Emma Rose Dabear – 03/14/2018
Emma Rose traded her earth jammies for the Sky, please look up and find her. She is shining bright! She left behind her beloved CharlieBear, RubyRoo DaBunny, many loved cats, and her mom Ame DaBear.
EmmaRose was 16 1/2, and a wonderful 66 pounds. She was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor, thyroid cancer, heartworms and a heart mass in the last 15 months and yet…survived and was always able to do whatever it was that she wanted to do whenever she wanted to do it.
EmmaRose defied the odds and lived out her days doing what she loved to do: woofling at the stars, working the land and watching over her pony and dog.
She no longer needs to woofle at the stars as she is one tonight.
Will love and miss you to eternity and back, Miss EmmaRose DaBear. Your job is done here, and we’ll be seeing you.
Ame Dabear will see the comments & hopes you will all remember her EmmaRose Warrior!
Oh Ame, I’m so terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Emma Rose. She was and is a true legend, indomitable warrior bear, woofler bear par excellence, pancaker extraordinaire .
She had defied the odds for so long, I had come to believe she must be immortal, and indeed she is: she will live forever in our hearts, in the stars above and in the soul of her beloved CharlieBear.
Flags at Pie Palace are flying at half mast today in honour of EmmaRose DaBear.
Ame, I know you must be devastated. The space EmmaRose leaves truly is immense. Please know we stand beside you in your grief. We mourn with you. Over at the bridge, I know Elsie Pie will have elbowed her way to the front of the queue to greet the legend that is EmmaRose….
Sending you so much love my friend. Please lean on us. We’re here.
Meg, Clare and Angel Pie xxx
Dear Clare, Meg, and The Very Excellent Angel Pie…DaBear HQ is humbled by your very kind words for us and for your true understanding of the character and spirit of EmmaRose and how much of a North Star she was for all of us. I do believe she and Miss Pie will be spending much time together as only they know how much of the glue they were for the loose cannon of the indomitable Meg and the now seriously adrift CharlieBear. I, too, believed EmmaRose was immortal. And, she was. She was on guard and at work until the very end. She was not in pain. And her journey leaving her earth jammies was , in the end, brief. Thank you for holding us up and holding EmmaRose in your memories. Elsie and she can only look down at us in wonder at just how much work they put into us, Meg, and CharlieBear. We should all be so blessed. Sending love to you all from DaBear HQ.
So sorry for your loss Ame. What a warrior pet you had in EmmaRose
Your story is truley inspirational.
I will look for her in the sky this very evening
God Bless
Thank you for your kindness and words. EmmaRose was definitely an outlier but my wish is that she gives hope to others that there is ALWAYS a chance one may be an outlier. Thank you for looking to the stars. I was blessed to have her in my life.
Over 16 years old considering her challenges is amazing and wonderful and a tribute to her Mom’s love and care.
A long, well lived life is so special but it does not make the parting any easier.
Take care of yourself Ame and the rest of the pack. It’s hard on everyone when a member goes on ahead especially when they have been inseparable for so long.
Karen and the Spirit Pug Girls
Thank you Karen. Your stories were always an inspiration to us as the girls, too, had complicated complexities and yet you have been here full of warmth and helping us all. And, yes, oddly, I should have been prepared, but, instead, had come to believe EmmaRose would always be here. Silly me! Am very grateful for your kind rememberance of her.
Oh Ame!! I was wondering about you these last few weeks. I am so sorry to hear this and most of all now I hope that CharlieBear is coping somehow.
You’re in my thoughts Ame, all of you.
Biggest of hugs
Tina
(Thank you for this, Holly!)
Tina, I have often thought of Manni as the immortal one given his diagnosis and outlier status. I know his transitioning was heartbreaking. CharlieBear is willing to be shipped to you for hugs and kisses and lounging around at a moment’s notice. He is terribly bereft for the time being but an international trip may just be the ticket.Of course, Tiggy may have to come along as well.
Ame, I have been thinking about you and DaBears and meaning to text and check in. I am so sorry the beautiful, tough, tenacious and zesty EmmaRose could stay with her family no longer. I do hope dear CharlieBear, you, RoobyRoo and Tiggy are comforted by her bright light shining down upon you each night. Sending love up to her and out to all of you. She could not have been more loved nor better cared for in her remarkable tenure on this earth.
Love,
Lisa Marie
Lisa and Angel Pofi: You two are the reason anyone has ever heard of DaBear HQ. It has been awhile (eons even) since I have been on the site but I have thought often of everyone here. In the end it was always true that EmmaRose did what EmmaRose wanted to whenever she wanted to. On her last day in earth jammies, no one had to come see her and she did not have to leave her farm. She was fully aware and engaged until the end. So Lisa, Pofi likely had a paw or two in that. I always considered him as guiding us to the site and as watching over DaBears. Thank you for your kindness and thoughts. EmmaRose and Pofi are running free now.
I have thought sof da bear headquarters so many times these past few months. Heartbroken to know beautiful Emma Rose had to go on. Such a beautiful tenacious spirit she has….! I hope you can feel the outpouring of love we’re sending to da bears headquarters! I know she left surrounded by the same love she experienced in life. Fly free Angel Emma I shall look for your light in the sky tonight! ❤️
Linda & Spirit Mighty Max
Thank you Holly for sharing this sad news and all the beautiful pictures of da bears!
We have thought of all of you often as well. Your words and thoughts have shown us that EmmaRose truly will be remembered and for that we are deeply grateful. For a working dog living a simple life who came from a kill shelter, well, that is remarkable. Thank you for using the word tenacious. She really was and I learned a lot from her. I was very blessed to have her in my life as long as I did. In dog years she was 108! Thank you for looking to the stars and for thinking of CharlieBear and RubyRoo. Your kindness helps us during our grief.
I am so sorry for your loss of Emma Rose. We all are thinking about you. We know how hard it is for you. Watch for her signs. She will show you she is around. She had a beautiful spirit.
Sending all my love
Michelle & Angel Sassy
Michelle, you are right about signs. When my father passed, we found a mourning dove at our door the very next morning. Same for my grandmother. And, on Emma’s very last day, a mourning dove flew down to the ground in the pasture several feet in front of her and stayed. Now, in the 18 years I have been here, I have never seen a mourning dove on the ground in the pasture ( cats, dogs, horses). But there it was. After EmmaSrose left her earth jams that evening, what did I hear the next morning and each one since? A lone mourning dove. Thank you for remembering EmmaRose. She has just transitioned but is still present in her signs.
:(. I’m so sorry to hear you lost your sweet Emma Rose. I hope you and CharlieBear are doing okay. I will look to the skies to say hello to Emma Rose.

Thank you for looking to the stars. I am certain there are many innumerable constellations of TriPawds’ warriors shining brightly on us ( even if EmmaRose was only an honorary TriPawd!) CharlieBear and Tiggy are adrift at the moment but that is how it should be. She is all they have ever known. Will work on taking CharlieBear out for more chicken though and hope that this helps! Thank you for looking to the stars and for your kind words.
Ohhh we are so sad to hear the news. Emma Rose will be deeply missed by all, we are so sorry.
Her spirit was bright on earth, and we know that it will outshine even the brightest constellations in heaven. All that love and care you gave her throughout your time together will only help to keep her spirit shining brightly for all time. She will never, ever be forgotten.
With all our condolences and love,
Rene, Jim, Wyatt Ray & Spirit Jerry
Thank you Rene and Jim and wild Wyatt Ray and, the man himself, Spirit Jerry. We are forever thankful for this community that you have brought forth and for this part: understanding our grief yet sustaining our spirits. The TriPawds constellation must be shining like a super nova. EmmaRose will no be an indelible part of this thanks to your work and faith.
As you know, we celebrate the victories with uncontrollable joy…And we grieve the loss of our family members with uncontrollable tears and heartache.
And then there are some transitions that take our geief a little deeper than others and our pain lasts a little than usual. That’s, in part, because we get to KNOW some of our family members a little more than others.
You gave us the PRIVILEGE, THE TRUE PRIVILEGE AND HONOR, of traveling by your side wpever since DaBear brought you, and Riggy and EmmaRose and RubyRoo et all to us!
DaBears HQ brought us sooooo much joy…..sooooo much support…..soooo much incredibly helpful inormation. The DaBears instilled courage and hope into anyway facing this journey.
And EMMA ROSE was always at the forefront to show everyone that miracles do happen!! That sweet girl overcame one obstacle after another! And she was able to persevere because of YOUR love and devotion and determination to NEVER give up!! OMD, such a WARRIOR…just like her Mom!!
These pictures speak volumes about EmmaRose and her love of life…and her love for Charlie DaBear! She ALWAYS looks content, so happy. She looks like such a wise Soul who knows kife never ends, it just changes form. She had no fear about anything. She knew she was loved and she knew her life impacted us all in such a positive way! Yeah, she knew she lived a life of meaning, that’s for sure.
Make no mistake aboutnit….and I mean this….EMMA ROSE WILL NEEEEVER BE FORGOTTEN HERE!! Her kife mattered…and still matters!!
Yes, she IS the brightest star yiu see every night…the brightest twinkling one. And ya’ know what? And this is just my belief, whenever you see a shooting Star in the future, that will be EmmaRose coming back into her earth clothes!! Hmmmm….it’ll be interesting to see hiw she shows up!
Anne, thank you again for letting us get to know Emma Rose…and to love her.
I shall go back up and scroll through the pictures again. They make my heart smile through the tears.
Surrounding you with EmmaRose’s eternal light,
Sally and My Chunky Spiritual Being Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie
