This is a picture of our wild child of a german shepard.she is so full of life,a joy to be with.she has got such a personality.loves our kids and the neighbors.she will play ball until she drops,and she good at catching it in mid air.we got her shortly after we had to put our doberman down,he was 11 when he developed prostate cancer.he hung on for another year,the last 3 months was rough.putting him down tore me to pieces.i sat with him until he took his last breath looking in his eyes,my little jakey boy.i don’t think i ever wept as hard as i did that day.

I could’nt bring myself to look for another dog,but my wife was insistent we go look at this litter of german shepard pups.she was the last one left all black with a top coat.she was so shy and cute we could’nt resist.little did we know what a pistol she is.the air of impending death had hung over our house for such a long time she was a breathe of new life our home really needed.she won’t ever replace our jake,he will always hold a special place in our hearts,but she has given our family so much love and companionship.her name is delilah.like samson @delilah.

1-7-2009- I just finished Rescuing Sprite. I had a wonderful Rottie/Black Lab mix I saved from the Humane Society named Wolfy 12 yrs ago. I had to make that tough but loving decision in May 2007 to make her suffering of cancer end with her in my arms. She fought until I told her in a firm voice “GO WOLFY” (I fear the tears well up as I write this). There still not a day that goes by that I do not think of her and what we’ve experienced together.

I wish she was still here to expeirence my new grandson, she loved children, gentle as a lamb with them. Although now I am a proud owner of a Pekingese, named Lucy, it’s not Wolfy. I allowed her to choose me was very selfish, I knew this breed could live to 16 yrs. At the time of Lucy choosing me I swear I would never ever love another pet again, but there she was all flat faced and curly wagging tail, how could any dog lover resist.

Lucy is a far cry from Wolfy in all ways, that still doesnt stop me from missing Wolfy. Don’t get me wrong, I love Lucy for her own personality, just wish I could still have Wolfy too. I found great comfort in your book. Thank you so much for giving me the acceptence of grief and knowing others feel as I do and placing those feelings in writing to express they may be dogs but to those who love them, they are family.

Me and my husband bought Maggie our now two and a half year old pit bull right after we got engaged, she has been the biggestt blessing in our life. she is the biggest sweetheart we have had her around so many other animals from other dogs to a parrot, a Ginny Pig, and our two Goats and she adores them all. she dosent know she is suppose to be a killer like we hear about so many other pit bulls, its a shame that the media has destroyed this wonderful breeds reputation.
