This is my last Shepherd who passed away last year...I still think about her all the time, as she was a fantastic friend. She died on her 13th birthday.
I really wanted to wait, but it was very difficult not to have a dog wagging its tail as you walk in the house. So about a month later, I came home with this...and all black German Shepherd.
I know, I know, she looks like a lab...but when she thought really, really hard, she was able to at least get something that resembled a Shepherd.
This was the first day her ears stood up. She was showing me how she did it.
Eventually though, she did grow up (well, she's still classified as a puppy...)
And now she's our go everywhere dog. She loves riding in the MINI...one of her favorite things to do!
And, I do mean 'go everywhere'.
