i have been a gsd lover my WHOLE life. i had one as a nanny until i was two and he had to be put down...old age...things quitting on him. when i was about five i asked my dad about this dog i kept having memories of. he broke down crying like i am now. and he told me about his gsd/lab mix named Baron as he pulled out a photo album and showed me pictures. gsds are defintly one of my most favorite breeds. i wanted one for the longest time. my neighbors had a gsd/black lab mix. he was really friendly and pretty much our neighborhood block dog. for years i kept wishing for a dog and all i ever was alowed to have were other small pets. then one day we got a rat terrier. i was so excited, but not as excited as i was a few years back. some other neighbors got a gsd/? puppy. and from the day they got him i wanted him to be my dog. so whenever i could i'd go over to race him along the fence or pet him through the slats in the other fence. for ten years i longed to give such a beautiful, loving dog a home. then one day, ten years after this pup was brought into the world, my prayers were answered. and now as happy as i can be, my best friend lays behind me as i type this. some day i will enter him as dog of the day. for me he is dog of eternity. sometimes i feel guilty for loving King so much, as if i'm betraying Baron. but i think he may have been watching over us. as my guardian on earth, he may be so in heaven. *shrugs* so, for now and the rest of the days King has left, i try to treasure each moment. no other dog will ever be as special to me. even the dog i have repetly risked my life for, protecting her from evil fists to only get grounded; has been replaced by the dog i always wanted. i dreamed him up in my child hood dreams, and he was born. it will be hard for me to let him go.
yes, i am a lover of the breed German Shepherd Dog
