I got a sad, but wonderful phone call today.. - Page 2

Thank you for sharing that, Jill.  Yes, it's sad, but the ache will ease knowing how much love your kind act and Shadow's company affected this couple. 

Glad I decided to post it also... btw, My name's Jill, not Karen...

Whoops! Sorry Jill :D  Got your name confused with an above post. 

I, Catherine, was a single mother,still mama and I can feel the sadness of the story as I lost both gsds within 7 months of each other and that was 2008 and am still crying over it, the female and male had 2 sets of pups and were pure german bloodline gsd.  I mis tem so much especially the male.  In 2008 I also had a severe strokes and lost a 7 year abusive relationship.  I am living on ssd and ssi and am disabled but can walk and talk and hands and legs work. Thank GOD.  I wish I had the money to get another Smokey and Queen as it would mend my broken heart.  I have only had gsd since i was 1 year old.  They are truly human and really understand you so much.  I am glad those people had shadow too as I had 2 dogs that I loved more than humans themselves.  As a child when things got lonely and disfunctioning in the family my dog Trixie was alway there to protect me to cry with me and to play with me.  I am glad there are people like us who truly love gsd for what they are and return the love and respect they deserve. Thank you for your sad/wonderful story

I got a call back last night... and thought you folks would smile @ the update...  

They have a reservation in to get a puppy right after Christmas... YUP... another German Shepherd!  They said after considering may options they agreed that only another Shepherd would answer their needs...     We have another convert...

Wonderful story, thanks for sharing.
