Shadow has passed away...
that's the sad part... the rest is what we all strive for... having placed the perfect puppy with the perfect people 11 years ago. This couple had been bringing in their elderly Rotti to the Vet Hospital for a few years. A great dog... worthy o' being a German Shepherd... lol. When he passed away they were devistated... they talked from time to time about getting a new dog, but just couldn't take that step. I had a litter with one pup who always caught my eye. Smart... the 1st to do everything... alert and watching everything that came up without being at all hyper. I considered keeping him, but had a male who was my #1 Bud. And It kept coming back to me that he should be with this couple. So one day I drove up to their house and presented them with the pup as a gift... They named him Shadow... and he was their shadow everywhere they went for the next 11 years. Mike is manager of Lime Rock Race Track, and Shadow shared the office and pits from the time he was 9 weeks old. Met everyone and shared every moment of their life....
They called to thank me for the 11 years, and for knowing he was what they needed... and that they were what he needed. Though they "were" Rotti people, they're now diehard Shepherd devotees... and asked me to help them find their next best friend...
Here's to Special dogs... and to special Owners to share their lives... I know he'll wait for them loyally. RIP Shadow.

What an awesome "gift" you gave this couple. You made a huge stage of their lives so enriched by the wonderful Shadow. All of us know the ache in their hearts at this time.
