I read the whole thing. Agree, a great story! Someday you will have to put it to paper. It's a total Lifetime Movie of the Week story! Oprah would have LOVED to meet you guys. Please do keep us posted. My world could definitely use some positive news now and then.

Another update..

Fox news interviewed Sean, his mom, and me today for about 3 hours. They are going to run a story about the struggles and depression Sean has faced when dealing with his kidney problem, since he has been passed up 8 times now for a transplant. They got some footage of us playing with Chief and Rogue and some of us walking the dogs down the street. The story is supposed to air sometime in February and go national. They still need to get some footage of him at dialysis and interview a couple more people.

Btw we told the reporter and producer the story of how we met. They agreed it should be a movie!

Very cool! I hope the exposure will help him get a much needed kidney. Thanks for updating, I'll look forward to the link of the news story!

I would spend a lot of time and efforts to understand what went wrong and if there is a fix. I would work with my dog to overcome the problem, and after the dog is rehabilitated I may rehome the dog in case me or someone in my family would keep resenting the dog. We do need to take into consideration everyone we live with, animals and humans, and work on finding the best solution possible.

But if after all I would still believe that my dog is unstable and dangerous I would be with my dog when he's put to sleep. I would not want someone else be hurt by my dog by sending him to another home, and I would also not want my dog to die among strangers. Then I would be left with a guilt for failing my dog, and would try very hard not to find myself in that position again.

Because I love my dog, MustLoveGSDs.

How things have changed.

Where I grew up (in Irish countryside) a dog biting a human (especially a family member) was the end of the dog. My dad took one of his favorite (working) dogs out and shot him after he bit his young niece in the face. That was the way it was back then (30 years ago).

Thankfully there's been some progress & a bite isn't an automatic death sentence.

To Jamie, I wish you & yours the very best. Let us know if I mean when you write that book!

Psychiatric Trauma of Waiting for Transplant

Sean received a transplant on feb 20th. It has gone into cellular rejection and they are treating him with IVIG to try and kick start the kidney. When I am not working I spend my days/nights off at the hospital with Sean. This has been such a roller coaster. We are all trying to stay strong.

I'm praying for Sean.
