My oldest dog turned 8 today
She is the one that started it all over for me again. I didn't have any pets for about 3-4 years before she came along. I didn't have any intentions of getting a dog at that time either. We just went to look at the shelter and ran across her. She was injured and just had surgery..she laid there with 10 staples in her leg. When she looked at me, it felt like she was looking through my soul. I continued on throughout the shelter, but was drawn back to her. One hour later I brought her home. What a ride its been In the beginning I had to do whatever I could to stay ahead of her, she was smarter then me from day 1 I've had her for 7 years and along the way she has been a strong presence in our family. She has taken in every stray, loved them whether they stayed or left, she has rescued numerous injured birds and bunnies. She has taught my other dogs all the things their mothers would have if they were still with her. She speaks they listen 1000 years isn't enough time with her and I'm blessed to have her in my life![]() Today she got the full treatment at the groomer....bath, cut, brush, ears, teeth, and nails...she had a spa day Then she came home to her gifts and cake. Some would say I'm crazy because of the things I do for my dogs, but I love them and they are part of my family..they might not know its their birthday, but they sure enjoy the special attention they get![]() http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...attach/jpg.gif http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...attach/jpg.gif

Happy b-day! What a cutie! My oldest is 8 too and she was my first dog.
