My sweet sweet girl

4dognight · 07-03-2009, 05:20 PM

We lost our German Shepherd Dog early sunday morning. She was 9 years old and just a remarkable animal. She was abandoned at a race horse farm at 6 mos and had mange, parasites,fleas and ticks. She was dog aggressive. She turned out to be a wonderful representative of the breed She had papers and was of European lines. She mothered and kept in line all my young fosters, she knew before all of us that my mother was very ill and my daughters boyfriend had been bitten by two GSD's when he was a teenager. She made it her job to let him know how wacky,weird and wonderful German Shepherds are. I got up sunday morning and whan we all came down the steps she was not her chirpy self. I took one look at her and knew something was wrong. We flew to the ER. Her gums were pale and it was determined her spleen had ruptured....Hemangiosarcoma again(we lost savannah to it last year) the best we could do was not let our loyal friend suffer. My son,daughter and her boyfriend(who by now loves them sheppys just as we do) all were there to say our final goodbyes. The house is so empty. My amazing girl left this world with my arms tight around her.

Go with grace my sweet sweet bailey There is a shooting star waiting in the heavens for you. You taught everyone around you just what love is.

My heart is just so heavy,I had just picked up an older GSD at the shelter a week before she left us. I think he will stay. I cannot imagine my life without one of these beautiful dogs in it.

So sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a wonderful relationship and she was a great companion. It's always hard to see them go.

They are truly amazing creatures, aren't they?

Your Bailey sounds like she was a very special girl. Her luck certainly changed for the better when you came into her life.

She will watch over you from above. Take good care.

Bailey was as lucky to have you as you were her- you'll see her again someday- when it's time. In the meantime I'm sure she'll still be helping to look after the others.

Bailey chose her family well. She knew where to get the good things life has to offer. Thank you for taking her in and seeing that she got them.
