In Loving Memory
May 25. 1999 - June 10,2005


The BEST dog in the whole wide world!!! He was such a good boy.

Sadly...he was hit by a car and killed Friday evening.
and I feel like it's all my fault because I forgot to put him in his pen that day Although he was always out and about...we frequently left him out of his pen...I still feel really bad about it.
My husband is crushed.....
Rest in peace buddy!

sorry to hear about your loss .... he is one cool lookin GSD ...

i had to put down my german shepherd on easter AM ... i called the vet at 4:30 am and the vet called me back in 5 minutes !!!!

it was a shocker ... but my gsd was 12 yrs old ... and well ... she wasnt good for 12 hours (long story -internal bleeding in the end) ...

i used to say i didnt think it would be that "emotional" a day ... losing a pet ... but now i realize how much it does shock ya ... i was in shock all day on easter am ...

Soooo sorry He looks like a really great dog .....I've lost a dog in the past and if I were to lose the ones I have now....I'd lose it.....They really do become family...

i do like your dogs mask ... i was wondering where u got him ... i actually did alot of research before i got my female back in 92/93... and she turned out great ... but i will say .... she was not a "breeding gsd" - meaning i could not get her papers to breed her .... which i would like to do nexttime i take the plunge...

Oh man, that sucks. Im so sorry, he looked like a proud little dude

That is so sad.

Sorry to hear about this.

I'm so sorry, Love.

sorry about your loss.

Thanx everyone....I'm sitting here at work just bawling! I never thought it would be so hard...but Major was like our first baby! We bought our house and got Major right way...so it just seems quiet in the yard now...the house feels void.
If everything happens for a reason then I can only hope Major was a sacrifice...so that some child or person didn't get hit and killed instead.
He's a hero in my heart.


MisterMan, I'm so sorry bout your Shep too! My Major was a pure breed, we got him from a lady who only bred her male and female twice. We wanted that classice shep look and we didn't really think we'd get that looking at his parents...his dad's coat was mostly black and his mom had long hair for a shep...all the puppies were black so we figured he'd be black but...he came out just the way we wanted him too (wouldn't have mattered either way) he was a HUGE GSD, about 110 lbs and just a big ol bear! He was so lovable and playful! and he was sooooo smart! Man o man this sux!
thanx again everyone!

Sorry about your loss Shorty and Mr.man.

I'm sorry Shorty. Don't blame yourself, things like this happen.

As a pet owner and dog lover...I am so sorry for your loss. I have 3 dogs at the moment..we lost the forth last year when he became ill and had to be euthanized....I cried like a baby...I can be such a sometimes....but what a great dog....my kids still ask about him and ask if he is in heaven...damn I am all sad now....somebody cheer me the hell up please!

I'm so sorry for you.

Don't feel guilty. There is always a chance things like this happen, but I think it's better to let them out and risk this then keep a pet and never let it out. I have a cat and live at an apartment. Every day, she goes outside to play in the surrounding gardens with other cats. My neighbours told me to keep her inside because the rumour goes there are cat-eaters living near. I'm a bit worried about that, but decided to risk it. I don't want my cat to be a sad animal staring out of the window all day.

Lots of strength to you !

I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry.

truly sorry to hear that. what a beautiful dog.




oh, and for goodness sake, don't blame yourself, sweetie.

I'm sorry

Shorty and family...

Aw, I am SO sorry to hear this!

Big

Aww, Shorty.

OMG! I am really sorry to hear this.

he's a really cute dog. It's hard to give your pets the freedom to run around and play outside when there are people out there who refuse to slow down or stop if an animal runs out in the street. I've been in cars with people where they made it a point to try and run over the animal just because they were too stubborn to slow down a little so it could pass.

We have 3 dogs, and I get terrified any time my dad walks them near a main road.

So sorry the hear about Major.
I have 3 dogs and I can only imagine what you & your husband are going through..

I'm so sorry to hear about this The thing I hate most about owning pets is losing them

Hugs and kiss to you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear your loss.

Thanx again everyone! You've all made it a little easier.
thing is too...we live on a dirt road...way off the beaten path.

I'm still

I also found out today that my father in law's dog...he was a stray who had been mistreated before.....they had him for about 5 months....they live in country and so this dog would just walk around their yard and they'd feed him.....He was so scared of people.....not a mean bone in his body.....after 5 months he had just started coming to them..... ..they found him at the end of their driveway.....someone had shot him in the leg...completely off... he crawled to their driveway...trying to make it home


Why????? He was such a sweetheart


RIP Major

RIP Shaggy
