The shepherd was a very handsome dog.
Sorry for your loss.

She also recently got a new puppy, however (not as a gut reaction to losing her first dog), so at least life goes on.
We just went through the same thing with our female boxer, (Bella). She was only 20 mos.old. It was pretty devastating, I must say.Lokar said:My mother in law's oldest dog was put down a few days ago, she took her to the vet and found out she had a large amount of cancerous tumours.

A betta fish named Ethan (after Ethan Frome). I'm in college, so he is the only type of pet that I can have in my dorm.
I do have a cat as well, at home. I miss her so much when I'm at school. There is nothing like a cuddly feline to come home to at the end of the day.
Here's Patches, among my sister's christmas gifts this year. Excuse my sister's foot lol
To Lokar and all those who have lost pets, I am so sorry. I know that they become part of the family and the loss is never easy. Just remember: All dogs (and cats and fish and birds, etc.) go to heaven!
Howard Hughes said:...Second, and I know we all forget at times, can I just remind everyone not to use the flash option on their camera when photographing animals, they nearly all have very sensitive eyesight, and a camera can actually lead to permanent eye damage...
Howard Hughes said:Whatto David,
If you need evidence that a camera flash will cause eye damage, just turn your camera around, hold the flash part to your eye and press shoot.
Hey presto !....... ten hours in casualty/ER.

Oh dear !
I seem to have stirred up a hornets nest here.
I must apologise for voicing my concern for the welfare of animals.
No, I am not a vet, and neither am I a dog, or do I speak dog language so I can not speak/nor should should I have spoken on behalf of the species.
Obviously vets do speak dog, and no dog author has ever voiced his concern on the matter, so all is well.
I will happily retract my input to this thread and and apologise to everyone for my gross ignorance.
Puppy say cheese.
