We lost our buddy and best friend last night. AJ wasn't the first German Shepherd we ever had, but he was the one responsible for getting us so "active" in the breed. He was the best damn dog in the world to me and there will never be another like him. He had bloated last Sunday and we rushed him to the vet. He seemed to be doing better and came home yesterday, but I think he just wanted to pass in his own home surrounded by us. He took kis last breath right around 8:20 with me and Elaine at his side. I know he was almost 10, but we weren't ready for him to leave us yet. Goodbye my handsome man, I miss you terribly.
