Tamrans Dece Perfect 10 March 19, 1996-May 10, 2010 Yesterday we said goodbye to our precious DeeCee, after her short but courageous Battle with Cancer. DeeCee had 9 Championship Points when she retired from the Ring. We got her from her Breeder-Owner 3 days before 9/11/01. DeeCee immediately established herself as a beloved Family Companion. She assumed the Responsibility of Pack Matriarch, which included jobs such as helping train Puppies, comforting dogs and cats after surgeries such as Spay/Neuter, and calming me down when I got over-emotional with my Dial-up Internet "Service." Every Litter of Puppies born in our Pack spent some time with DeeCee, being trained in the ins-and-outs of being a German Shepherd. DeeCee was a natural-born Comedienne, and she showed a lot of Puppies how to get into Mischief. (Opening and Raiding the Refrigerator was the most famous trick she taught a Litter). We all know when we get a Dog that this Day will arrive sooner or later. But that doesn't make it any easier to handle. This sweet and gentle Girl is now at the Bridge, free of Pain, and healthy once again. I take Comfort in that Knowledge. You can rest now, my sweet and brave DeeCee. You did more Good and brought more Joy in your short 14 Years than many People do in a Lifetime.
