I was raised in a cat family, never had a dog. When it came time for Jim and I to get married he announced he wanted a dog, specifically a German Shepherd Dog. I said, Whoa hold on, I want to look around at all the breeds. It took us two years to settle on a breed and get married. He won, we bought then boarded a German Shepherd for a month before marriage. About ten years later when the house was crawling with German Shepherds he whined. I said, you wanted a German Shepherd. He said, yeah ONE! So I went back into showing horses. Since then he has yet to complain again about how many German Shepherds we have! Lissa ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
