Oh -- Helen, I've never met you, but the nostalgia we have with our love for
the animals is so special!
Today I have shed some serious tears as one of my 2 grandsons came to visit.
He's at LSU and when
he first started, he asked me to help him with a project (2008) he wanted to
do for an assignment. MY
FARM -- I had NO idea it had impacted his life so completely until I read
his report (got a top grade too)
I'm, as mentioned before, writing my autobiography and wanted him to return
the pics etc. to me before he
(well, you know) misplaced them or whatever. I am sitting here crying
"happy tears" as I read about the
splendid loving feelings he has had in his "heart" as mentioned, for my GSDs
and the "farm"! LIFE IS GOOD,
as Ed would say!!! There is no other creature on this earth --- believe
me --- like our GSDs people!!! The
very very best! TNX for allowing us to share. Norma with real real happy
tears!

I had to make a decision 9 yrs ago when I closed down my kennel building.
I brought the last three remaining dogs into the house to live out their
remaining lives . All were over 10 yrs of age.and over the next 4 yrs went
to the bridge. I had to make a decision whether to get another GSD. I
decided NO. With my age ,I would worry about who would take care of it
,when I
died. My son brought me a rescue Cat. I had owned show Siamese before .but
this one was just a cat-cat at 4 mos of age. He is now 9 yrs old,very
pretty and since I treated him like a dog --with commands-- like stay--get
back
,watch me, go eat your food etc, he is at my side constantly--a pest like
dogs came be. He also takes outside walks off leash with my son--comes when
called.Cats live longer (20-21 yrs) and somehow I won't feel so worried
about him if I die before him . Cats seem more independent. GSDs are so
special, nothing can really replace them,but I had my 50 yrs with
exhibiting
and breeding them. IF I need a GSD "fix", I can always go to our training
center or a dog show. I've been very fortunate in judging them since 1965
also. Helen Miller Fisher
