Dear GSD public,
 
As many of you know my name is Alvin. I am writting this because I know my moms 
and they won't feel up to it and I feel I need to let you all know about my 
last days. I want to send thanks and love to my first handlers Leslie Dancose, 
Donna Calabrese, and my last handler the little lady Melissa Chavez, and all 
those that helped inbetween. What a run I've had my moms have said so many 
times that I am their hero. And I and they will never forget my teenage years 
when my Aunt Carole joined my family and believed in me when I was well should 
we say in my akward stages. I have many many people that have been so so kind 
to me. My yearly national crew thats been different from year to year but 
has always bathed me and loved me like I was theirs.... I hate to start naming 
least I should forget anyone. My family on the hill Papa Bart and MiMa Cindy 
who let me spend my last years doing what I love best SWIMMING! And all the 
many people who
 have welcomed me into their homes, cooked for me, fussed over me, and let me 
rest a while on their couches, as in many cases thoughout life a mere thank you 
would not come close. I have so many memories.....among my favorites is the 
many times I made my moms do crazy things trying to what do they call it double 
handling? any way they were always in the wrong spot but they always had grins 
from ear to ear watching me do my thing! And what about in the begining in my 
favorite other country CANADA where they stomped on the stands for me and the 
time at the US national where my Quad Cities Club fans chanted my name......I 
could hardly believe so many people knew my name wow I certainly have had many 
many memories. I heard my moms say that I had a stroke whatever that means all 
I know is I went from stealing toys from the little two legged fella that keeps 
wanting to use me as a pillow (I don't mind he's kinda cute) to feeling like I 
got run over by a
 truck. Everything seems to be slowing down for me and I think that I might 
want to go to that place they talk about where I can do what I love to do 
stretch out and run, eat pizza, and listen to fans yelling for me....do you 
think they have "girlfriends" there? mmm I'll have to check on that. The sun is 
just rising and it looks like its going to be a beautiful day today and I think 
as any lady or gentlemen says its time for me to say good night, farewell, and 
have a wonderful day. I know they'll find me later sleeping with one of my many 
stuffed toys under my chin but...don't cry for me, my moms I am running with 
the greats and I gave you so so much and now its time for me too take some time 
for myself. So one last time Alvinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn says farewell and thank you 
so so much for your love and support.
