Zoa reminded me of one many years ago. As I've mentioned my first GSD was sired by Ann Mesdag's import Frack VonDerBerg Arkenstede (spelling might be wrong after all these years) A really great guy too. Anyway, Freida (Ok, first German woman)!! did a great job raising my 2 sons to be Drs. She'd bring horse and/or cows in to the barn perfectly. We had an orange (Garfield/Morris) cat that would sit on top of some of the hay bales and actually leap down onto her as she came near. He'd fall off & then jump up batting/boxing at her as if she was the culprit! Oh I miss it so but the memories are so wonderful to be able to share with you folks.
