It's Christmas Eve....a wonderful long day today and like Evan I remember so many we have lost in the GSD World and so many we personally have lost in our 'other life'......we went to two funerals this week and one 2 weeks ago and missed Mary Stoll's. Life is precious!! Hopefully we will all be Blessed with another Christmas and another day with our loved ones and friends tomorrow.... and truly appreciate what a gift each day is.......I hope and pray that we all remember those we have lost and appreciate those we still have, in friends, family, loved ones and loved dogs...... I may not be politically correct to many but.... MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone and may you have a truly BLESSED coming year.
