I too had a "Woody" CH. Arelee's Woodstock CD, TC, Pacific Coast Victor 1977, HS CH. GSDCA His affectionate ways were many, but my favorite was " taking me for a walk.", he would gently take your wrist or hand and walk/lead you to where ever he chose to take you. Sometimes it was strictly affection, other times he wanted to show me something that I wasn't aware of, and should be. When we had puppies available and prospective buyers would come, once he sized them up, he would lead them to the puppy pen, in the same manner. This was also a wonderful indicator to me, I could size up these prospects by their attitude with "Woody", and his attitude with them. He also would jump straight up in the air, all fours, showing his joy and affection, he sometimes put his big red paws on your shoulder, his face in your face for kisses or an admiring look of pure devotion. He is long gone, but NEVER forgotten.
