have to say I'm suffering major anxiety attacks. I MUST ENSURE THESE DOGS' SAFETY AND PEACEFUL LIFE UNTIL THEIR NATURAL DEATH INTERVENES. THAT'S MY COVENANT. And no, as far as I know, my demise is not immanent. But I'm curious/anxious to know how others have dealt with this issue. AND -- how can this issue help advance LASTHOPEGSD's hope for a sanctuary for GSD rescues? Is there a way we can help advance that? Dawn, and folks, you need to address this. All my friends have little dogs. My kids don't like dog hair. What am I to do to do right by my beloved companions???????? It's a very painful discussion, but one we need to have. Fran Henry ******************************* I know what you mean. Luckily, my daughter Kwis will provide for our dogs and we have left money in our will to make this happen.
