In early December our first german shepherd died rather suddenly. Her large intestine just stopped working. She was a great dog, obedient, loyal, a great running partner, calm...
We fostered another german shepherd who was much smaller, but it bit Matt and hated our basset hound. So, she had to go back. That rescue also didn't have any other dogs that were compatible with other pets.
When I was looking online I spotted a german shepherd south of us in Franklin and applied. I was told that we were second in line, and that the other family looked promising. So, I didn't give it much thought. Then, on Christmas Eve we were told that the other family fell through and we went to meet him.
After our visit, we decided to give it a try. He gets along with our other dog fairly well. (except he likes to wake her up--to play--which annoys her greatly!!) He's definitely much more active and likes to be around people more. He also doesn't like cats. (Our neighbor feeds over 30!!) He has some funny quirks like he crosses his legs when he lays down and likes to kick around a soccer ball.
I'm working on good leash walking right now and he's learning very quickly. With that all said, hopefully he'll stick around for a while!
