very sorry Bio
I understand your grief Bio. I just recenly lost my female Hanna ( german shepherd dog ). She was so special to me also. I have the male Gunther left, but he is starting to show signs of aging as well. I rescued Hanna from the pound, she was 40 lbs underweight and full of disease. The pound didn't want me to take her in fear that she wouldn't make it ( she was due for extermination that very day). I know that my lord sent me there that very day to find her and save her. She turned out to be the best animal I ever had, and made a full recovery within two months. I loved her almost as much as I love my own child which I only have one of, he is a man now. Hanna was there through all of my ups and downs, you see, she was with my late wife Karen when she was sick with cancer, and Hanna was the last one to see her before the lord called my Karen home. Hanna would not leave her side, and lay right next to her until the bitter end. I am still in awe of that time back around five years ago. I do take comfort in the fact that I was able to give Hanna eight extra years of life however, and also the fact that Hanna is now with my karen. I know that dogs have souls and anyone that tries to tell me different is talking on deaf ears. You will always be in your dogs hearts as well as they will always be in yours. One day you and I will run through the fields and play ball with our animals again. Good luck, and God bless Bio
