Had to put down Jack, my old dog, about five years ago. I miss him. Still not puppy time for me yet. Jack and his lady want me to get another German Shepard Dog.
"My Father's House has many mansions." Every mansion has room for a few good dogs.
Sarge looks good to me. Puppy thoughts and a pure heart.
When we had to put down an adorable 8 year old mix I had I thought I would never be able to get another, it was just too hard.
It's been about 5 years for me, too. He was such a wonderful dog. You can love another though if you have the will to offer yourself up to heartbreak provided the Lord wills that you out-live the dog. They provide so much love and only ask that you give them a home...and a treat now and then. ;-)
You know what 'they' say. It's better to have loved and lost...
