One of the saddest things that can happen to us is to lose a pet that we love dearly. We dearly loved our dog, Greta, a 12 year-old German Shepherd. I found Greta at an animal shelter when she was about 8 months old. She had been "turned in" there for reasons that were not really clear. What was clear was that she was a frightened and unhappy. But she took to me and I took to her. After a couple hours, arrangements were made and I brought her to her new home. Greta was with us for over 11 1/2 years, bringing love and joy every day of those years--even when she dug holes in the yard and chewed on furniture. Soon she outgrew those puppy habits and much too soon (for us) she grew old.
We lost Greta the night of January 14th, 2009. This is a small tribute to her memory and the love she gave us, and we hope she comes to visit us from time to time.
She was a party animal.
