Chewing on a stick as the snow begins to fall.

Shadow, a German Shepherd which I selected, trained and occasionally looked after for his master (later my friend) had to be put down due to incurable spinal and neurological problems. A part of me died with him as he considered me a member of his pack and I also considered him, in part, as my dog. Whenever I could, I'd take him out for a hike in the woods with my two dogs Litchi and Will.

I apologize for originally misleading some viewers into believing he was my GS.

Going through that chewing phase. I repaired his bed, which is still holding him for now! The original bed lasted about a week before he chewed it to shreds! Lucky he is cute and lovable!

Just wanted to share this photo of Otto I took last month. It's really hard watching these guys get old and slow down. Good thing for photos, right? We can capture all the moments of their lives to remember them.

I took this photo about 12 years ago of our dogs. Sadly passed on now but they were great company and we have many happy memories of them at training clubs and going to obedience shows.

The Rottweiler thought she was a German Shepard, she couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed in the German Shepherd training club we belonged to.

We had another beautiful sunshiny day yesterday. It was 20F in the morning but warmed up to 40 later in the day.

Otto was sitting and just soaking in the sun on his face while I was photographing birds and I had to take his photo.

Home sweet home. I usually have the other side of the couch.

Simcha is ready and waiting for our game of chase to begin.

I love the way Heidi curls up around the pillow and arm of the couch.

Greetings on our walk

This is a 1978 shot of our son and dog having some fun on Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands. Our dog Roma was a pure white German shepherd, but it would be hard to prove it with this shot. She loved attacking all that sloppy wet sand our son Scott was flipping behind him

Simcha is a creature of the forest and prefers animals to people.
