I
am deeply saddened to report that my dear German Shepherd Dog,
Conway, has died. It has been a hard blow as I was very attached to
him! For those of you who don't know him, I rescued him from an abusive
home when he was about 6 months old back about 5 years ago. He was a
perfect fit with our family: loving, loyal, patient with the kids, well
mannered, and just gorgeous. I adored him. When we moved to the city we
agonized over what to do. Our farm was being rented and it seemed
logical to leave him there where he was at home and they promised to
take very good care of him. But I missed him tremendously! When we
moved into this house we brought him here from the farm and he was
happy until we had to go to Arizona for two weeks. He and Scamper,
Trenton's Rat Terrier, began getting out of the fence so when we got
back we reluctantly returned them to the farm where we figured
they would be safer while we traveled. Then winter came and we didn't
want to move them when it wasn't warm enough for the kids to play with
them in the back yard so we waited for Spring. And now when we were
just weeks away from going to get them again Conway must have
contracted some kind of tick fever and died. Scamper must be heart
broken as well as they have been inseparable since they met. We need to
go get him before something happens to him too. Trenton would be
devastated. These things are always hard to deal with with children. We
are trying to find the right time to tell the children but Todd felt
I needed some time to work through my grief before we told them. I
think that was wise...... Anyway, I will try to find some pictures of
him to share with you. I will just miss him sooo much! Posted 4/21/2006 at 11:29 AM
