On a lighter note, for those who do have photos, just curious what is the photo? Are the people in the photos of you or your parents or your pet? Some photos I just can't figure out due to size, one looks like a apple pie :)
The photo I have with my screen name is the U.S. Capital Building in Washington D.C. since I live out in the burbs, and my hobby was politics until my parents decided my hobby should be them.
MomsGirl12, I think it would be so cool to have an old card catalog or even one of those old inside post office mailbox sets with the little windows on the mailbox and the spin dials :)
Good grampa goes bad grampa with no helmet!
He's the 4th shepherd I've owned...all males. They are a wonderful breed. One of my shepherds saved my life by alerting me to a carbon monoxide leak leak in my home. As I tried to go to bed, he'd have NONE of it...pawing at me, barking, a regular Lassie Moment. The furnace exhaust (in the cellar) had broken away from the wall and the furnace was exhausting into the house.
When we first got Josh (she gave him to us, by the way), he'd never heard a TV, a door bell, a dishwasher, etc., etc. He'd lived in a beautiful outbuilding with 27 other shepherds all his six years. He was scared to DEATH when we brought him into our home. He'd never set foot in one before.
But GSD's being the noble creatures they are, he soon adapted...made friends with feral cats Tom fed every night, and soon we had two playmates for him. He was a gentle soul.
I have four beautiful, wonderful, loyal GSDs waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge. It makes the coming journey we're all going to take almost a reward.
During this last year? Just to get her to LOOK in the right direction is a feat. ("No, Mom! Look over HERE! THIS way! You're looking at something off in the distance! Look at my nose!")
Freq, I love these threads. Thank you!
