German Shepherd Dog

[Rusky]

A friends GSD 'Cassie' recently went to the bridge. Cassie was an old girl and her owner who still is an obedience trainer celebrated her 80th birthday a couple of years ago.

I want to send my friend a sympathy note and I have seen owners here post the most beautiful picture of a GSD waiting at the bridge. I really would like to send my friend that picture but I have no idea where to look.

Cassie was a fantastic dog and so funny as her owner would use Cassie as a demo dog for some excercises which was fine so long as it wasn't raining.

Soon as the rain came and she was on a 'stay or wait' she would scoot off to the car and jump in the back to shelter from the rain, she was an elderly dog when she did that but it always made me giggle.

I would also see Cassie and her owner just walking in the park, 2 dear old friends strolling along ;)

I hope someone can help me with the gif.

I don't know how they get that but your dear old friend can share Rielly's poem just change the he for a she, so sad about old Cassie one day they will be together again see if you can copy and paste the pic you are after.

RIELLY"S POEM

I was standing on a hillside in a field of flowing wheat

And the spirit of a German Shepherd Dog was lying at my feet

He looked at me with kind dark eyes ancient wisdom shining through

And in the essance of his being his love shone clear and through

His mind did lock upon my heart as I stood there that day

And he told me of this story of a place so far away

His tale did put my heart at ease my fears did fade away

About what lay ahead of me on a distant day

I live among gods creatures now in the heavens of your mind

So do not grieve for me my friend as I am with my kind

My collar is a rainbow hue my leash a shooting star

My boundries are the milky way where I sparkle from afar

There are no pens or kennels here and I am not confined

But free to roam gods heaven's among my shepherd kind

I nap the day on a snowy cloud gentle breezes rocking me

And dream dreams of earth and how it used to be

The trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound

And milk bones line the walkways just waiting to be found

And even is a ring set up the grass all lush and green

And everyone who gaits around becomes best of breed

For we are all winners in this place we have no faults you see

And god passes out those ribbons to each one even me

I drink from waters laced with gold my world a beauty to behold

And wise old dogs do form my pride to amble at my side

At night I sleep in angels arms her wings protecting me

And moonbeams dance about us as stardust falls on thee

So when your life on earth is spent and you stand at heavens gate

Have no fear of lonliness for here you know I wait.
