German Shepherd Adoption

Have a look at this internet site about German Shepherd adoption in California. And this similar site in South Africa. Thank you to those people all over the world who care enough to set up and maintain the German Shepherd adoption sites - some of these humans do care very much  about our fellow German Shepherds going through rough times.
Put into Google the words: "German Shepherd adoption" (leave out the " ")  and prepare to be moved emotionally. I won't admit it to Patricia and John but I nearly cried when I read some of the pleas for adoption.
All the best

Indy the German Shepherd advises us to be Grateful for Each Day

Did you see the video of my first visit to the Kromme River in Africa. Wow -  I enjoyed myself: running free; splashing; paddling; swimming. I lived life to the full that day. What a lesson for us German Shepherds and everyone.

When John and Patricia are not on the computer I like to surf myself. There is plenty on the web about how important it is to live each day to the full.

Do you know the very short poem "Look to this day" by Kalidasa.  Here is a link to it. The insights in the poem can be life changing. John read it at Jennifer and Willem's wedding (Jennifer is John and Patricia's daughter). If you are reading the poem for the first time I guarantee you will remember it for the rest of your life.

Have a look at this video where Louis Schwartzberg, a famous photographer, explains with beautiful pictures why we should be grateful for each day.



Surprised? We German Shepherds think about much more than our next meal!

Tess in San Francisco?

This brought a lump to my throat. Is it Tess?
John and Patricia's son Andrew (lives in Maryland)  took this picture of his brother Mark (lives in SFO) with a ridgeback on the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco yesterday.
John tells me the beautiful dog is the split image of Tess. Perhaps it was her?

Below is a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge also taken by Andrew. Is that the beginning of a rainbow above the bridge?

What a beautiful place.
