Parting seems to be the hardest part...

I hate this. My 12 year old German Shephard, Jasper, is going to be put down this weekend. I'm not going to go into the painful and ugly reasons why. It is the right thing to do for him and my family. But it is SO very hard to do, and it takes SUCH a long time to heal after that, I am really not looking forward to this weekend at all (DUH).

Guess I just 'publicly' want to acknowledge that he has been the best dog. E.V.E.R. And I know for a fact that he has kept my family and home safe on many occassions when there was a real threat. For that I will always be grateful.

We have tried to be the best pet owners we could. I think he had a pretty good life and I think he would agree with that. He will always hold a very special place in my heart, right along with Trixie, Sham, Sandy, Taffy, and Pokey. God, I'm a sucker for a fuzzy face!
