My German Shepherd passed away last night. He was a great mild mannered dog that loved people. He will be missed greatly. I came home yesterday from work and his belly was bloated and he wouldn't eat. He looked as if he know he was on his way out. He'd just stand and look not wanting to move much. I let him out of hie pin for a little awhile and he just stood on the back porch looking out over the yard for a few hours. I then but him back in he pin and check on him a few hours latter and he was just leaning up on the fence. I guess his belly was hurting him and he didn't want to lay down. When I got up this morning he was gone. Damn I gonna miss this dog. His off to Rainbow Bridge or maybe up to see my pop that only got to see him once before he passed. Hyde was his name he would have been 12 years old in April. I have one of his daughters to carry on his namesake, Ol boy you'll never be replaced in my mind or heart by another but there will be others for you was a wonderful animal and better than most humans I know. I'll see you up above one day and will go for a ride in the old truck. Bye buddy I love you.
