My German Shepard was a freak of nature, she was a little over 18 years old
Had her since I was 1, deff the best dog and best friend any kid could ask for throughout their lives. That dog damn near acted like my mother, one of the hardest things ever in my life was bringing her to the vet after we found her out back and she was gone. Funny thing was it was like she was waiting for me, I came home from work, got out of my car and heard her barking for me, went back and petted her told her i’d be down after my shower, shortly after my dad came running upstairs telling me something was wrong with her, when we got down she had passed.
Even up until she passed though she was full of life, you could tell in the morning her hips were bugging her but she had no problem playing around a bit and following you around wherever you went.
