The day after Christmas i had to have my German Shepherd Sasha put down, it was a very sad day for me, and have been through this many times but it never gets any easier. I also never let the sadness keep me from the joy of a new companion, i will picking this guy up on the 7th of this month. He will be 8 wks. old, and i am looking forward to the puppy stage once again. He is a Labradoodle.
