Here is a bit about Annie. She was 15 years old when she passed this last spring. Annie was a very faithful dog, she loved to chase barn swallow birds with Hanz, our other German Shepard. He had passed before her. These 2 dogs were Dave's babies. When we adopted our 3 grandchildren with disabilities it was like Annie knew and wherever those 3 kids were, she was. Later in life Annie got very mellow and we even laughed when she shared her food with a squirrel one day and never chased away the cats anymore outside. The dog loved hiding her toys and raw-hides everywhere, outside and inside. The day of her passing she was in our bedroom and Ralph our little Shih Tzu mix went up to her and laid by her...so moving and after that time he has helped watch over the little kids and Dave more. Annie I think, asked Ralph to look after her family.
