Perhaps a bit more exercise gets everything limbered up, muscle tone improves. I hope it lasts. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

I know that you are taking each day that Freya gives you as the gift that they are... My little black dog Shyner gifted us with 3 extra months, and I am forever grateful. They were a good 3 months filled with what Shyner loved most- snuggling. She left us March 19th, and I miss her still. There are some smiles now, between the tears... Kisses to your Not So Little Black Dog. And hugs to you for all you do for her to make these extra days just a special for her as they are for you. --Kel

Freya went to sleep. 15 years is a long time for a GSD. I thought she would be gone last February, so each day was the more special. Her spirit was willing but... Ah well... Took her to the cabin to be with the others who went before her. A good and loyal companion these many years. Much to be grateful for. Many good memories. She never complained. Mike A.

I echo Cheri's thought that it's the hardest (but probably the kindest) thing we do when we release the dear companion from the suffering body. Many good memories ..... a life to celebrate.

A good and happy life's work done, so rest in the sun at the Bridge now special girl.
