bit the wrong person?
CNN did a story about this a little while ago. When it was over Jim Acosta had a solemn face as he said, “He was a good dog.” I talked back to the TV, “Not as good as you, Jim.”
For a small dog, no; but, larger dogs don't usually last as long as smaller dogs. Don't know why, just know that really big dogs (Irish Wolfhound types) don't really have a long life. I saw a Animal Planet on one of those dogs and was shocked to find they have a lifespan of about 5-7 years. A German Shepherd is not that large; but, I would think they would also have a shorter lifespan than a toy poodle.
It is amazing what dogs contribute. GOD IS INDEED GOOD.
I apologize for trash-talking a Good Boy. :(
Remember. Deaths in families almost always come in threes.
Poor dogs can’t help it if they have evil owners.
I know you meant no disrespect to the dog.

When I was too young for such things, my dad had me take his Brittany, Duke, to the needle because he “couldn’t bear to do it”.
Scarred me for life because the vet effed it up and Duke screamed and thrashed around.
That was hell for a young dog-loving kid.
I’ve had the sorrow of it with 3 other dogs and only one of them, Pookie the Ibizan Hound, was a thing of “joy”.
She had degenerative myelopathy and I carried her 90 pound butt outside to potty for almost a year, after it rendered her unable to walk very well, but she was otherwise happy to lounge around and be spoiled rotten, literally waited on hand and paw.
Every day I asked her “Today the day, Pook?” and she’d thump her tail and “chuckle”, smiling and I knew the answer was “No” and that went on every day until that day she didn’t chuckle or smile.
The vet came to the house and he started to do it and she was just gone.
I felt her “fly” out of her body and I told him “She’s gone” and he said it was impossible because he hadn’t even given her much sedative yet.
He checked her several times and she was indeed gone.
I was crying HARD but it was happy tears.
I felt her fly out of her useless body and I knew where she was going, to be with her beloved sister and constant companion, Phoebe, who had passed 7 months before.
I felt her happiness and freedom and joy and that she was running to Phoebe.
I know that makes me sound like a right lunatic but it is what it is and was as real as real ever gets.
They DO go somewhere.
The other two needle stories, I do not want to talk about.
And I look over at a noise just now, and my Dobe Boy is lazily gnawing a soup bone he must’ve found in his toy box and I swear, I would give 10 years of my life if only it would buy 10 more years for him.
:’(
We do not deserve dogs but God, in His infinite mercy, gave them to us, anyway.
Wonder if he had to take many "showers" with Joe the Pervert?
What a garbage thing to say,
If Champ was a black Labrador it would explain a lot.
