Lovely post Leslie :) ; reminded me of Fidel's Boomer who passed away last year.<BR/><BR/>I never really knew dogs until I met Boomer (a German Shepherd and a trained SAR dog ). He was such a friendly dog.. one of those "his bark is worse than his bite" types.<BR/><BR/>He'd chase squirrels to play with them. Heck - on our honeymoon( we took him with us) we saw the elephant seals near Carmel CA & all Boomer wanted to do was go play with them. <BR/><BR/>We both miss him. We talk often about getting another dog & I'd like to get another German Shepherd. I'd also like to learn how to be a SAR dog handler.<BR/><BR/>Yes - I agree will all.. a lovely tribute Leslie.MedStudentWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880210553933529491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-39156596820323938482008-01-17T15:50:00.000-08:002008-01-17T15:50:00.000-08:00Leslie, I'm glad I stopped by today.

She was jet black, part pit, lab and whatever. She had the most awesome personality. We all took turns keeping her while my son did what he needed to do. When she dropped dead in his arms we all grieved. He now has a huge shepherd. Apollo is a big baby, kind of goofy. But not Kacie.<BR/><BR/>I miss my Pomeranian.

We had another boxer before Star, but she had a bad heart and we had to put her down when she was only 2. Then dear little Robbie (named after Robbie Burns because we brought him home on Jan.25 and his freckles made him look sort of Scottish) was good until he was about 18 months old and turned alpha. I tried him with obedience training and did everything I could to make him understand that I was the boss. But he bit too many people, including me twice putting me in the hospital, so sad to say he had to go to that big doghouse in the sky when he was 3 1/2 years old. I'd like another some day, but not until I'm too old to travel - that is my passion for now.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-36802191655436222692008-01-16T23:26:00.000-08:002008-01-16T23:26:00.000-08:00Lovely tribute to a beautiful dog Leslie. Our dog...Lovely tribute to a beautiful dog Leslie. Our dogs are so precious to us.<BR/>One of the hardest thing I have ever had to do was hold my beloved Cleo, my avatar, when the vet put her down. She was just full of cancer and never complained so we never knew until too late. <BR/>I've had four dogs in my lifetime but she was the best and she loved other dogs, so she did not mind going to the kennel at all. We had a very good one way out in Surrey. Dog obedience was the highlight of her life but she was so stubborn she failed the first time and had to repeat. <BR/>I'd love to have another dog but the "old scientist" says no.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-80876261847704167632008-01-16T23:18:00.000-08:002008-01-16T23:18:00.000-08:00Strewth Leslie, I am bawling my eyes out, but in m...Strewth Leslie, I am bawling my eyes out, but in more happiness for the life and love that all of you had for Star, and Star for all of you.<BR/><BR/>The pictures are so beautiful...the ending was hard mate, and I'm bawling fresh again....I am a goner when it comes to kids and animals.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful tribute.<BR/><BR/>PamSiennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387267690900119245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-74867822093829071302008-01-16T19:37:00.000-08:002008-01-16T19:37:00.000-08:00What a touching tribute to what must have been a v...What a touching tribute to what must have been a very special pet. Our dog is getting on in age and I shudder to thin of how the family will be when she departs from us. We have had her for many many years. I have created a DVD to three songs with photos and videos to give to my kids the day that our dog named Sweetie passes away. A tribute to a wonderful dog.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this story with us. :-)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371849934851785096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-51864260079084090962008-01-16T14:14:00.000-08:002008-01-16T14:14:00.000-08:00Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone.

Star Sapphire sounds as if she was a wonderful friend and companion. We lost our dog Alice 2-1/2 years ago at age 11 and I know how hard it is to lose them. <BR/><BR/>Our "new" dog, Diva is a rescued pit bull (not in the least bit vicious - she might lick your face off though!) and she is now a great member of our family.

It's amazing how such large dogs (like Star and my Harvey) who have the potential to do great damage, can be so sweet-natured and gentle. They are a blessing to us.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
