Tasha: 1998-2011 (1 sub-gallery)

My dog, Tasha, a long-haired German Shepherd, died Nov. 25 2011. This gallery celebrates her life. She came from an animal shelter when she was four years old. She accompanied me everywhere. So, I thought it only fitting that she get a gallery of her own amongst photos of the places she liked best. She was trained to not chase any wildlife and to stay close to me. She was a wonderful, good dog and a great friend! I miss her more than I can say.

"The misery of keeping a dog is his dying so soon, but to be sure, if he lived for fifty years and then died, what would become of me?? -Sir Walter Scott

She was a beautiful dog with those intelligent soulful eyes. I can tell she was a devoted friend and she lived a good long life, as 12 is a usual lifespan. Thank you for sharing and keeping her memory alive. Voted.

You both had a better life because of your adopting this beauty. You are fortunate you have so many wonderful images to look at and remember Tasha.

Fay Stout		15-Nov-2012 21:01
In memory of your Tasha nearly a year later. It is heartbreaking. I know all too well the feeling. This is a beautiful gallery to honor Tasha. When I lost Ms. Baily Bentwhiskers, I did a book in her honor. It was healing to do and a very special way to remember her.

Tasha is a gorgeous dog! We had to have our 11 1/2 year old Black Lab euthanized a year and a half ago and it nearly broke our hearts. We haven't replaced her and probably won't, but man, do we ever miss her !! BTW, I like your choice of cameras. I 'graduated' from an SX10 to a Panasonic GH2 and like it very much.

Guest		26-Apr-2011 16:59

They don't come any more loyal, than a female German Shepperd. Beautiful pics in this gallery. We're thinking of adopting a Belgian Sheppard, but your long-haired is gorgeous too!

Hi Margaret, German Shepherds truly are exceptional dogs, and I love the long-haired (or coated) ones. My last one was the typical GSD, but with an amazing personality. I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos of Tasha. I do think she is wonderul!!

Margaret		10-Mar-2009 02:50
Beautiful, beautiful Tasha. I have ny third long-hair German shepherd (I also have the "regular" kind.) The German shepherds with long hair (coated) seem to have milder personalities. Seamus, my first long-hair and my beloved boy, loved every dog he met and would lie down to make himself look smaller when he saw a very small canine friend. He didn't want to scare them off because at 130 lbs. he looked formidable. He was just a sweetie. Wonderful breed. Margaret

Guest		19-Nov-2008 14:40
Knowing Tasha well, she is a wonderful, intelligent , calm and gentle dog who only chases sticks or rocks thrown for her, never wildlife. She is also a true beauty! claudia
