Before I met Alyson, my dog was my best friend... Kiara was being trained for Search and Rescue and was VERY good..(all before 9-11) Kiara took up most of my free time. Well when I met Alyson she obviously had my attention more than a dog!! Sadly Kiara died and I lost interest in SAR. ALyson was my new best friend and even through the cancer we had many great times. Well about 2 weeks before Alyson died we spoke about my future alone, and how i was gonna cope losing her. She said, "before you met me you had a great dog... and now before i leave i want you to get another great dog and make me proud! train him to do good things!" I thought that was great and something to keep me from getting depressed. So I searched around for real German bloodline shepherds and went to see the litter. I had the pic of the litter at 8 weeks and was very happy! I brought the pup home and showed him to ALyson... she always loved puppies and we would go to the puppy stores and she would play with them. Well she named him max, and told me to take care of him. At that point she was too sick to play with him but she petted him and cuddled him in her bed.
I uploaded a new pic of max at Alyson's garden.
