Sarah Says: A Tribute to a Perfect Peppy!

As the saying goes, a dog is man's best friend... and to a large extent this is true. Dogs are by far extremely loyal and have a sixth sense when something is wrong. They love without judgment, get excited when you are excited and know how to put on a mean front in the face of danger. My Peppy was no exception. While she was a little goofy, loved to chase us down the road and didn't listen to the word No when she thought she should be joining us for the car ride, she was a pretty amazing dog! She absolutely loved being around us, especially my brother Mike. Those two just had a connection. She slept in his room, tug along with him to mow our neighbor's grass and really just loved Mike. She loved us all and got really excited when we pulled in the drive way, but to this day, if she had to choose between a chunk of ham (which she would not chew before swallowing like a polite doggie) or one of us...I don't know which one she'd pick, but my bet is the ham! Peppy went gaga over ham and so, when we found out that she was dying of a terminal illness (cancer or kidney failure from lymes), we bought her her very own ham...and when we still couldn't let her go...we bought her another ham... We just bought her ham and loved on her until she let go. She was our sweet, huge, totally lovable German Sheppard! We will forever love her and remember her with a smile!

Peppy is in doggie heaven eating ham and lovin the outdoors and her spot in the living room!

In no special order...
