Lets talk dogs

German Shepherds

6/27/20251 min read

I have always been partial to German Shepherds owning several in my life. I don't think that I would begin an adventure without one, think Terminator. Remeber they used GS to spot Terminator danger the funny thing is it really works just like that.

Picture taking a break in the woods maybe laying down a blanket to shut your eyes for a while and Freda desides to take a nap with you. Sound asleep maybe having those runner leg puppy dreams when out of nowhere she wakes up and alerts to somewhere in the forest. You look but don't see anything, next she gets up still on alert but still focused. At this point you make out a bear faintly maybe 100 yards out walking by but no need to worry Dufus has your back.

All GS have thier own personality and my nickname for mine is Dufus, you can probably piece together the rest. Unfortunately Dufus is around 10 and now that I am 70 do I get a replacement GS or a smaller travel companion. For me owning a dog is a lifetime commitment and eventually I have to face reality and check into a home when the Arthritis reaches a certain point and I don't believe they are big dog friendly.

A brief word on GS, I have always viewed my companion as a loaded gun. GS are sight hunters and very loyal requiring a constant effort on your part to socialize them for thier protection. I don't socialize my dogs so I have to be careful, Dufus is different and loves everyone including cats which tends to confuse most cats. See if you can spot which GS is Dufus 😊
