Add Comment

When a civilian breaks the law, they typically A. get their punishment, B. get off scot-free because they’ve got money and power or a doofy jury, or C. get screwed by a lousy lawyer and end up in prison for a crime they didn’t commit. But when an officer breaks a law, it can often go by ignored, or at least unpunished—a rather Orwellian fact that we shouldn’t tolerate as a whole.

So the “very experienced officer” who handled two German Shepherd dogs and left them to die in his car on what’s so far been the hottest day of the year should be prosecuted under the full extent of the law.

Add Comment

Though our home is big enough for our cats, it just wouldn’t be fair to confine a dog to it—much to the dismay of our little girl. Someday, when we have enough land to roam around on, we would love to get a great family dog to expand our little ragtag team.

As a kid, I had a Labrador who seemed to embody all of these qualities—as well as a couple of beagles who sort of did, too; but I think our next dog may end up being a handsome German Shepherd.

My German Shepard & Her Sparrow Best Friend

Add Comment

I proudly owned a full German line Shepard named Susie for twelve magnificent years until cancer claimed her happy life. But what she gave to me and how much joy that she brought me, I will never forget. She was an unusual dog, extremely intelligent and a problem solver, to say the least. But she had this odd fascination with birds. She loved to chase them and hunt them, as many canines do, and she would catch them all of the time.
