How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
Meisha is a very special German Shepherd. She is not a dog, she is a huge part of our family. We've never had to train her to do anything. Meisha does everything purely out of love. Being adopted from a shelter at the age of 9 months, she's been given so much love as an important member of the family She has returned that love tenfold. She has protected us, our home & property, guards my grandchildren, & the puppies I foster, she watches over them as if they were her own. Though she is going on 13 years old, thru all of the years, she has never let us down. She is loving, loyal, unselfish, smart, & just these mere words cannot express how wonderful she is, nor would any words be able to express our grief & sadness when she passes on to Rainbow Bridge. For truly there could never be another girl like our Meisha. She has given so much to us, my family would fall apart without her. The puppies I foster, think of her as a mother. The picture I have submitted is that of a foster I have had only 2 days and Meisha accepts Roxi's kisses gladly. When you give love, you get love & that is exactly what "Life is getting better is". For never, ever, having to train Meisha, is extrodinary. She is perfect. Life got better when Meisha came into our lives. It won't be the same without her.
