Sadly, dad had to say goodbye to his German shepherd, Dave, last week. Poor guy was 10, and his legs and hips had totally given up over the last 5/6 months. He had a great life though, but dad is really missing him. Spoken to him three times since last Tuesday when he was put to sleep, and he’s cried everytime. Anyway, here’s a couple of Dave, RIP fella.


It's probably normal for some dogs, but 10 years seems a short time to me. We've had Fraggle for 8 years now - we think she was 2 when we got her from the rescue centre - and I hope she has many years left.
As I understand it, and I’m no expert, A decent life expectancy for a German shepherd is around 10-12 years. They are quite well know to have hip and leg problems. I think Dave was around 10 years and 8 months. He started going down hill around October, and whilst he could have been operated on, it came with risks from the anaesthetic. Dad chose to go down the route of massage therapy. It got to the point where Dave couldn’t take himself outside so they knew it was time to say goodbye. Agree, hopefully Fraggle has plenty more years to go.

On a happier note, here’s our boy Rudy, enjoying some sun last weekend, up the park with the ball.
