My Best Friend Sheena

by John
(England)

10 years ago I bought a german shepherd that was not wanted by her owners. They could not get shut of her fast enough. From the first night I brought her home, she became my best friend, and she came everywhere with me.

The last few months she was slowing down on our daily walks, and in July she started to have a few fits. Then, the 25 of July 2011 was the day I had dreaded. I had to take her to the vets and have her put to sleep.

My heart was and is broken.
