Hey yeah, Flame's dad is half German Shepherd (dunno the other half) and her mum is half Belgian Shepherd and half Collie - nicely spotted :D.

the way I weave my words is very impactful.

Right on sister, I could feel those feelings of loss your words expressed. Tough on you and the kids!

Flame keeps telling me that Dawgs perceive life and death differently from most humans and that they are always around - that we can still feel their energy even after they are 'gone'.
