1/28/14 Our beautiful, regal, timid angel of a girl. Belinda Sue we will never forget you and your trust you had for us even after your life had been so bad. Our Belinda Sue came to us via my world of rescue, we had 5 and had no intentions on having another for our own since all our babies were of some sort of special needs. Then came the call from my vet on December 21, 2009...Debbie we have this German Shepard that was a product of a puppy mill, she was in a court case where 75 dogs were caged in an old barn for breeding purposes only. She had been rescued by an older gentleman who visited her at the shelter while she was being "held there" for evidence in the case. Sadly, he had to go to a nursing home and had brought Belinda Sue into the vet's office for a nail trim and a bath. This poor gentleman thought since he had to take her to the shelter that if she looked really good she would be adopted. She was 9 to 10 years old...A German Shepard who was so scared of everything, who never walked on the grass until she was 5 years old who when she looked at you she hunkered down in fear..NOT A CHANCE....Then comes my girls at the vet's office. Debbie, was the beginning of the phone conversation. We have a special case here. We have been treating this girl, who had all kinds of issues, by the way and her new owner has to surrender her , she is a special case could you find her a home?..Of course , working in rescue I said I would come and take pictures and place her picture with my groups...then I hear from my niece that her daughter had just lost her German Shepard and was looking for another one, being family I convinced her that a senior GSD would be her ticket...I went to the office to take pictures of her , and there she was hunkered in the corner of the kennel. I could not even tell she was a big GSD, she was in such a tight ball. I took pictures and said I would bring her to my house for a few days until after Christmas and we could get her to my niece...She walked into my house, where she immediately hid in my pantry only to go out to relieve herself and to hunker down whenever you would talk to her or pet her...that night as I sat there crying at the knowing of what she had had to endure to become such a timid and fearful dog, John looked at me and said, "you know she isn't going anywhere no one else could understand her?"...I looked back at him and said, "I know." and that was that she walked in and never walked out until the day she left this world. It took a lot of love and a lot of patience and a lot of letting her know she was safe for her to trust us...she never learned to trust others but she did trust us and came I think and can only hope by her actions ...to enjoy the last three years of her life. She lived a good life , she even learned to run and play...she loved the snow and her brothers and sisters. She loved us sooo much and gave her trust to us...which meant more than words can say. The picture at her residency stone is a picture I took of her one day as she stood "guard" over an oak tree that the wind took she stood there as if to say, to us and the others ..."stay away, something has happened and this may hurt you". She loved us so...but we learned so much from her ...she has thus far besides Old Girl been our worst case of abuse, but even still she learned to love again...I am forever grateful for her and her time with us...We have since gotten a new addition to our family, her name is Bella....Bella Sue in honor of her sister Belinda. I will always remember the day that frightened dog walked into our lives and how she grew to trust and love again...She is forever part of our hearts. 1/31/14 As all the babies lay sleeping for their midday naps..I see Bella laying on your spot, asleep , with her tongue lulled out just like you used to do. I miss you sweet girl everyday. 2/5/14 Hello precious girl, we do miss you so. I saw a beautiful dog get it's second chance yesterday and I know that each of you were rejoicing at the bridge. I miss you Belinda, you were the first GSD I ever encountered and your sweet spirit is always within my heart. Be free now run and be happy always. I love you forever more 2/8/14 Mommy has left all your Valentine's goodies, I wish you a day filled with love . We miss you Belinda Sue 2/12/14 My beautiful girl, a snowstorm is on it's way here. I remember the last big storm when you would stand in the snow and it was up to your knees. What a good time you had that day playing outside, with daddy while he shoveled a path for you guys to run in. It is funny how now when I look back I never had a thought even though you were a senior that it would be your last big snow. We miss you Belinda Sue, always and forever. 2/17/14 Mommy has left your candle for the service tonight, climb high to the tips of the rainbows to send your precious love to us. 2/20/14 Oh my precious girl tonight as I write to you I think of you and how you loved to eat.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of giving a beautiful white GSD a ride to her new home. What a beauty she was so very sweet. Then on Monday I took a beautiful Great Dane who was so skinny and so timid just like you when you first ventured into our life. BUT she made it to her second chance as well.

But Buddy will be trying to just make it through the drifts he is getting feeble my girl and soon will be joining you and the others there.
