Hate what you are having to go through. We lost The Baby Bear back in August after 13 1/2 years. Hurts every day but what a great 13 yrs. we had. Yes it is such an unconditional love.
Hang in there and always think of those good times.

Condolences from another dog lover.
Our Samantha ("Sammi") is also a white german shepherd. Love those dogs. They all look similar to me and they're all beautiful. Per your labrador comment... she's 6 years old and spent the last 3 1/2 years of my labrador's life with him, so we call her our labrador-trained shepherd. She loves the water, playing frisbee, etc. Last year I adopted another great labrador and now he's our shepherd-trained labrador.
Many of us feel your pain and share your grief. Be well and remember the great times you shared. They are permanent.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and considerate thoughts. It’s been some rough times around here, but cancer can take life, but it can’t take love, memories and values we learn in life. So fu(k you cancer, there will come a time when you won’t take lives.

Some one sent this to me. I like to share with all of you. >>>>>
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at ...breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of
the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the
house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... in the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.
