My dog Shadow was such an active puppy. He was such a good dog and for some reason loved to bark at shadows, which is how he got his name. He also loved to bite necks. He did not bite them hard, but I believe that was his way of saying “Play with me!”. As Shadow grew older he loved to play hide and go seek with me. Basically I would hide and he would have to find me. He loved it because he would run around the entire house sniffing in every corner, but he would never give up until he found me. Shadow left me when he was 17 years old. He was very skinny and very sick. He was no longer able to play hide and go seek or bark at shadows because it hurt him too much. It got to the point where I was deciding to put him to sleep because I did not want to see him suffer anymore, but he died before it happened. I was very happy that he died on his own because it allowed me to get over his death alot easier.

 

Love always and forever
