Greta has been my friend and "watch dog" for 15 years. She found me at the local Humane Society Shelter. Things were a little rocky at first; Greta was already two years old when she came to live with me. She had apparently been mistreated.
We went through a time when she didn't quite trust me. We eventually worked it out though, and now I can't imagine life with out her. But that is the problem. I know her time is limited. I believe she is actually on borrowed time. She is like any elderly creature, with all the ailments of one who has lived a good long life...
It hurts to see her struggle through her aches and pains, but she knows she is cared for and loved. I sometimes feel I am being selfish by holding on, but she still likes to go for short walks, sit in the yard and smell the breeze, and beg the postman for a dog treats. Greta, "The Great" is my dog. She is one of a kind.
