In memory...

Drakar
Schh1, narcotics certified
12/25/96 - 9/13/07

September 13th 2007 was the hardest day Craig and I have ever had to face in our 8 years of marriage.  Craig has had Drakar since he was a 6 week old pup.  Drakar was 9 months old when I met Craig and he has been a part of our relationship for the past 10 years.  We have never known life together without him. 

Drakar was a true German Shepherd Dog in every way.  He can be best described in the words of the man that developed the breed, Captain Max von Stephanitz, "...joy in work, devotion to duty and to master, mistrust and sharpness against strange and irregular things, docility and obedience, teachableness and quickness to understand, and in addition, immunity to weather, uncommonly acute senses with gifts for retrieving and seeking..."  Drakar was a faithful and loyal companion, a fearless defender, and an honorable and respectable gentleman of a dog.  

Our hearts will hurt for a long time.  The following slideshow is a small tribute to a great dog.  We will always miss you, Drakar.
