LISSI... Story of a Christmas Hero..

Nancy, Just checking in with you. I hope you had a great holiday and found some down time to just relax.

Thought you might enjoy hearing about our little Christmas adventure when Lissi saved the day (night, actually). I have had a house full for the holiday: my kids, their friends, our friends, extended family etc. It was great fun, but definitely hustle bustle as everyone pitched in and enjoyed meals and holiday activities.

One night it was wild and crazy with many extra people and we were all up late. Even the pets were tired from all of the extra playing and petting. I finally managed to head to bed at nearly 1 AM, settled Lissi on her bed and with relief started to drift off. Lissi started pacing, whining and putting her paws on the bed. I crawled out of bed to take her out for a potty run. She went and we returned to the bedroom. After I settled in, she started the whining again. This was unusual as she normally goes right to sleep. I thought she must be excited from all of the extra company. I waited a while and she got more frantic whining and putting her front paws on me. I decided she must need to go out again, so I got up, put a coat over my robe and took her out. She kept pulling me to an area at the far edge of the lawn where there is an interface with the "natural" vegetation along the river. She would not stop pulling me which is also unusual. She took me to a place where someone who was no doubt helping with chores had dumped fireplace coals next to a dead tree. Yep, it was on fire. As you know, it has been really dry and all of the surrounding grass and bushes were very dry. It could have been bad. Thanks to Lissi's insistence, I was able to grab a hose and douse it before it got out of hand. After I drained the hoses and crawled back into bed, Lissi snuggled into bed and went right to sleep. Good dog!

Have a peak at our Puppies Page

If you have found us in your search for a GSD puppy or adult, please do your research and know that the German Shepherd is a working breed. Their foundation is in herding, but German Shepherds make excellent companions and fit well into many family situations and lifestyles. However, because of their intelligence, stamina, drive, and overall desire to work, they are not the dog for everyone. A correct German Shepherd dog is lively, outgoing, spirited, and strong. Our dogs meet the standard for correct temperament of the GSD, and they need full lives, with challenges, socialization, activity, and companionship.

Please read this article, The Elements of Temperament, by Joy Tiz, as a way of furthering your understanding
of this exceptional breed.

Have a look around, enjoy your stay, and please come back often. Remember to bookmark our website address http://www.zederkamme.com
