This is Ava. She went over the rainbow bridge Friday night.

I’ve always wanted ever since I was little to have a German shepherd. Ava was my first dog. Spending the last 8 years with her I think she spoiled ever having another dog. She was so beautiful, smart, and loving. It doesn’t feel real. I don’t think it ever will. Less than 24 hours from her normal self to just being a shell and us having to make the hardest decision I think I will ever have to make in my life. I knew this day had to come some time, I just thought I would have more time to prepare. I will never forget her. You made the last 8 years the best of my life, thank you Ava.
