In Loving Memory
Jerry Lee Wolf
Born 4 June 2001 - Died 10 January 2009
Jerry Lee Wolf was my faithful and co-dependant pal for 6 years. We traveled all over the central US, from Wisconsin all the way to Colorado. Jerry was givin to me by my CHL instructor Bob Kissling through another dog training guy named Ron Groth. Jerry was imported from Germany, although I never found out from what city. He was Sch1 certified and trained in german. He loved mulching 2x4 lumber and could reduce a 12" piece of 2x4 to a pile of touthpicks in just a few hours. He could play "guard the Kong" for days on end if he got several 20min breaks. He was the brightest, funniest shepherd I have ever met. He got along with all dogs he ever encountered and loved to hunt. One of his weirdest quirks was his dislike of hardwood floors or shiney tile like you see at PetsMart. He was the biggest baddest wolf around, on his side of the chain link fence. Once the gate was opened, all that dissapeered. I used to say he wasn't part timber wolf, he was part timid wolf. Wherever I went, he went. He *loved* riding in the truck and would get all excited when he saw me packing it up and putting the moving blankets in the back seat for him to lay on. He was so spoiled, getting a long walk every night around the neighborhood. He was on verbal recall, and would return to a heal even if he was in hot pursuit of a small furry creature of some sort. I could spend hours laying on the floor with him playing the "tap the paw game" where I used alternating hands to touch his left and right paws. He was try and bite each hand as I alternated. You could get lost in his deep beutiful, brown, soulful eyes forever. I would take him to Field Day in June every year and he would be the hit of the show. Everybody loved him. He died next me me in his sleep after suffering trauma in his hind quarters in a freak accident at the RL Ranch down in Hamilton, Tx. I miss him more than anything and the house is errily quiet without him.
May you rest in eternal peace Jerry Lee. You will always be in my heart and soul.
