I babysat a German Shepherd once - a very intelligent old girl who has since gone to her reward. Casey was a gem to watch, very ladylike, very easy to handle - until there was a thunderstorm!

First, she woke me up with a whimper that I'm sure said, "The world's coming to an end!!!" in dog. I tried to get her in bed with me. No. Went to living room, tried to cuddle with her there. No. Went back to bed, but kept one arm out to pet her. No. Neither Casey nor I slept that night - we watched dvds until she finally went to sleep - 15 minutes before I had to get up!

But it was fun. I wrote a "diary" that she kept while her family was away, and they loved it!
