Our Family had an Airedale, Samson, for almost 15 1/2 years! Konrad was the who always schmoozed with Samson, took him for walks and played with Samson when he was in the mood. Even when Konrad was not home, Samson would sneak up & lay on Konrad's bed. Stinker! When it came time to let Samson go, Konrad went with me to the Vet and we spent the last few hours with him :( It was very hard to lose a part of our Family. I am eternally grateful that Konrad was with me! His Mother has 2 cats Petey & Nyne & is very affectionate with them. His Brothers and Cat, Stevie, are at my house & Stevie always runs to see Konrad & they play for a while. With his love of animals, Konrad would be a great Pet sitter! Herb O., his Father
