In memory of Syra: my own German Shepherd

[LauSim]

Hi.

This is the first time ever I upload a dog breed. Well, actually this is the first time ever I upload something on Insimenator.net .

This dog is inspired by my beloved 4-legs-friend Syra, who passed away few days ago (may she rest in peace). The spreading of colors on the coat tries to reproduce Syra's hair colors.

Well, as many German Shepherds lovers, I was not satisfied with the Maxis German Shepherd.

In my humble opinion, the wrong thing was not much in the shape of the dog body, that needed only few adjustments (a little less wolf, and a bit more dog). The wrong thing was in the mix of colors.

Maxis German Shepherd has a base of cream coloured hair, with some spreads of black.

The real German Shepherd has a base of white hair (that is evident especially on the dog belly), that turns to cream, and shades into a sort of red brown, with huge spreads of black hair, especially upon the dog back and on its muzzle.

So it was not easy to reproduce this particular and unique mix of colors with Maxis tools. I think I got a good result, but I'm not completely satisfied.

I hope you'll enjoy this, and could this dog be a good life companion for your sims, as Syra was for me.

I am sorry to hear about your loss.  As an animal lover myself I understand to lose your beloved pet is to lose a family member.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Thank you for sharing Syra with us.

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog... it can be so tough to lose a pet. But the sim version is very cute.

You never, really, loose your dog when it dies.  With most, if they were truly loyal to you, their spirit sticks by you and protects you, and some actually say that they feel that their beloved four-legged pals are still there with them, helping them through the tough times, and giving them inspiration and the will to go on another day.  This may sound silly, but, every now and then I feel like one of the dogs I had, that passed, is still watching me somehow.  My condolences for your loss.  Be brave and sooner or later, you may have another surprise bound into your life, one that is just as special as Syra, but is really her way of saying that she is still there, because she sent a protector your way to help you along until you meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.  I'm sorry if this sounds long-winded, but I just wanted to give you some hope that you'll soon be joined by another four-legged bundle of craziness.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I know how much it hurts to lose a pet, I've been crying so many tears for my passed loved ones. Your sim-Syra looks really good and shepherd-like, I'm definately going to download her to my game .

Syra is sooo cute. I`m sorry about your dear dog Syra. It is hard to loose a pet because it belongs to the family as a familymember. You have done a really good job on making Syra. Thanks for sharing. I download now.
Best regards.
