Title: In memory of Syra: my own German Shepherd
Post by: LauSim on April 08, 2007, 05:00:34 pm
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 :D .

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.

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.

Thank you, guys. Your words moved me to tears.

Several days passed, but still I walk around home searching her where she used to squat and from where she looked at you with her deep dark eyes, that were fading to blindness because of her old age. And still we preserve steak bones for her: "That's for Syra... oh, damn, Syra isn't here anymore".

It won't be easy to realize that she'll be no more there, on the top of the stairs, raising her ears every now and then, and coming to me when I come back home, welcoming me with her cries and whinies.

But it's not the first time I lose a dog. And it's losing more than a friend. It's losing a family member, as someone said. A family member who loves you unconditionally, who gives you everything, without asking nothing back.

It will pass. I know time will heal, leaving a big scar inside. But time will heal. And nice memories is what will be left, while she rests forever in our garden, where she loved to run.

Take care of her.
