Arie is beautiful!<br /><br />I'm sure Herman was provided for; Mr. Sendak was so attached to his canine companions I can't imagine him not designating a caregiver for Herman it would be nice to find some confirmation of that fact. 2 emails I sent to the Monks at New Skete went unanswered.Barbara - Brooklyn Pet Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252174240827664674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060465083279612585.post-71838905530084161922012-06-04T16:54:16.338-04:002012-06-04T16:54:16.338-04:00I found this blog while searching for an answer to...I found this blog while searching for an answer to the exact question "anonymous" asked, as a comment on a similar post of mine asked the same question and I've been wondering myself what happened to Herman. Like you, I would think that Sendak had made provisions for him, and if not, a dog from a breeder such as Herman's is sure to still be in contact with them in one fashion or another. <br /><br />If you'd like, you can see my post on Sendak here since I mentioned it. http://bit.ly/KLHiBaKatherine of Life with Ariehttp://lifewitharie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060465083279612585.post-34091586033893092162012-05-10T21:34:58.754-04:002012-05-10T21:34:58.754-04:00Welcome aboard & thanks for "dropping by&...Welcome aboard & thanks for "dropping by", I hope you enjoy my archives & if you do, sign up to follow me.<br /><br />I loved the photo, I'm partial to Shepherds. I found the Monks' books very helpful. They have another one entitled "Divine Canine"; I'm thinking of purchasing it.<br /><br />I stopped by your site & enjoyed the few posts I read, I will definitely spend some time this weekend reading more!Barbara - Brooklyn Pet Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252174240827664674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060465083279612585.post-50963622911014827092012-05-10T21:03:24.622-04:002012-05-10T21:03:24.622-04:00I love the picture that the New York Times feature...I love the picture that the New York Times featured of him in light of his passing --- with his beloved German Shepherd sweetly nearby. I own the book that you referenced, "The Art of Raising a Puppy," but have yet to read it in its' entirety --- now I'm inspired to. <br /><br />By the way, I'm new here.

Specifically, I was concerned as to whether or not the dog had a new home to go to or would go back to the Monks. I'm sure Mr. Sendak made provisions for Herman. I did not report on this because I haven't found out anything. I will continue to check and post any information I come across.Barbara - Brooklyn Pet Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252174240827664674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060465083279612585.post-1016274435827661382012-05-09T13:12:23.795-04:002012-05-09T13:12:23.795-04:00My first thought when I heard of Sendak's pass...My first thought when I heard of Sendak's passing was, "What of his German Shepherd?" Sendak had owned several GSDs to whom he was devoted; they were bred by the Monks of New Skete. When my uncle, a career canine unit police officer, passed away leaving two GSDs, they were inconsolable. His wife reported that one ate a phone. I'd like to hear more about the fate of Mr. Sendak's companion . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
