Sam

Sam is doing well after arriving with clumps of hair falling out and weighing in at a mere 52 lbs. Several tests and a few months later, we isolated allergies to some foods and he is doing much better. His coat is now growing in much thicker and is shiny and he has begun to put on some weight. He just looks much happier and healthier. He was a quick study with what was expected of him and of minding, although counter surfing and trash snatching may always be part of his routine. If you were hungry most of your 12 months, it should have been expected. So the trash is put up, and the good thing is Sam’s dad does not leave out any food or dirty dishes anymore.

Sam has adjusted well to our two kitties and they to him. Too bad they will not play with him, as this is all he really wants. While they do not understand this, they tolerate him and keep him in line. Sam does not swim yet, but does like lying on the step in the pool to cool off. He also has his own personal doggie pool! Sam has learned to get his feet and legs dried off before running into the house, but it does prompt a quick game of tug of war with the towel when he is done. He makes sure we get our walk every morning and loves to fetch his stuffed animals – none of which he rips up or destroys. Tennis balls are not as much fun as a soft stuffy. Over all he has a wonderful, calm temperament and has endeared himself not only to us, but anyone that meets him. He truly loves people, but knows how to make them love him back with being sweet and calm. BTW… a quick nap on the sofa with Abbie watching is not bad either.
