Oh Sam how many stories I could tell. They all would be good but after almost 2 years I can still only think of one the last. As we were moving to our new house we were told by the landlord we “could NOT have pets” but I talked to him and told him your time was short and that I would keep you hidden form the other tenants he said OK so we move in on Dec 15 2000, 10 days before Christmas.
Everything was ok for a few days even thou you had lost your sight but were still active. Until Christmas eve you had lost almost all of your bodily controls we called the vet she said to watch you closely we did when I got up christmas morning I went to check on you; looked at you, you just laid there. I screamed for Daddy he came running and you jumped I think you were trying to cross the bridge of life.
We got our selves together and woke the kids had Christmas you were never far from my side we went to pawpaws I took you too. The day was finally at an end; the kids settled into bed. I went to bed. You we tucked into your bed we all dozed then you started to yelp. I went to you. As I tried to touch you, you would yelp every time I touched you. I finally got a hold for the vet at 1:30am she said that there was nothing that she could do and that if you hadn’t passed by morning to bring you to the office. I said ok and held you on the couch all night the whole time telling you that I knew it was time for you to go an that I would be ok with out you. Knowing I was lying.
I held you til 7:15 AM when I laid you on the floor so I could go to the bathroom. When I came back you were gone. I guess you didn’t want to go with me holding you.
Oh my Sam how I miss you no one knows how much not even close. I was given 3 dogs last year and I gave them all away cause they are not you. I know that there will never be another you but I can dream can’t I.
