Min. Wire Haired Dachshund
I got Sammie when he was only 4 months old.
He was so tiny and just so happy and playful that I had to have him.
I was so worried about his happiness that I didn’t think he
liked me at first and it wasn’t until the second time that I held him
that I realized we were meant for each other.
As soon as I took him out in the parking lot he started doing tailspins
because he knew that he had been adopted and found
his true mommie. He was so small that I was worried I would roll over
on him in bed and crush him. We became very dear companions and
due to his size I was able to take him many places.
I even snuck him into an ice hockey game. He was so dear & I realized that
I had something so special that words nor emotion could even describe.
He would sleep on my face just so he could have his nose
next to mine so he could hear & feel my breathing as I could his.
He would constantly kiss me was such a pleasure and an ultra special
presence whenever around any body.
The whole neighborhood grew to love him because I swear he was
the cutest dog anyone has ever seen in their entire life.
He was just utterly handsome and so little and sooo irresistibly adorable.
My little Sammie was a part of me and a reflection of me and I cherished
every moment I had with him.
I took him on bike rides with me while he was in my backpack…
he loved it as the air went through his hair and he could enjoy seeing
life as it was happening. He loved every single person he met
and every single dog. He was just absolutely amazing.
And the kindness he gave me was just indescribable.
I lost him @ the tender age of 2 years & 3 months.
Sammie was born with a condition of a congenital liver shunt.
He was taken to the Univ. of Penna. and was having cluster seizures.
I attempted with all my might & with all the University’s might to save his life
& unfortunately he slipped into a coma and while feeling his heartbeat,
which I did so many times before but never in this manner,
had to put him to sleep. I cried for 2 weeks straight because
of such innocence love and warmness lost.
I will never ever forget my little man my handsome little Sammie.
He was truly awesome.
I love you Sammie & I promise we will meet again handsome
I so promise that to you.
