MY PRECIOUS SAMMY BOY

 My precious Sammy Boy. I miss you so much. You are everywhere I go, everywhere I look.


 
You have been beside me for almost 16 years and I dont know how I will do the rest of this life without you. Theres not words enough to say how much this hurts. Heartbroken, sad, depressing, tears, lots of tears, my life will never ever be the same. 

You have been with me through so much, good times and bad. You have always been incredibly loyal and my best friend. When I decided to find you, I looked a long time before I said he's the one. I flew you from South Dakota to Tampa when you turned 9 weeks. I had to wait weeks to get you.  The lady that had you thought  I was crazy because every week I would ask her to photograph you from all sides on a newspaper with the date showing.


       I knew I wanted you and wanted to make sure you weren't mixed up or if something had happened to you before I could get you, that another puppy would be send instead. I didn't want another puppy, I wanted you. That first second I saw you, curled up in the back of that cage, scared, I couldn't get that cage opened quick enough. The second I held you, I loved

          


 you. All I wanted was to make you feel safe.  You were so precious. I knew I was meant to be your mom.

 I took you home and the next morning we were off to the vet to have you checked over.  You had a clean bill of health and off to South Carolina we went for work. From that day on you traveled everywhere with me.  You have seen and done more than most people have. 

We have been best friends ever since.    You have been one of the greatest gifts of my life. You have done more and seen more than most other dogs. You have flown all over the states with me, traveled everywhere with me, you have been on boats and slept in more hotels than most people have. You have played in oceans, lakes, creeks and ponds. You were the perfect travel companion.

  One of your favorite places was the airport.  You would prance through it like you owned it. You were so happy. You would jump on and off the escalators like a pro.  Everyone would look at you and smile when you would walk on the plane and get your spot under the seat. You knew exactly what to do. You would wait for me to put your blanket down, then you would get on it and sleep until we landed. You were the most amazing little guy.  

 You loved riding the elevators in the hotels, you loved traveling with me and my knee was your pillow in the car. I can't tell you how much I miss you being there..

. I loved taking you to the beach. You loved it. You were so cute. You would play at the waters edge, get all wet, then rub all over in the sand. You were my little mess. 



I taught you how to be the perfect little gentleman when we entered restaurants, airplanes, malls, stores, casinos, and zoos. You went everywhere I went. You made many friends everywhere you went. 

One of your favorite things to do was ride the Harley. Your dad would start that bike up and you would go crazy barking until he took off with you. You wore your harley hat and sunglasses so proud. You looked adorable in them.


Everywhere we went, people were taking pictures of you. I do believe you are the most photographed dog in all of Houston. 

Another one of your favorite things was going to the movies.

 
 You always had to have your popcorn and would lie in the chair and watch the movie with us. 


You loved going to Hooters every year for your birthday. The girls always loved you and would sing happy birthday to you.


 






  Once they put you on a stool in the middle of Hooters during a ballgame and had everyone help sing Happy Birthday to you. You were always so special wherever you were.  

 


  We had so many awesome, fun adventures and life was great. After a few years, Cody found us.We were only going to adopt him if you accepted him. I didn't think you

would at all, but you surprised everyone. Cody became your buddy and a member of our family. He slid into our hearts and then we were a foursome.  Cody loved his new life.  His favorite thing to do was eat. anything, everything.  He loved traveling and doing all he things we did. He did not want to be left behind.  He became your dads best friend also.  So while my heart was exploding with happiness, I still wanted one more puppy. So we found Chaos, He was the same size as you and Cody when we brought him home




 And because of that, he never realized how much bigger he was. Our family was now complete.  We were a family of five.  

You loved going for walks so once Chaos cam into the picture, your dad insisted we take you boys out every night after 9 so you could run, sniff and play with no leash. Dad said he wanted you to be real dogs with no leash and you were, almost every night. No rush, sniff as long as you want, just be a dog.We always ended our walks with frisbee for Chaos. It was his favorite things to do. 



That and swim. Boy, those were the days. You boys had the best dog dad ever. He loved you all so much. He now misses you all so much.

When we were at home, it was very plain to see, you were the big dog, the boss.  Chaos and Cody both knew it.

Here you go Laci. :) Sammy is not in the mood to play lolLenetta:


 It was so funny to watch you scare the monster, Chaos.  He was so big but he didn't buck you.  You had your favorite chair, you had it from the first day I got you and it has been your chair for 16 years. You sweet dad even made you a name tag and put it on your chair. You would not allow Chaos to get near it ever.  But you did allow Cody to get under it with you. I loved the days where Chaos would aggravate you and pounce at you and Cody under your chair. You would growl and snarl at him. it was so funny to watch. 

If someone had told us we would lose all 3 of our boys within a years time, I would never have believed them.

But we did and it's been such a struggle for your dad and I. We cant begin to tell you how much we miss you everyday. We love you Sammy Boy. We love you  Chaos. We love you Cody.

  love you my precious Sammy Boy. Thank you for coming into my life. I have loved you all of your life, now I’ll miss you the rest of mine. I cant wait to get to that rainbow bridge and have you in my arms again. Sayng good bye to you even for a day has always been hard for me. I miss you so much so saying good-bye this time, I dont know how to do it. I just dont know how to do this. This is one of the hardest things I will ever do in my lifetime. I dont want to look beside me anywhere and you not be there looking at me with eyes of love. 




 You may only be 15 pounds but you have had the biggest impact on my life. How do you say good bye to your best friend. I dont know how. I have done more crying and praying over the last few weeks.  I have had so many people tell me  I needed  to prepare for losing you but how do I  prepare for the loss of a big part of my heart, It will never be full again, it will ache forever. I so much want to believe in that rainbow bridge. I want to believe there will be pets in heaven. I do believe dogs will definitely be in heaven. God loved you enough to give you his name backwards. Pretty darn special. DOG-GOD. Think that says it all. You’ll be there. I cant wait to get there to see you and hold you again.

Sweet boy, I love you. 


 


Can't wait to see you again
 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We love you and miss you forever

This Weeks To Do List!

Last week was a super catch up week. Got so much finished and caught up. It was really hard to stay on track, as I had so much planned for each day.

 I finished everything on my list, which was awesome!

So this week, with only 4 days left, my schedule 

Day 4 Memorial Day!

First thing we did was get the bamboo by the side fence planted. We were just so tired last night.




Then I made breakfast while Don got in the pool.

He actually ate his breakfast in

Day 3 Memorial Weekend!

We went out early and cut the bamboo up. Don used his saw on it. That was a 
much bigger job than we thought it would be, 

Day 1 of 4 Memorial Weekend!

Don had a 4 day weekend so we decided to just stay home and get some stuff done that we had been wanting to do.

Friday was a great day to shop.


We went to find 2 more graceful bamboo for the middle that I had left open thinking I was

Loyal Dogs!

My Best Little Buddy-Sammy Boy!

I worry all time about my Sammy Boy. I don't know what he would do if something were to happen to me. He's incredibly loyal and I know how very sad he would be.  There us nothing more selfless, loving or patient than a dog. Then my Sammy Boy! 

This story touched me
 Loyal dog continues to attend mass at church where owner’s funeral was held
Tommy at Santa Maria Assunta church (Nikonarte Fotografia/Daily Mail)
A loyal dog whose owner died late last year has apparently been showing up for Mass every day for the last two months at the church where the funeral was held.
Tommy, a 7-year-old German shepherd, used to accompany his owner, Maria Margherita Lochi, to services at Santa Maria Assunta church in San Donaci, Italy, according to the Daily Mail, and was allowed to sit at her feet.
After Lochi died, the dog "joined mourners at her funeral service" according to locals and "followed after Maria's coffin" as it was carried into the church.
Tommy, a stray who was adopted by Lochi, has been showing up "when the bell rings out to mark the beginning of services" ever since.
"He's there every time I celebrate mass and is very well behaved," Father Donato Panna told the paper. "He doesn't make a sound."
None of the other parishioners has complained, Panna said, and villagers give the dog food and water and allow him to sleep nearby.
"I've not heard one bark from him in all the time he has been coming in," Panna added. "He waits patiently by the side of the altar and just sits there quietly. I didn't have the heart to throw him out—I've just recently lost my own dog, so I leave him there until Mass finishes and then I let him out."

Examples of this type of extreme canine loyalty are incredibly common.
In 2011, a fallen Navy SEAL's Labrador retriever lay down next to his owner's casket at a funeral service in Rockford, Iowa, refusing to leave.
The heart-wrenching photo of the scene, taken by the SEAL's cousin and posted to Facebook, soon went viral.
And on Tuesday, a 60-year-old man's dog watched and waited for 30 minutes for the fire department to rescue his owner, who had fallen through thin ice into the freezing waters of the Colorado River:
Nearby hunters witnessed the accident and called 911. But while they waited for help, the man's dog refused to leave the scene. Like a worried relative in the waiting room, the dog paced back and forth, trying to reach the man, who repeatedly waved the dog off, fearing for its safety.
"This is simply who dogs are," Dr. Karen Overall, an animal behavior expert, told Yahoo! Shine. "We have had a close, cognitive, emotional and working relationship with dogs for tens of thousands of years, and we have both been changed by that history. Dogs are heroic to us because they live up to that relationship."
Canine loyalty extends beyond humans.
Last year, a male pit bull refused to leave the side of a female pit bull who had been dead on the side of a road in Phoenix. According to local news reports, the male pit bull stayed with her for more than 14 hours.
