Arrival Story: I had recently lost my Malamute of 13 years, Caesar, when I was in a parking lot at a store, and a family in a jeep had 3 big Husky/Malamutes in the back! I said, "What beautiful dogs!"- I wondered if they would sell me one, or know where I could adopt one. They said: "You want this one?"- meaning the youngest one. I said, "SURE I DO! How much do you want?" "Nothing," they said. (They were an immigrant family, so maybe they just had too many dogs to care for.) They gave him to me, FREE, so I took him.
I was so happy. I put him in my van with my other two doggies, and took him home. It seemed the older, bigger dogs (at his previous home) had attacked him a few times (they told me ), so I took him to the vet where he sewed up a gash to his nose, put some stiches in his leg, and had him neutered.
After being with me for awhile, he finally calmed down enough to stop eating the house whenever I left. (He was fine when I was home.) *Whew* The true nature of his breed began to come out: sweet, friendly and gentle. He completed obedience classes and he's getting more training so he can become my PSD. (He goes with me everywhere, anyway.) I hope, in a year's time (with the help of a trainer), he'll be able to be evaulated and approved to be a certifed Therapy Dog, so he can visit patients. Seems everyone he meets wants to pet him. He truly loves everyone. What a great addition to the pack!
Bio: Sammy's doing well with his training, but he still has to pass the "Canine Good Citizenship" test, and I still need to train more with him on that. (In different places, with more distractions, in public places.) For his breed, though, I'm surprised he picks up on things that I thought he wouldn't get! He's pretty smart. We'll let you know our progress. Wish us luck!
Since we've been on Dogster, I've gotten some good tips from other S.D.s- (and lots more information on what we need to do! Websites, etc.) and soon, we're going to the V.A. so Sammy can get his "Veteran's" I.D. Card. Since I'm a disabled Veteran, he gets to come with me to the V.A. Hospital. He still needs to get his CGC , so we're working hard on that for now. Sammy's got a mind of his own, that's for sure!

Haloween. Well we watched the Great Pumkin, Charlie Brown. BOL
But this Michael myers, the bad guy from the movies, if we were ever out and he was there (I know how I say I like to run), but if he ever tried to hurt my family, I'd run full on, and knock him off his feet!
I'm a BIG DOG, he'd have to deal with me.
Just call me Old Yeller..
I'd let my family get away, and then run after them. Then we would call the police. YIKES!
I would protect my family, no matter what.
So tonight, mom took us, with Grandpa, to the doggie park. We go later, so we have the park to ourselves, mostly.
Oh we see a doggie or two and bark a hello, but it's FUN to have the park to ourselves.
Okay, there is three big park areas, one for "small doggies" another for "medium" doggies and then one for "big" doggies.
So we go to the "medium " doggies park first, and mom gets those baggies when we go in, of course.
We ran and ran. But there is no water bowl in the Medium park, so then, we get leashes again, and head for the "Big" dog park.
Yay. However, there are two entrances to the "Big" dog area, and the other gate was open!
I made a run for it!
Hehehe mom kept calling SAAAAAAMMMY! Oh, I was running across the softball field. Weeeeeeee!
So, Grandpa was chasing after me, and I finally came back.. and mom tackled me! grabbed my harness, and we got our leashes back on.
But what FUN! Nothing is more fun than running away and being FREE. Mom about fell over, getting me, but, oh well.
I'm back at home now, tired after my escape run. Can't wait to do it again! Woof
It's fixed. Mom talked to Dogster and you can leave a comment on my page.
I dunno, mom has been a bit out of it lately. So, if we don't post too much, it's not our fault!
Humans! what can you do? Things are okay with us, though. maybe bark at you all later.
Love, Sammy
