Sun Sign:  Badges:  Quick Bio:
 Birthday: January 1st 2003
 Likes: Being anywhere Daddy is & WATER-WATER-WATER-WATER!

Pet-Peeves: Loud noises, thunderstorms, BBQ grill

Favorite Toy: Nothing really--he likes to chew on rubber hoses

Favorite Food: Anything

Favorite Walk: Around water and anywhere Daddy takes him.

Best Tricks: None-- but he's learning,as MAIZY tries to play with him and show how it's done!

Arrival Story: Saw an ad in the paper. Went to see him and was told he was in a cage for 2 years. Never any contact with the outside world. Scars on his nose, by his eye and one ear torn in half. She told us it was from puppies playing-----I don't think so!! I should have reported her and some of the other breeders we visited! Ban Puppy Mills!!!

Bio: He really was terrified of everything--it took MAIZY, our mother hen, to show him the ropes and how to act like a dog. It took 3 years to win his trust and there are still some things that scare him. Daddy is his favorite person--he love,love,loves Daddy! He has come a long way even in the last few months. He finally will play with some toys and is learning to bring back the ball when thrown. He is a real sweetheart and it breaks my heart to think how someone could be so cruel to him.

Forums Motto: Sammy---Mr. Excitement!

Just thought I'd give a little update, as everyone was so kind with all the rosettes, thoughts and prayers. Mama is giving me my special pills twice a day....12 hours apart. So far I am doing well, haven't had a seizure yet. Mama says I seem to be more relaxed and I actually played outside with Maizy and Tipper ! They were chasing me and I was running around and wagging my tail....Daddy was so surprised to see that ! Normally I kept my distance from those silly spots and would only play with Daddy. Mama really hopes this is the problem and that there isn't another underlying cause . We are all keeping our paws crossed. I will see the vet in another week and I'm sure he'll do a blood draw to see if the pills are helping or need to be increased. Now I'm just waiting for Spring to get here, so I can lay in the warm sunshine........Bye, bye :)

First of all, I want to Thank Bailey for picking me as Royal Member of the Day yesterday ! It was a great honor and it did help cheer us up. She made a lovely picture for me, also ! I also want to thank all my lovely pals for all the beautiful Rosettes and well wishes for my special day and for the prayers ! They must be working (Doing the Happy Dance), I have good news !
We are back from the vet :) He checked me out, I got my shots, did a blood draw and said he would call us. If I get more seizures lasting 15 minutes or longer or cluster seizures, take him to the Emergency Hospital immediately ! We were only home about 45 minutes and Mama got a call. He said everything just about showed up pretty good except my thyroid was on the low side...this could very well be the problem. As he said, if this is causung the seizures, we are lucky because it's treatable :) We'll pick up my meds tomorrow and start on it. Bring me in again in two weeks to see if the dosage is correct or needs to be adjusted. After that, check ups every so often. We're praying this is the cause and the meds will help me. As usual, I was an excellant patient ! ♥ Thank you for you good thoughts, help and prayers ♥ Will keep you updated ! Hugs & kisses to all my special friends.......I am so lucky to have all of you to pray for me and wish me well!
Labbie Love to you all xoxoxo

Mama and Daddy are very worried, I had another seizure tonight ! This is my 3rd one in a few short weeks. Mama is calling the Vet and we hope we can get in on Thursday, as he is off tomorrow, It is scary for me and very scary for Mama. Daddy was a firefighter and EMT, so that helps me. He tries to keep me calm and focus on him. Mama is worried it could be a tumor or Kidney failure, as I have been wanting to go out a lot. Mama will keep you updated. She won't be in her groups much, because she can't really concentrate on the games. She may be on FB to update there........Please keep me in your prayers....Thank you !
Hugs, Sammy xoxoxo
