Arrival Story:
Years ago, I was looking to adopt a golden retriever into my family. I was considering a breeder but one day I stopped by the SPCA to check out the dogs. There were only a few dogs there and although I wanted to bring all the dogs home, I knew none of them were quite compatible with our lifestyle and home. As I was leaving a truck pulled up with 2 large crates in the back. The kennel master jumped out and proceeded to unload a litter of puppies from both crates. They were little black labx's who all eagerly vacated their enclosure. I was turning to leave when I heard the kennel master speak ever so softly into the crate...he was trying to coax a remaining pup out of the crate. When I turned toward the kennel master I saw a beautiful brown puppy trying with all his might to stay in the crate. Once he was out...and I saw those big brown eyes...well...I was a goner...it was love at first sight. They found him wondering alone along a logging road in Port Alberni, BC..and had no information on him, they figured he was approx 6 - 8 weeks old. I could not adopt him right away because they had to check him out, etc. As soon as I possibly could, I brought my daughter (then 5 years old) back with me and adopted him into our family!!!! Sammy is almost 15 years old and we realize his days are numbered, he is almost blind (cataracts) loses his balance occasionally, but still gets outside and plays with the puppies...he has an amazingly strong spirit...He is such a sweetheart and we love him with all our heart!!

Well, looks like I am writing to everyone from up above...Mom took me to the vet and I suppose it was time to move on. My loved ones where there to help with my transition to Rainbow Bridge. It was difficult becasue I was still pretty stubborn trying to look up at everyone until the medication set in...then I went very peaceful. I think I exhaled one last time and that was it...I was gone. Everyone was crying because I was the original boy, the original pack leader...almost 15 years I have been with my earth family so I suppose someone up there decided it was time to build new relationships with other friends and family members who have moved on to the bridge. Mom misses me dearly but I promise her when it is that time for mom to go ove to the bridge, I will meet her with a skip in my step, a wag of my tail and lots and lots of kisses!!

I am going to the vet on Saturday. I am not sure if I will be coming back home again. The vet is going to evaluate me to see how ill I am and if I am in a great deal of pain. It is hard for me to express whether or not it is time to my mom because I always have the same expression on my face. I still love my walks and I still try to play which makes it even more difficult for mom to let go if she has to. If this is my last entry while still on this earth...I wish everyone out there peace and love....after all, is that not why we are here??? I promise to look over you from up above and to meet all that must cross over the bridge. God bless everyone!
Love
Sammy

My mom is having a difficult time tonight...I guess losing control of my bladder in the house didn't help...if I knew mom would be so sad over this I guess I would have tried not to do this...but sometimes..no matter how hard I try...it just doesn't help. Mom is sad over this because she knows that I will be moving on pretty soon and it breaks mom's heart to think I will not physically be here. Mom would always joke and say I was on borrowed time because our vet said I would not live past 8 years of age...well here I am almost 15 ...I suppose it should make mom feel better but right now it does not because my time is clearly coming to an end. Mom, please don't be soo sad, I need you to be strong just like you always been. You were always there to make me feel better during times that I was unsure (thunderstorms, firecrackers, going to the vet, surgery, my siblings, etc) try and be strong for me cuz I need you to always be this way. Well mom, I am tired and I must get some sleep...I promise when I wake I will greet you with a wag of my tail.
xoxo
Sammy Dog
