A true friend has left this earth today.
Hello everyone.
It is with great sadness that I write today letting everyone
know Sam has crossed the bridge. She
passed peacefully early this AM. She is
now frapping freely in the grass, chasing rabbits and tennis balls. Eating full bowls of food to fill up her
chubby belly. Bossing around her sister
and herding her around the yard. Soaking
up the sun just sitting in the yard keep a watchful eye on what I am
doing. Sam never left my side,
ever. A true friend. We were blessed to be graced with her love for
7 years and 9 months. Far, far to short
for a Corgi. Sam always enjoyed rides in
the car. She loved to sleep on my lap,
peacefully while driving.
Sam was diagnosed with Lymphoma in March 2014. Before that she became septic in 2011, due to
bowel complications. Recently she had
begun to have seizures. We were never
fully able to get them under control, and she had finally had enough. Through it all, Sam remained so very
tough. She would always bounce back, but
not this last time. I have never known a
dog so strong. She wanted nothing more
in life but to just be by my side. I
miss her dearly not sitting near my feat as I write this. It is tough to choke back the tears.
There is so very much love for Sam and her sister Taz, who
is now our only Corgi. We will continue
this love and admiration for Taz, for her, and to keep the memory of her sister
close.
Please take some time this evening to sit quietly with your
pups. Dogs make life worth living. Thank you to everyone who kept in touch with
kind words for Sam. They are appreciated
more then you know. Remember to take
pictures and create lasting memories with your pups.
I will see you again someday little Sam. I will have plenty of tennis balls to chase and
a bag full of treats when we meet again.
Until then, I know you will be watching over everything I do.
