Sammie Photo Gallery

December 5, 2005

As you can see from the picture on her birthday, she is treated like dog royalty. She gets to sit at the kitchen table on a chair, eat cake and doggie ice cream, wearing a stylish Scoobie Doo birthday hat while her Mom and Dad sing Happy Birthday to her......spoiled huh?

Sammie now has TWO brothers. Cody the 9 year old Shepherd, and the most recent addition, her younger brother named Rocky, who is now a year old. Sammie is truly one of a kind. She has grown out of the mischievous stage but she still is very energetic! Running and playing in the back yard with her brothers is her favorite pastime. She also spends many summer hours on bird/duck duty. She waits for birds or ducks to land in the pool so she can chase them out. That is her summer job that she thoroughly enjoys. Sammie still loves her rawhide bones but her younger brother Rocky likes to hoard the bones. Sammie isn't that willing to just give up her bones so she has started hiding them for chewing at a later time! One on one Sammie is a cuddler. She loves to cuddle and give kisses.

Sammie has adapted very well to her new home. She is very independent and loves to explore which sometimes leads to trouble! She is a handful to say the least. She loves her 7yr old brother Cody and won't leave him alone. When Sammie is up, she wants Cody up to play with her. She LOVES to be outside, eat snow, and just lay around in it! Sammie is in obedience training and is doing very well.
