Unfortunately on October 30th, my little friend Samson passed on to the other world. It was an unfortunate accident, but I feel good to know that while he was in our care, he had a good time. In the short time that we had him, he really started to open up. He started to play with toys, was more friendly with other people and dogs, and was well on his way to being housetrained. It is amasing how he was so quickly integrated in our lives, it seemed like we had been with him for years, not months. I have missed his quizzical looks, and his love of companionship. It was good to know that he looked so forward to seeing you after a day of work. There are some new pictures of him at http://www.soupergenius.com/gallery2/v/Pets/IG-Samson/ . We were really looking forward to him joining us on Halloween, but it just wasn’t meant to be. Hopefully someday there will be another addition to our family, but until then, I just wanted to honor his memory with some kind words.

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~Gilda Radner
