Re-posting Sammy Stories

December 4, 2020

This blog was seeming to become a trifle long, so I had taken the first ten Sammy Stories off. But, because Christmas is near, I thought I would re-post them. They are short, and a great read for small and big kids. How to read: Scroll down till you see Story #1, then work your…

Sammy Story 10: Camping

December 4, 2020

Wednesday, Sammy came to live with us. Friday we went camping. We knew it was too soon, but we had no choice. After the fiasco in the RV storage place, I kept the little guy with me, and also kept him on a leash, just in case. The camping spot was open, with no fence,…

Sammy Story 5: Safe places

December 4, 2020

Sammy needed a safe place. In his last home, it was his kennel, where he had his bed and his two favourite, miserable-looking “bunnies.” M told us that he would stay in his kennel in her office where he could be near her when she worked. She said she was hoping he could go to…

Bedtime. After Sammy got used to us more, and we had fewer peeing accidents in the morning, I began to leave his kennel door open. I wanted him to be able to sleep in the plush bed we put out for him between the kennel and my bed if he wanted. He quickly learned he…

It was October. Sammy had been with us for over three months. He didn’t go for his breakfast like a starving refugee the day after the party, afraid that at any moment some one would come and steal his food. Maybe because all of the people and confusion made him feel a little spooked from…

Sammy Story 16: People!

Sammy meets his first visitors.This dog will never cease to amaze me. Our good friends, Tom and Deb came over for a visit. They sat at the high table on our deck with us, along with Sammy. This scared, cringing little canine who flinches at every unknown sound, actually came up to Tom and sniffed…
