He just makes me smile! I'm so happy that he had a good checkup - looks like he is, too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderfull, best regards.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet Samwise next month! It'll be really good to see you too, Tom. Hope you're feeling well.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDelete"He's the happiest dog I've ever lived with."
Thinking Samwise is extra happy because he is so respected and loved by you.
It appears to be a perfect fit and that is a beautiful thing. The pictures are wonderful.
I pray that you are stronger with each new day.
oxox to you and Samwise.
Wonderful and tranquil. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see and read how he deals with his very first snowfall.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if Samwise has experienced snow before?
I was watching a special on Shelters on PBS today and one was talking about bringing the animals out for play dates with each other and moving them in to foster homes. She said you get a chance to see the dogs being themselves because a shelter environment doesn't show you who the dog really is.
I immediately thought of Atticus, Will and Samwise.
Letting dogs be themselves. Their best selves.
