Sammy girl turns ONE

Our pretty fur baby girl is almost ONE.  June 20, 2013 is her birthday, to be exact.  It has been a whirlwind year, but we just love our Sammy girl!

She is SO loyal and super protective.  Some people think she is mean, or scary, or obnoxious, but the truth is, she is just super protective of her family!  And we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Our beautiful girl…

Sam is so loving and playful with the girls.  She wants to be with Mia wherever she goes.  It is so funny to see the two of them “wrastle.”  She loves the girls so much!

“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.  You are his life, his love, his leader.  He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.”

Sam is exactly what we wanted when we were looking for a pet.  We wanted to have a dog who would “protect” us, especially our girls. And that is exactly what she does.  We actually have a physical fence, along with an electric fence in our yard.  One day Mia was by the physical fence, by the next door neighbors dog and Sam was literally putting herself IN the electric fence, barking and biting at the fence trying to protect Mia.  She didn’t know that Mia was not in any danger, and she was making sure of it!  LOVE IT!


“Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, never owned a dog.”

She also loves her Meme and Poppy and Ben! She gets SO excited to see them when they come over.  She also tries to protect them from their own dogs!!  She claims them as her own as well!  All others all suspect.  If we have visitors, Sam has to go outside first, then our guests come in, and then Sam can come in.  Even then, she is questionable.  She doesn't exactly *make friends* real well.  However, she is not a mean dog.  Just always working and making sure her family is safe.

“A dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb.  Give him your heart and he’ll give you his.  How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special?  How many people can make you feel extraordinary?”  John Grogan
