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

Happy first birthday to our Sammy girl!

A girl and her dog

We went to the park the other day and it was absolutely beautiful!  My two babies, the human one NOT living inside the womb and the furry one, just needed to get a day out to run and play.  It was a perfect day with lots of good photo opportunities, however, leave it to me to forget my good camera :(

Mia and Sam are really, really becoming some of the best buds!  Sam is not even 5 months old yet and is already pretty protective of her girl, which is the exact reason we picked a German shepherd for her.  If Mia goes to time out, Sam is right there with her, if Sam gets in trouble, Mia cries and yells “Don’t hurt her!”  They are partners in crime already :)
Mia loves to give Sammy her treats and fill up her food bowl.  She does well with telling her to “sit” and “shake” and Sam actually listens to her!  It is very sweet to watch.

Getting so big!!  At almost 5 months old, Sam is weighing in at 43 lbs.!!  We love our sweet furry girl!  HA!

Grow Sammy grow!

H 1.5 is growing by leaps and bounds these days!  She is so smart and we can already tell how close her and Mia are going to be.  Mia is her person.  She looks out for her and Mia for Sam.

Mia will go right up to Sam, gently grab her little face and say “Ohhh Sammy, oh Sammy!  You’re so cute!”  Sam just eats it up and licks all over Mia!  It is so sweet!

Thankfully she is starting to get out of her puppy biting and scratching stage.  There for a while poor Mia had scratches all over.

Sammy LOVES to just hang out outside.  Especially if her little buddy is outside :)

She is such a sweet and protective dog already!  We love her :)
