Take one minute...
...to appreciate this.

Sam passed away this week…
He was the handsomest dog I ever saw, and such a lovely creature. I’d talk to him most days, and he’d look at me as if he were listening- but then he’d just start licking himself…
He reminded me of Aslan from the chronicles of Narnia, or one of the baby polar bears off Planet Earth, and when he rolled on his back he would bear his teeth and growl, looking like a wolf.
I didn’t realizeĀ how many memories from my childhood were attatched to that silly old dog, he’s just always been there, and now he’s gone the house feels really quiet and empty.
I’ll miss you Sammy.
