Sammy turned 35 today

In puppy years, that is! In human years he is FIVE.

I can't believe my pup is getting old. It is not fair that dogs do not live as long as humans.

As I said last year this time, Sammy is my first and only dog. And guess what, Sammy and I are becoming best friends. We were only friends before, but now since i'm home more often, we've upgraded our status to "best friend" level. What I mean is, I'll wake up in the morning and go outside and let him out of his pen. We'll run around in the yard and play. And then i'll sit down on the porch and he will lay his entire body on my lap. So Sammy gets the ultimate belly scratch.


The vet told us that Sammy needs to lose some weight, so i've been working on trying to get him a little more active than usual. Carly and I took him for a walk along the road the other evening and I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous. You see, we don't take Sammy for a walk, he takes us for a walk. So walking along the road with a super strong and hyper dog? A little scary. I would hate for anything to happen to him. But thankfully he was a really good dog and I think he may be starting to learn who is the dog and who is the owner in this relationship ;)
Happy birthday Sammy!

This post makes me REALLY want to get a puppy! Also, I love his name (My name is Sam/Samantha, haha).

I found your blog over at The Charming and saw that you said you start nursing school in the fall - Me too! I just finished up all my pre-reqs and am excited/nervous/anxious to start the real deal in just a few short months!

I'm your newest follower. :)
