Sam

Sam is our dog or also known as Chris' dog when he is being bad. Let me give you the scoop on Sam. He is a character. He can be very destructive but also very loving. He really likes to lick people, to the point of being annoying. He is obsessed with Chris. He follows him around every where, and gets very moody when he is separated from Chris for to long. He is very sweet to Gates but a terror to me. He has left me more messes to clean up then I want to recall.

He loves raw hide bones, Chris gives him a new one pretty much every day.

He loves to play fetch and will whine and bark at Chris to play with him. His favorite toy is a really old soccer ball that the leather has completely worn off and is half inflated.

Sam has to have a special water bowl that doesn't spill water because he likes to carry it around with him especially if he is outside. That is what is next to him in the picture.


The only thing he possibly loves as much as he loves Chris is to Swim. But, of course swimming is always better if Chris with him.

He loves going out on the boat.

He is a great swimmer but because he loves it so much he would swim until he drowned so when at the lake he has to wear a doggy life vest.

He likes to dig.

He likes to sleep. He has been known to sleep in very awkward positions. His favorite spot to sleep is on his giant dog bed next to our bed at night and during the day he likes to sleep on the couch.

He loves to run.

His best doggy buddy is Max. Max is Chris' parents dog who is from the same blood line as Sam. They have been together since they where pups. They really like to clean each others ears, that's true love.

Sam also likes sticks. The bigger the better.

Who would have ever thought that this cute little puppy would turn in to such a terror.

Chris loves this dog to pieces even when he is a terror so I manage to love him also.
