The legs can't get up but the ears still do...


Still even at almost 16 years old (that's 112 in dog years!) Senior Sam still feels
the rush when she sees one of these babies:
and so we sing:
"From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for."

yep, that is what Senior Sam would sing to that little squirrel if she could sing, because for so many years Sam has tried to sneak it up on those little rascals, back in the younger days she would do "the creep" in which she'd take 2 sneaky steps forward in hopes of not startling the poor little squirrel but sure enough that squirrel always got away! Through the years Sammi chased and creeped and barked and tried to jump fences most times just crashing into the fence but always trying to make friends ( or attack ) those darn squirrels.
Now age has gotten the best of her and she can no longer get up too well on her own but just seeing her labrador hunter ears rise up at the sight of Mr. Squirrel made me smile. I miss my old "young" Sammi.
It is so hard to say goodbye....
Here are some very special
pictures of my 2 Favorite Girls
