Bye Sam

Today was a sad day for us; we said goodbye to our precious 14 year old black kitty Sam. No matter how many times I have to say goodbye to a pet, it just doesn't get any easier. They weave their way into our lives and our hearts and become part of the fabric of our living. Letting them go somehow unravels a piece of our lives.

Sam was a interesting fellow - a cowboy in his own right. He knew what he likes, what he didn't and when he had enough (ask those who received the love nip!). He scared Ashlee, annoyed Doug and pretty much had no use for Becky. But we loved him - and we will miss him.

Sam loved being outside - Doug calls him Al Capone; we had many nights spent outside with the flashlight looking for him after he broke out

with his bff - baby kitty

Bye Sam - thanks for making the last 14 years a little more interesting.
