Talk2thePaw - > Chew Til They're Two -> Sammy Joins the Family
Sammy Joins the Family

A new dog has joined our family.  Our Allie ran away earlier this summer and was hit by a car and left us heartbroken.   We debated about getting another dog.  Life is easier in many ways without one, but we missed the whole-body wriggles greeting us when we come home, plus, frankly, we’ve gained weight without a dog to exercise with…

 

Sammy is a 10 month old Pitbull, though so far everyone asks if she’s a Boxer.   Her former family had owned her since puppyhood but recently their older female dog decided she wanted to be their only dog.   It was a sad parting.  They loved Sammy dearly and she adored them in return, but we are thrilled to have her join our family.

 

It has been interesting having a new dog.  She looks remarkably similar to Allie, but is very different in personality.  Allie was a hyperactive chewer who loved to be outside.  Sammy is our Pillow Princess.  She loves to nap, indoors, on the couch with her little head on a pillow.   Allie barked at visitors and occasionally in chorus with the neighborhood dogs.  Sammy is silent (we’re not complaining!)  She also does not chew.  When her owners said she doesn’t chew I was doubtful.  Chewing is what puppies do.  But, so far, no chewing.  No destruction whatsoever.  It’s a beautiful thing.

 

Sammy is a sweet dog and already has us wrapped around her little paw.
