Sam and Sea-Sea at Anini Beach, January 10, 2012

Sam continues to amaze us...

When I went to Oregon to adopt Sam, the breeder, Tonya, said, "So, Steve, we've been explaining this to Sam and he understands. He knows he belongs to you now." Sam was 4 years old and had been in several home environments. And he kind of did act like he understood. Okay... So, as a joke and for fun we have started talking to Sam and explaining things and guess what? He does seem to understand.

Fast forward to the other day and Sam and Sea-Sea's first big adventure to a doggie daycare camp called Whiskers Resort. It looked really well run and we hoped that our dogs would fit in well. Linda told Sam, "You are going to a fun camp with other dogs and you can play but you have to make sure Sea-Sea is okay."

When we picked them up the lady could not wait to tell us that they had both had a great, fun day and...Sam, stayed with Sea-Sea for the first hour and a half. Then he went and played but came back off and on all day to check on his elderly aunt.

We're just going to keep talking to him! -Steve
