Sammy

It’s only now that Penny and I have come to realise just how much physical and mental energy went into looking after Sammy in his last weeks and months. We both became ill ourselves in different ways, and poor Sam somehow dominated every moment in one way or another. He had lived an active and energetic life to the full, but old age caught up with him, and we could not save him from that….

Now he has gone we are both totally exhausted, and it’s taking time to appreciate how much more time we now have for ourselves, and how less restricted we are. Sam was ready to go, he was worn out. We helped him pass on and loved him dearly. But we are too old to have another dog now – luckily we have many other doggy friends in our lives, and will be sharing the love.
