We were so happy when Sammy recovered from her infection. She was again happy and active. Well, as active as an almost 14 year old Golden Retriever can be. But it didn’t last for long. On Tuesday afternoon, probably around 5 pm, when Sammy came walking into the kitchen after a snooze in the computer [...]

Sweet Sammy
On July 4th, Steve and I will be married for 12 years. It’s been a fun and wacky ride all this time but we’ve had one constant through it all, and that is our Golden Retriever, Sammy. Sammy, short for Samantha, was about 16 months old when Steve and I had our first date. The [...]
The only problem with having a Great Dane
The only problem with having a Great Dane for a pet is that when she wants to be petted, she’ll be petted. For example, while I was sitting here at my desk writing, she came up and put her face in my face. As try as I might, I could not get her move. I [...]
You blinked!
I snapped this picture of Sarah thinking it was perfect to illustrate her size. When I opened it up in GIMP I guffawed. She blinked! What a goofy dog! Yes, that’s our dining room table that she’s towering over.
Sarah is one year old today
Happy one year birthday to our sweet Sarah the Great Dane. She’s grown so much this past year. This is what she looked like when we first got her: Here she is now: I’m using this post for this week’s I am Blissfully Domestic post.
Images from around the house
Our beautiful Great Dane Sarah is one year old on the 22nd. She has grown so fast and still has her issues, like chewing on some of the kids’ toys and snagging things from the dinning room table, but she’s such a sweet girl. Since she is still a puppy she can get a burst [...]
The sweetest story
I turned on the Early Show this morning to make sure Little Man’s school wasn’t on a delay, saw this story and smiled. The Westminster Dog Show crowned Stump, a ten year old Sussex Spaniel who came out of retirement after a serious medical condition, its newest Best in Show. I just love stories like [...]
Sammy update
Sammy is doing so much better. By yesterday afternoon, she was looking more alert which told us her fever was reacting to her pain meds. She ate dinner, had some water, and went outside several times. I watched her carefully, looking for any sign that her fever was coming back, but by the time I [...]
To the vet’s office
Yesterday my husband and I noticed that our golden retriever, Sammy, was breathing a little harder than normal. On top of that, she didn’t want to eat or drink anything. Even though she is 13 years old she’s always been healthy and spry, so this scared us a bit. Not wanting to take any chances, [...]
It’s been one year since Kelsey died
One year ago November 27th, our sweet Irish Setter, Kelsey, died. She was 11 1/2 years old. Kelsey was the first dog my husband and I got together. He really wanted an Irish Setter because of their beauty and majesty. I had some misgivings because my family had an Irish Setter when I was very [...]
