He had a little goatee ,which was visible from that first day; how cute it was!!
his sweet ,funny personailty shone thru right from the beginning ,and his bond with his "other' mommy (me!!) was very strong from the beginning........
When he was about 5 months old ,he decided (after watching me cook dinner ) that he thought my big potholders were the "purfect" toy`s ,so he got himself up on the counter ,opened the drawer ,and started flinging them all around the kitchen!!!.

he had MANY ,MANY kitty toy`s ,but those potholders were his ultimate favorite( I buried him with them ,so he`d have them to play with in Heaven).....

Oh Sammy ,the yrs flew by ,and I thought I`de have you much longer then I did,six and a half short yrs was no where near enough......

My heart literally broke the day I had to say goodbye ,when you closed your eyes for the last time here ,I felt your beautiful spirit leave ,it was so beautiful and gentle.....

and because our bond was SO close ,I felt all your earthly pain end ,it was a peaceful feeling .......

in my heart ,I knew I did the right thing ,but ,oh ,it was SO HARD to let you go!!!!

Moses has now come to join you ,I told him he would see you again....

I know you were happy to see him ,I dreamt of you both being reunited.......

Sweet Sammy,I love you my precious friend .......

Till we meet again,
