Poor Sheba

I feel so bad today. My girlfriends' dog Sheba has lung cancer and has to be put to sleep. She is a 10 year old black lab with a gentle nature. We'll miss her!

Sam The Great

I want to talk about some of the animals who have passed through my life and given it meaning. One of my best friends was Sam my Irish wolfhound mix. My husband and I found this dog at the spca in montreal, quebec. We were searching for a dog to keep company to my german shepard Tania (also from th spca). Tania was a bit aggressive so we were able to bring her to the spca with us and itrioduce her to different dogs. Well, needless to say, it wasn't working out so good because she was so intimidating. Finally we had gone through every dog available and as we decided to leave the person working there said to us that although she shouldn't do this, there was a dog about to be put to sleep in the back and she felt bad. Would we like to see the dog? Okay!! There he was Samm the most timid dog everseen. We took him home and he cried all the way. He cried for quite a few nights and howled barked etc. We bought him a cage on advice from the vet. We put him to bed with some of my old pajamas and voila!!! Never a noise. From that day on whenever we couldn't find Sam he could be found in his safe zone. p.s. We didn't even close the cage door anymore. I want to talk more about Sam and I in the next post. I stll miss him.
