I had to add this recent picture of Sam our Blue Heeler

(Australian cattle dog or ACD) 

I moved 1 1/2 years ago after living in one place for 12 years. That was the longest I had ever lived in one place. When I moved I had to leave behind my best friend Sam.  He and his wife and baby did visit within 4 months of my relocating, but it wasn’t the same as visiting with him several times a week. 

Once we moved to our new location we decided to adopt another dog to be a friend and companion to Chloe my American Eskimo (small Spitz) with a big personality.  Our pets had a 2 month stay at the local “Pet Motel” while we were looking for a new home and were staying in temporary housing.  Anyway, it was recommended that we find Chloe a friend, someone bigger than she because she tends to be a little aggressive and likes to play rough. My husband did a lot of research and decided on a Blue Heeler. It wasn’t long and I found a lady that needed to find Sam a new home because she had 2 blue heelers and a new baby.  

We were in the car when I told my husband about the dog and gave the lady a call.  I asked her several questions and just before we hung up I said, “Oh, What’s his name?”  She said, “Samson, but we call him Sam.”  I told my husband he wouldn’t believe it, but his name was Sam.  My husband smiled and said, “It was meant to be, baby.”  Yeah, he’s that cool. 

We adopted Sam Oct. 19th which I thought seemed like around the same time I would have purchased Chloe a year before.  I went through my old check registers and found that I wrote a check for Chloe that exact date a year earlier!  He’s a great dog….and spoiled!
