Best Buddies - The Story Behind Ali & Sammi's Friendship

Ali and Sammi sleeping together on the floor.

When Ali first came, Sammi was very jealous. Now they are bestest buddies. They play together all the time.

Just A Normal Day In the Life of a Dog

Ali and Sammi are great today. Normal...as usual. Just thought I should post that. Sammi is still having trouble with her allergies, sneezing, congestion, and such. She's very healthy for an 11 year old dog, though. Ali is hyper if you talk to her. They're roaming the house now. I guess that's it.

Sammi, looking very old. Doesn't represent her very well. Taken on my Dad's birthday in March this year.









Ali, in the schoolroom being a sweetheart.

A hysterically funny picture of Ali just about to bite an unsespecting bubble. Click on the picture to zoom in, then look at Ali's face. It's SCARY!!!!!!

Duke Hangover

The house is an melancholy Duke "hangover". We expect to see him when we could in the door, jumping at the cage bars, yipping and wagging his tail. I miss his puppy kisses and husky breath. Sammi no longer has her little buddy. Ali doesn't seem to care :-). When he finally left, she walked over to her bed and flopped down, having the expression of "it is finished" - happy.

.....I don't miss hearing him bark at 3 o clock in the morning!

Sammi Picture

We went to our grandparent's house two summers ago, this is her keeping a very close eye on the cats we were holding. She looks so young in this picture and beautiful!
