Sam

“My husband Dan, brought Sam back from Summersville, WV in 2005 where he was
vacationing at a cabin site. Sam was dumped there as a kitten, and the maintenance man was taking care of him or feeding him. I was at home dealing with a CH Himalayan at the
emergency vet who I rescued from a mill. Unfortunately, Sugar Pie didn’t make it through the
night. My husband thought that by bringing Sam home with him, it would help me to heal. But Dan is the one who fell deeply for Sam, and misses him just as much, if not more. Sam used to come up to Dan at the cabin site, as soon as he got out of his car, and rub up against his legs. While there, Dan would call to him each day, and Sam would talk back to him while coming out of the woods. On the drive back home from the cabin site, Sam settled into the car with no problem, as if he knew he was finally going home and no longer Imaging Home.

I always talked to Sam, and would say “your just a little boy” because he thought he was kind of a macho guy, but I saw through that. Sam was an indoor/outdoor guy who felt at home in the woods around our house for much of the day. Probably since he spent a lot of time in the woods at the vacation cabin. And though he was king of the woods, he was also a lovebug.We had nine wonderful years with our Sam. The end came too quickly, and filled us with regrets.

Now you’re with Sequoia, Lu Lu, Sugar Pie, and the others, chasing squirrels again, at the
bridge, in the warm sun. We love and miss you dearly and will see you all again one day.
Much love, Mom and Dad”
