| Oliver crossed the bridge 1/24/2003 I was just devestated about it for so many reasons. I didn't have him a long time, but he was a very special little guy who just wrapped his paws around my heart immediately. He was very regal and had a spot in the living room he particularly liked. Whenever he wanted anything, and I mean anything, he barked until I came to wait on him, LOL. My house is entirely too quiet now. Even Boney liked him and that is extremely rare. My Wally and Oliver slept together, you couldn't tell where one started and the other stopped, and Wally still looks for him. Linda K. Linda was caring for Oliver while his mom Kandi, is in a nursing home , till she feels better |

Sam crossed the Rainbow bridge on December 26, 2002. In 1998, he was an 8 year old male Boston Terrier who found himself in need of a new home when his human Mom (the only one he'd known) died and his human Dad had to be placed into a nursing home. The remaining family members weren't interested in keeping Sam; their initial thought was to have him euthanized. But, with the timely intervention of Boston Terrier Rescue, Sam was saved. By the time I entered the picture, Sam had been in 3 different homes. He was scared and confused about the frequent moves to strange locations. When I met Sam for the first time, he had just started showing signs of trust to the family that was fostering him. They, too, had grown attached. But, Sam and I knew we were a match since the minute we laid eyes on each other. . Sam nestled beautifully into life here with 3 other dogs and a cat. He made a tremendous adjustment and we adored each other.Before he got sick, he loved sleeping close to me and took special pleasure in his toys, pool and big rubber balls. I loved him so very very much. I hadn't had Sam for very long (less than a month) when I took him visiting to my Mother's who was caring for my Grandmother who was very ill. She only lived a short while beyond that visit, but I'll never forget what Sam did that night. My Grandmother was bedridden and fairly unresponsive to human contact. I talked to her as I always had and lifted Sam up on her bed to show her my new addition. Once Sammie reached her face and realized she was a frail elderly woman, he kissed her on the cheek and, for the first time since I brought him into my home, he wagged his tail. My Grandmother opened her eyes and looked at him...Needless to say, it was a very touching moment that brought me to tears. Somehow, Sam knew she was not well and the two of them communicated. Although I already knew the joy of sharing my life with an older dog, this certainly captured that for me and I will never ever forget it. |
