Samantha
aka Sammie
She was my sister's pride and joy. She was one of a litter of six
which escaped the animal control officer
who
came to take her, her mother, and her brother and sisters.
After many hours of coaxing her out of a shed, she was my little sweetie who
stole my sister's heart.
Samantha, after a long and happy life, was diagnosed with a dental abscess
which
turned out to be cancer.
It took my sister a long time to make the decision
to send Samantha to heaven,
but it was finally made.
Julie always assumed that there would be no substitution for Samantha
until
Tabitha arrived shortly before Samantha died.
She eased my sister's pain in
losing Samantha
and has been another love in my sister's life,
which means she is spoiled
just as much as Samantha was.
Julie's baby girl...
Samantha.
