Sam, my one in a lifetime dog
by Nicole Schmitt
Exactly two years ago has been the worst day of my life when I had to let my baby go to rainbow bridge. It broke my heart. He was only 6 years old at that time. He meant everything to me and I still love him the same way as I always did and not a day goes by I dont think of him. The love he gave to me and the joy he brought to my life I will never forget because it was so special and unique. Since the day he came to me as a 10 week old puppy I was scared to death of the day I would have to let him go to sleep and I prayed that he would become a very old dog. But then he began to walk with a limp and it got worse from day to day. I went to many vets in germany and finally we found out that it was a tumour in his leg and in his lungs also. When the told that to me I knew that the worst day of my life had come. I always promised Sam and to myself that I would never let him suffer only to keep him longer in my life. So when the vet put him to sleep I held him in my arms so he could smell me and hear my voice telling him how much I love him for the rest of my life and that he will never ever be forgotten. Sam I love you so much and I still miss you more than words can ever say. You were such a special dog and I would do anything just to touch you once again and look into your friendly brown eyes. Every morning I walk the same way I always walked with you and pretend you are still with me. We love you. You are a one in a lifetime dog!
