Just under three weeks ago I posted on facebook the day after one of the saddest days of my life when we said goodbye to our beautiful Bob.
The post was about things that I was missing in my life:
A waggy tail on my return from work
sorted!
A pink nose waiting for a carrot whenever I go to the fridge
Sam's not sure what to do with carrots - he just carries them around!
Not being accompanied to the loo
sorted
Stroking silky ears
Sam stayed still long enough for me to do this last night
Gentle snoring whilst we watch tv
no snoring yet but that's okay
Not having to push food to the back of the worktop
Sam is far too well behaved for me to have to worry about this
Dog hair
in abundance despite being combed daily!
Being followed - everywhere
Sorted
Noxious smells
Not so far
Walkies
Sorted thank goodness!
Every mouthful I eat being watched carefully and drooled over
This doesn't happen. Sam does expect a little to be left for him and put in his bowl though
Not having to check behind me to make sure I don't trip over my stealthy shadow
Sam is too noisy and bouncy to be a stealthy shadow but he is very careful not to trip us up
Being reminded when it's time to feed him
He's good at this
More dog hair
Yep.
I could only think of one remedy which you can all guess and Sam has succeeded in all the good points bless him. He's filled our lives with smiles again and though Bob will be in our hearts forever, Sam is the here and now and is a joy to be with. I can't wait to get home from work and find out what Malc, Sam (and my daughter) have been up to!

Well and truly sorted if you ask me. Bobbles would approve too by just knowing that you have a smile on your face again Xjackiem wrote:Just under three weeks ago I posted on facebook the day after one of the saddest days of my life when we said goodbye to our beautiful Bob.

Well Jackie, Sam sounds an ideal companion already I think he knows he's landed at the right place for a wonderful life. Is there anything more relaxing than stroking a labrador's ears

Re: Check list
Jackie you certainly sound as if you are really enjoying having Sam, I think he is going to be another character,
Even though I do not know you , you sound so happy.
It is over 3 years since we lost Harriet, and quite often I call Molly our other choc Harrie that was what we used to call her,
Big hug for Sam from us.
