Labrador Rescue

Jill, this thread has had me in tears. Tears for Sam because he has been through so much, then tears for you when you lovingly told the story of your beloved Mick - I could feel how much he meant to you - then tears of joy for Sam, you and John and the lovely life he is going to have with you - this time in his forever home - and the happy times you will share - of that I am in no doubt.

Thank you for giving this lad a chance - he is a VERY special boy - you must be so proud to be his new mummy.

Good luck and we look forward to plenty of pics.

Love Michelle X

So happy for Sam and for you and John too Jill. Can't wait to see the pictures. Julie, Dylan, Jasper and Nina

I cant tell you how special he is everyone loves him and to see hom getting better everyday well... that is beyond price.

He will be the most perfect dog and deserves so much to be spoiled.
Some dogs come in rescue and get right under the skin...this is such a dog.
A perfect gentleman.

What lovely news. I fell in love with Sam as soon as I saw his story. I am sure he will have a wonderful life.

This is wonderful news. I don't blame you for spilling the beans Jill, your excitement really shows.

I never usually allow myself to get excited about anything, never have done, even as a child, then when it doesn't work out, you don't get disappointed.

Recently, "I dropped my guard" and did allow myself to look forward to something, although in my heart of hearts, I had a feeling that it would all go "pear-shaped".

However, I have always had the viewpoint, that if something is not meant to be, then something will be put in your way to stop it and guide you to take another path.

This is exactly what has happened with Sam, something was put in our way that lead us to Sam, and I'm sure glad it did.

This time, I KNOW that Sam will definitely be mine and John's and that's why maybe, this time, I've let a little bit of excitement escape !! (lol)

It sounds like Sam is going to have a wonderful life with you.

As you said yourself, it looks like it was certainly meant to be.

May you all have years of happiness together.

He stretches out but if in the back as he was the first time I took hom to the vets when you stop he pops his head up to see what is happening.When we went to the vet the other day with Rhianna, he sat on the back seat,and just lay there,not a problem at all. He has got under all our skin, he is such a wonderful gentle boy,he deserves the very best, and I am sure you will be giving him that...

He'll sort himself out I expect, what he wants to do, it's just that I want him to be comfy on a long journey.

My late hubby used to have many strange "sayings" one of which was "water always finds it's own level"

Been away for the weekend so only just caught up with this post. I am so thrilled that all has turned out great for Sam as he sound and looks such a lovely lad.

Reading your posts Jill I can feel the exitement and I am convinced he was sent for you.

Enjoy your new life Sam sweetheart.

Gill, Meg and Maisie

Oh Jill - I'm so pleased that you, John and Sam have found each other. It sounds like this very special boy is going to a very special couple.



Good Luck in your Forever Home Sam - you truly deserve it you gorgeous boy.

Love

Another miracle for the rescue.

A fabulous ending. Looking forward to seeing some photos of Sam when he gets settled in to his fantastic new home. He's a stunner

.....Jill, we adopted Blakey last December, at 6 years old. I've come to the conclusion that 6/7 is not old!!! We are now firm converts to the 'older' dog!! Plenty of life in them

Wishing you all many happy years together.

Best wishes for your life together with Sam. Fudge came to live with us when he was six and now at twelve is only just starting to slow down.

What wonderful news Jill. Just re-visited this thread and the thought of the lovely Sam going to such a lovely home brought a tear to my eyes (again!).

I look forward to hearing all about how he settles in and the pictures too when you can.
