This is one of our fave times of year, because, well, you know. Some of you have new brothers and sisters who we look forward to meeting. We missed being a part of that, and now feel re-connected! Thank you Diana! We can't wait to catch up! When Mamma went back to read some of your blogs to us, we realized how much it made us smile to find you again and see what you've been up to. One of our biggest motivators to get going again, was a memory we had of sharing holiday cards with y'all. We were having problems with our secretary all along, as you may remember. We have missed our friends here and are going to try again to begin blogging about our lives, fun and games, and places we see! Of course it really isn't our fault. Hello Y'all to our Pals! Can't believe we've been so remiss about posting. She filled our lives with her character and antics - she occupied an enormous place in our lives. She never wanted to leave for home, even when I reminded her it was supper time. She loved swimming in the Sierra lakes almost more than hiking, going far offshore to scarf up kongs or bumpers and dutifully bringing them back. She adored playing in the snow, snoofling and scratching up holes or catching snowballs. I can still envision her galloping down the trail, chasing squirrels or finding gophers, sniffing at anything potentially edible (which was most things). She tried tracking and dock diving, but loved swimming and hiking most of all. I was as much a novice as she was as she went on to earn her Beginner Novice (BN), Novice A (CD - Conpanion Dog) and Open A (CDX - Companion Dog Excellent) titles. She was enthusiastic about competitive obedience, first earning her CGC title (Canine Good Citizen). It is still too hard to write a lot about our adventures with her - she was such a willing companion, ready to embark on whatever task we set out to do for the day, whether it be a boring shopping trip or float trip down the Truckee River. From the first day we met her, she 'told' us she would rescue us, and rescue us, she did. So in I go with the black plastic body bag picking up bits and pieces of was once healthy and stuffed toys to be thrown out with tomorrow's trash.It has been so hard to wake up in the morning without our darling Sammie. A stuffed raccoon without a head, a troll doll without arms, a stuffed rabbit without the stuffing. Dead plastic and stuffed bodies everywhere. I should put yellow tape across the door. It's where they take their afternoon naps, play and have their cookie bone snacks.Įach day I go in there it's like a police crime scene. Sammie, Puddles, Gabby and Peaches have their beds in that room as well. These are the poor things that are just about on their last legs but not ready to be tossed in the bin just yet. In fact, I have a room in the back of the house were stuffed and plastic animals go to die.

Plastic ones not so much, maybe because they only last about 5 seconds in her mouth before they are destroyed. Sammie the Snorkie just loves to play with toys, especially the ones that squeak and filled with stuffing. See if you can borrow the neighbor's Wiener dog.they have short legs and can't run too fast.Ĭopyright © 2012 sammiethesnorkie All Rights Reserved

Sort of like fighting your mother-in-law for the last piece of steak at the dinner table.Ĭalves: After the dog has worn out the rest of your body, hang a round toy on your ankle and let the dog tug while you tug back. This exercise is especially popular with puppy owners. Hand Coordination: Remove foreign object from dog's locked jaw.

Repeat until your shoulder is dislocated or the dog gives up (we all know which comes first).
