Couldn't think of anything more heartwarming on a Monday morning. Come to that can't think of anything more heartwarming than a loved old dog on any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteHe came around on HIS terms..

Hope you have a better week, sometimes we seem to fall down the rabbit hole, but there's always a way out !

He knows he is loved and wanted you to know he loves you.

Have a nice week.
All the best from Alsace/France
Sweet ~ a finer reward there is not then a wag of a dog's tail. A lovely start to a Monday morning.

A great picture of Sam and I can just imagine him with a wagging tail - especially with such a happy expression on his beautiful 15 year old face as he has in the photo!
ReplyDeleteWe are wagging our tails for Sam. Welcome Sam - we look forward to seeing your beautiful senior Golden face on these blog pages. Glad you are finally feeling at home.

Hurray for you and Sam!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start the week!
They figure it out..some it just takes a little longer. Great news.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sam, I have been thinking about you a lot and wondering how you were doing. What great news you wagged your tail and then you SMILED! See, it will all work out OK.--Inger
ReplyDeleteKim, that is just WONDERFUL news! I hope Doris is doing a little better too. Sam reminds me of my old dog, Snoopy, who (we think) is at least 13 or 14 years old. Best guy in the world, too. Of course I guess I am a little partial. Look forward to hearing more good stories about Sam.
ReplyDeleteThe furst wag is the toughest ;-)

The perfect way to start the day. It must have been great to see that old tail wag at you. He has such a beautiful face.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much a wag can warm your soul. Definitely a great way to start the week.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, How wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad. I know how you feel about this.
when Buddy came to live with us,he used to be very subdued and obedient. Being a very affectionate and happy lab he couldn't help being exuberant and playful but then he would go back to what looked like brooding.He came from a loving home, so it must have been harder for him to adjust and forget his family of four years.
But one morning, he just came up to me and licked my face and then wagged hard as if to say 'I have decided to adopt you'
i was still in bed then.
He hasn't gone back to brooding ever since and is no longer as obedient!!
we are so thankful for him. Ginger too follows him everywhere and vice-versa.
Lots of love to you and your goldens and of course THE terrier and THE cat!
couldnt ask for anything more than that... precious
ReplyDeleteone of your shortest and most uplifting posts kim.......

that's what makes it all worth while, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGill
What a start to the week! Here's to a wag of the tail every morning from now on... :O)
ReplyDeleteOh I bet that made your day. Bless him.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to tell you, there is a slightly mischievous look on "Old Sam's" face. Now that he's settled in, you might be in for it! Lol!
ReplyDeleteSo glad he's turned the corner. What a lovely way to start the day! :)

Hi Kim and Pups,
ReplyDeleteDogs are just the BEST people on this earth!!! I love them so much!!
Thanks for your good thoughts on my blogging and the dial up problem!! This computer is a 98 computer too!!!! Tom got it for me Christmas 08 but it didn't work until Jan 22 09 after coming home from the repair shop!!! Tom bought it from a Parts House store going out od business sale. I had never used a computer before and had not typed since high school. That was a LONG LONG time ago!!!! I remembered nothing!!
