Or via Skype? Thank goodness the Sams of the world have folks like you to help out in these types of situations.<br /><br />Extra licks for Sam from Apples & Neeli.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Nadine Apples & NeeliMySpecialDoggieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763178681997577623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-64186407134148967772010-09-07T00:42:59.636-04:002010-09-07T00:42:59.636-04:00Some assisted living facilities have computers &am...Some assisted living facilities have computers & internet connections for their residents.

In any event, what a wonderful, kind thing you did for both Sam & Doris. My heart breaks for that poor woman and the loss she must be feeling.

There ya go, Kim ~ your porch is the perfect spot for them to sit outside and enjoy the view... ;-)<br /><br />Seriously, it is heartbreaking to think that at the point in their lives where people and their beloved pets could most benefit from each other's love and companionship, they will most likely have to be separated. I want to grow old with my dogs. Like so many others, I just can't imagine my life without my tail-wagging friend by my side.<br /><br />Bless you for at least easing the minds of "Sam's People" by giving him a loving place to live out the rest of his days...Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-12858134720588918412010-09-05T07:44:27.718-04:002010-09-05T07:44:27.718-04:00Dearest Kim, what a sad position you are in.

I believe they both know that. My heart aches for Doris and for Sam. Many times I think of my pets and what would happen if I sudden became ill and couldn't care for them, would they understand when the time came for us to be separated? <br />Your idea to bring Sam to visit Doris is a great one I think, it will give them both a chance to see that the other is ok and feel their connection again. Maybe it will brighten the spark in their lives once more.<br />Have a good weekend Kim!<br />Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-51800473209456242052010-09-05T03:12:17.844-04:002010-09-05T03:12:17.844-04:00Charlies muzzle reminds me of another all white do...Charlies muzzle reminds me of another all white dog.
