He had begun having accidents here and there in the house. He was deaf as a post. He had a large non cancerous tumor on his leg and he was having a hard time getting up and down and walking around because of hip dysplasia.
We adopted him seven years ago. Shelby and I found him at the pound. We took him to the common area and we fell in love with him. We were just going to "look" but ended up adopting him on the spot. Dan was a bit surprised when we showed up at his work with a big dog slobbering out the window.
He had had a tough life being abandoned twice before we took him in. He was a mere 90 Lbs when we adopted him and he was 150 Lbs at his glory.
We took him home and he fit into our family immediately. He was a watchful gaurdian over the triplets when they were small and went outside to play. If they got too close to the road he would herd them back toward the house. He was always protective over the kids. He was a constant companion and friend.
He didn't like men with ball caps and the UPS trucks or delivery men.
It's not suppose to hurt this much to lose an animal but it does. I can't even imagine daily life without him. His memory will live on in our hearts forever. He is missed deeply by our family. RIP Samson.
