Before the story .. I know many of you have stated in your comments that Sammy's passing was sudden and you didn't even know he was sick. MamaBug never mentioned it because his symptoms started about the same time her's did -- and I just never thought of it. We were taking less and less pictures of him so we could remember him as the gorgeous, handsome Sammy that he once was. At one time he and Andy weighed the same, 14lbs, and on Friday he weighed 10lbs. He was constantly drinking water and using the litter box, he got to where he couldn't squat any more so he would just do his business standing up ...... sometimes he would make it in the litter box and other times he would miss and he wasn't grooming himself any more.
Hard to believe he was ever that small!!
I have to share my Sammy story -- I'm afraid I'm not that good of a story teller but I have to share this. I remember when MamaBug brought him home. He was this little black ball of fur and so, so, so , so cute! I totally wanted to kiss him all over and pet him .... but Sammy had other ideas! Any time I would get anywhere near him he would hiss, growl, swat and bite me. He wanted NOTHING to do with me and would treat the girls the same way. However, every time I saw him I would always try to pet him.
Then MamaBug came to live with me and the girls. We were so happy and I was hoping I would grow on Sammy. MamaBug went into have her second colon surgery and one night something jumped up on my bed ... yup it was Sammy. He slept at the foot of the bed for a couple nights and slowly worked his way up closer into petting range. That's how our sweet friendship started and I'm so glad it did. We had many special moments from cuddling on the couch, to him laying in front of the monitor resting his head on my hand. We also had many cuddle sessions in the middle of the night!
I will miss my dear furry little friend so much!!! I hope you will enjoy these pictures we found of Sammy. My scanner always put white spots on the pictures and sorry that some of the pictures aren't in focus.

Thanks for sharing those early pics of Sammy--he was such a cutie!! That is a great story of how you and he became friends.
Such nice memories and photos of Sammy. Mom Paula understands about not taking pictures once he got sick. She didn't post too many pictures of Sweet Praline when she started losing so much weight and stopped grooming, except for her face.
Sammy will always be very special to us.
