Sunday Ramblings and Sammy Pics & Video

December 5, 2010 by Darlene

Good Sunday morning everyone from Sammy and me!


Wow, another week gone by and so fast. My week has been busy as usual keeping track of a very active puppy named Sammy! My goodness this little guy is full of it but he’s a sweetheart and I am so very glad to have him.

He hasn’t really done a lot new this week although he did make it up our back step into the house by himself and up the back porch steps. I think he even surprised himself. It was really cute and then of course he took off in his coat and boots and I had to catch him.

He hasn’t changed outside – he’s still just as bad as ever. We did have to fence in our garden because he was using that as a personal playground and he would run laps so fast I was scared he was going to break something on the outer box of the garden. Have you ever thought of playing dodge with a puppy? Well that’s pretty much what Sammy and I do, either with something in his mouth or without. He will stand and watch me and if I make a move one way or the other, he takes off. It’s just unbelievable to me how something so little could be so smart.

He still loves to bite and chew everything, mostly his mommy’s hands and clothes. He’s funny now though you tell him no for something he turns away from it and flops over on his back for a belly rub. It’s too cute. I just wish he’d do that outside instead of acting like a crazed dog. lol. He does not even remotely like to be brushed and we’re going to tackle a bath today so that could be interesting too. He does love his belly rubs and he loves to cuddle in bed – he is a sweetie.

Ok, now that I’ve rambled on about Sammy forever I should move on to bookish things before we get to pictures. I’m finishing Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning and about halfway through The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick. I am enjoying both a great deal. There’s a bunch of other ones I’m going to be reading to catch up with all that I missed in the last few months and I hope to finish them all before the end of December – that’s the plan anyway. I did my yearly wrap up yesterday because for me 2010 wasn’t a good year and I just want to get everything wrapped up for it and move on; you can see my results here.

Now for some pictures and I even managed to figure out how to get a video of Sammy chasing his tail for you. He is hilarious when he does that and he can sure spend a good amount of time doing it too. Here is Sammy starting his 15th week of life..

This is Sammy’s ‘I’m seeing what I can get into next look since I’m already done with this blanket.’ This blanket, by the way, is the one I bought him so he’d stop chewing the one on the couch. Needless to say it was a useless purchase – lol.
Aren’t I the cutest!!!
Mommy doesn’t know yet that I’m chewing the rubber right off this toy. Unfortunately for me I think shes’ gonna soon and yet another of my toys is going to be gone.

Hee hee, this is where I hide from mommy. Needless to say Sammy doesn’t know yet but mommy is more than willing to crawl under the table to get him if necesssary.

And here is the promised video of Sammy chasing his tail! Enjoy! As you can see once he realized he was on camera he took off. lol.

That’s it for this week everyone. I hope you enjoyed the pictures, video and tales of Sammy’s adventures in life. What has everyone been up to this weekend? I hope you all have a fantastic week!

    Your post takes me back to the days when my Riley was younger. 🙂

    It's time for wrap ups? I can't believe the year is almost over.

    I keep seeing Karen Marie Moning's name but I haven't read any of her books.

    I hope you have a good week. I'm sad to see the weekend come to an end already.

    As far as playing dodge goes, Diego is the same way. And he's fast like lightning…lol.

    Puppies – they destroy everything and we love them all the more for it 😀 Sammy is adorable, Dar! He couldn't be lovelier if he tried 😀

    December 7, 2010 at 7:12 pm

    Sammy is just the cutest, Dar! I'd guess it's hard to get mad at him – one look at those big brown eyes surrounded by the curly black hair and your heart must melt! He's so photogenic, too!

    I'm glad you are really enjoying the books you're reading! You sound good.
    Have a good week :o)

    Glad you got so much reading done, and Sammy is the most precious!!! Love that video of him 🙂

    PS: I think the internet gods haven't approved of my comment cause I could swear I left one on Sunday too… 😛

    Thanks everyone for your comments on my little Sammy Bear. I'm glad you all liked the video. I'm trying to get another of him playing with his toys but he's too fast and I'm not fast enough. lol.
