Sam is home safe and sound and looking spritelier that he has in months. We’re wondering if he’s pretty much been ill since we started giving them raw bones back in June.

This was cute when he was “little”, like in this picture from right before Christmas. Now that he’s pushing 100 lbs, it’s still his favorite place to be in the evenings. Of course, while he’s comfortable, he pretty much takes the entire chair and squishes you to get where he wants to be… Oh the […]
