Samantha: Good Luck!

We are going to miss you Sammie! Samantha and her parents are going to be moving to Ashburn next week so we will not get to see her anymore. We are excited for her that she will be living closer to her friends, have more space to play and run, and have her parents working closer to her. But we will miss the excited tail wags, friendly warm kisses, and games of fetch and hide-and-go-seek.

We had a little adventure today while playing fetch with Sammie's favorite squeaky ball. Whenever we play fetch, I always take her into the courtyard of her apartment building and we play off leash (with her parents' permission). Well today we were playing in the grass close to the fenced in pool area and the ball ended up rolling into the pool. Yep, right into the pool and all of the gates were locked with no one around to unlock them. Oops! Sammie was very concerned that she could not reach her ball and was pacing back and forth. So what could I do? I jumped the fence to go and retrieve it for her. I am sure if anyone was watching, it would have been funny watching me climb a fence barefooted that was taller than me. But in the end, Sammie was ecstatic to have her favorite ball back.
