Sammy 1996-2005

I am sad to report that our dog Sam died yesterday evening. He was a great doggie, who loved his people and especially a good tennis ball. It took us a few days to realize what was going on with him. We took him to the vet last week and he was diagnosed with leptospirosis. It turns out he was actually suffering from a cancerous mass on his spleen. The staff at the Ann Arbor Animal Hospital was very supportive and compassionate. I thank them for their good care of Sam over the last 9 years.

It is never easy to say goodbye to a friend. Especially one of the hairy variety.

Peace Sammy. We will miss you.
