Sam

I think I'll change Sam's name to Ripper. He's like a little tornado of fishhooks. Last night I was playing fetch with him and faked a couple of tosses in different directions. After the third one, he hauled off and whacked me on the palm, leaving a big gash. I still have scars on that hand from scratches from my first Sam that have been there 49 years. Last week, he just ran past me and I felt a pain in one leg. I looked down and there was a long scratch on my calf. I didn't see him even slow down to deliver the wound. He's going to the vet Tuesday. Besides his shots, he's going to get a good nail trimming.

He is truly handsome!! And Sam is a great name for him. His red reminds me of Sam the Butcher on "The Brady Bunch."
