Sammy

Post by coopercar »

We picked up Sammy from Wales yesterday. Didn't hear a peep from him all the way home and he seems to have settled in really well. He thinks the sofa is very comfortable and he has investigated every blade of grass on the short walks he has been on (can't do long walks until he has lost some weight!). He also seemed to think that sitting on my lap was a wonderful idea, I wasn't quite so keen - 50kg of happy Lab wriggling around isn't to be recommended but I don't care. He is a gorgeous dog and we all love him to bits already. Keeping him on his diet is going to be hard with those big brown appealing eyes but we will stick to it til his lost all the excess. Target - slimmer by Xmas!

How lovely you have taken Sammy into your hearts and your home, :love2:
Welcome to this site always lovely to hear about another lucky Lab finding a new home.
Will be great to follow his progress as he loses weight, he seems to have made himself at home already by the sound of things, bless him.

Having short walks with the weather like this is a blessing i would think.
Ky must be thrilled to have 4 less muddy paws to clean up.

Hi Carol and Sammy. A warm welcome to the site from us too.

I saw the lovely Sammy myself and almost fell in love :love5: Already have two 'biggies' in Molly (43kg) and Scooby (now 49kg) down from 71kg!

Good luck with the weight loss, it's well worth it in the end, despite the big pleading eyes.

Looking forward to more updates :thumbup:
