AkitaSam Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) For our darling Akita, Sammy, the most incredible dog we have ever known .. so loved and now so missed. He suddenly died 5 weeks ago, tomorrow, age 9 yrs. We miss his big brown head ... and everything else about him ... we miss him so much. We have created this Photo Montage, with a lot of tears, so we can share his life with you .. you can see him here .. with his life long Akita partner Kim. http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=aa107...medium=text_url Thank you.

AkitaSam Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Dear Sammy, today is the day you left us for another place, 5 weeks this morning and every second has been unbearable. The tears and pain just dont go away, we all love you so much, miss you so much, need you back in our lives. Nine short years my darling boy, suddenly taken from us, your family misses you so very much. Rest easy sweet puppy boy. Love from your family.

AkitaSam Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thank you collie angle Sam was just amazing … so friendly, so intelligent, such a wuss sometimes but still so dignified. The puppy/doggy stories would be another War and Peace. He was family and cared for us as much as we cared for him, we truly miss him so much.

Bonniebank Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Oh gosh. What memories in those photos! What a handsome chap! Thank you for sharing him with us. God speed Sammy from the Bonniebank gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkitaSam Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thank you Bonniebank Yes, Sam was a very handsome boy ... and he knew it! When he was a little naughty he would just give you one of his 'I’m handsome looks' and you would just melt on the spot. He never got away with it but always had another 'puppy look' in his arsenal just in case ... he is such a lovable character. It’s still so hard to come to terms with this though, everything brings back such happy memories and there are thousands of them. After 3 years with his Cancer in full remission for him to be taken so quickly by something else was so unfair to him. I fear the tears and sorrow are just the start of this families rollercoaster ride ... we still find it difficult to talk about him without tears flowing.

AkitaSam Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Your replies are all beautiful, thank you so much from all our family. Sam was a real character and we shared a great life and adventure together, we all miss him so very much it hurts. The other Akita with him is his life long partner and friend, she has been with him all her 8 years and after 5 weeks is only now showing real signs of grief and confusion. We are all she has now and are helping her but we are not her Sam. Thank you again Sue, Tony and Family. Edited June 30, 2006 by AkitaSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we knew what they were thinking. ;) It must be very sad for a dog to lose it's mate and be left alone (without a dog I mean). I keep trying to talk to my other dogs about Pepper going but I'm sure (as I have so many here) they are probably saying "oh no. We are so sad. I bags her bed and her toys and her share of food!" p.s. I don't mean any disrespect by this post. Just trying to see a lighter side of things for me.

AkitaSam Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks Donniebank. No disrespect taken, I have looked at her in the back of the wagon and said to myself 'she's thinking WOW look at all the space i have now'... I understand what you are saying and feel the same way, they don’t understand what’s happened but they do know something is missing. If we had 3 dogs I'm sure they would find other things to occupy their days and thoughts and simply get on with life. We humans are much weaker. We are worried that she may be sensing something very deep, I guess at this stage we just need to keep reassuring her and if this persists over the weekend take her to her Vet on Monday.

Bonniebank Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 How's she going? Will you be taking her to the vet tomorrow? Would it help to get the lend of a dog to help her through? Please let me know how she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Why oh why do I vist the bridge I start crying before the pictures are even shown. What a lovely tribute to Sam, he was obviously loved and got to experience plenty of good times and travel during his life with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkitaSam Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Bonniebank Kim is just the same, seems a little lost. We have talked to the Vet this morning and i will let you know how she is doing in a few days. Knowing Kim, she would settle down with a Puppy or an old doggy, she would get a bit touchy with say my sons BC jumping around. We are looking at a new Akita Pup soon, they were born yesterday ... so fingers crossed. Kim will just mother him boss him around Hi Warley Thanks also, yes he was loved very much, still is. He went every where with us and was a solid part of this family. We miss his more each day, even this morning when i got up i called both names to go 'outside' when Sam didnt come i went looking for him .. then remembered. Its going to be a long road.

I am still the same with MiMi, mostly when I'm yelling and telling the dogs off. Her name still comes out , along with the others. I got the extra food bowl out, so many times it made me cry. It does get better with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springdog Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 My deepest symphany to your and all the family for your recent loss. The video Montage tribute to SAM is absoutely beautiful. RIP SAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falgall Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 It has taken some time to write this. That tribute had me laughing and crying and I have never met Sam. Beautiful shots of a full secure and loving life with your family. I adore the sequence with Kim, you can see how close they were. I adore the Daddy watching the pesky pup shots - Sam looked so concerned and tolerant. I also adored the beach shot - got a bit wet I'd say ;) A wonderful tribute that not only expressed how loved Sam is but also portrayed his charcter. Thank you RIP Sam :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
