| Important Sam message, coming your way! |
Sam: So I'm not going parachuting?
Mom: Sorry, Sammish, not today.
Sam: Hmmm.... Can I tell them then that I have my very own Service Human?
Mom (sighing dramatically): If you must...
 |
| Tee-hee, his butt looks cute in this thing.... |
Mom: Yes, I have also assisted him in stealing Monty's food, begging for bones from Dad, and chasing imaginary rabbits through the yard. Anything to keep his day normal...
Sam: Those rabbits were dere, I saw them. ...and they were mocking me!
Mom: If you say so. I think my knee will heal from where you ran around the rock and DIDN'T leave me enough room to clear it.
Sam: You such a kidder, Mom!
 |
| I want to sun bathe for eleventy minutes, Mom. Be ready to bring me back in the house. |
Sam: To Monty's people?
Mom: Yes, Sam. You see, when I posted a plea for the loan of a harness on Facebook Friday, AZGRC got together and made sure you had a harness. Not only that, Lisa made the drive to meet us and spent an hour helping me fit it on you.
Sam: She adored me.
Mom: Everybody adores you, Sammy.
Thank you everyone at Arizona Golden Retriever Connection for helping us this weekend with recommendations on which harness is the best, sharing our request on Facebook, IMing us, and taking the time to make sure Sam was comfortable in his borrowed harness. This is just another one of those moments that makes AZGRC so much more than "just a rescue". We feel so blessed to be part of this wonderful group and to call all of you our friends. We knew you were so much more when Monty became part of the family, but you all have also made such a difference for Sam in the last couple of days. Thank you so very much!
Your mom is going to get some good arm muscles but we are so glad she is able to help you
ReplyDeleteA harness helps Lee too. Sam's is much cooler than hers!
ReplyDeleteWell, my mom and I always do say and paw

Hey, Sam, you'll love your harness. Shortly after I got my lifting harness I took Mommy on a hike and convinced her to use the harness to help me get down a 4 foot drop to Lake Michigan where I promptly rolled in a HUGE pile of dead fish.
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat looking harness. What a great way to be able to help Sam get around.
ReplyDeleteSam, you're a lucky guy to have your very own service human, and that harness looks absolutely awesome! We hope your upcoming vet appointment goes great.
ReplyDeleteSusan and Wrigs
Sam you are soooo loved. It's pawsome when the world helps each other out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your human certified easily so she is allowed to accompany you in public.
Sam, I DO adore you! You are very charming!
DeleteSam, I DO adore you! You are very charming!
DeleteSam, I DO adore you! You are very charming!
DeleteWhat a coincidence, we just outfitted our new foster girl Taylor with the exact same harness--I love it, and it's so easy to help get her around. We were told to be careful that it can cause hot spots, so she doesn't wear it all the time, but it's easy to get on an off so that's okay. Let me/us know how you like it, everyone I know that has used it, raves about it!
ReplyDeleteOh Sam! Your harness is awesome! Not every pup gets their own rescue/service MOM!!! Sounds like you're doing great!!!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs xxxxxxxx

Your very own service human...that is cool cool Sam. You look great in that harness. Keeping you in my prayers my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Oh there are some wonderful humans out there, aren't there.
ReplyDeleteThat's such good news that you have the harness and can get around....with a little human help. We hope your knee heals very soon (and we think your mama does too.)
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Sam,
ReplyDeleteYou sure look sporty - like you're going parachuting or hanggliding or ziplining or some other fun adventure! That's fantastic that you've got a service human.

So happy you got a helpful harness, kind momma and wonderful friends! We used an old fashioned TOWEL to support our Golden, Rosie, when she needed it. I didn't know about these harness options!
ReplyDeleteThe harness looks great, Sam looks like an action hero! So glad the rescue helped you find and fit the harness. Hope Sam is feeling better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are able to get around with mums' help Sam. Onwards and upwards. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
What a wonderful harness! Mom only has the sling thing. This is 87 times better!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
WHat a wonderful group to help you out. I'm glad Sam is getting some help.
ReplyDeleteOH Sammy, if you want to tell people you are going parachuting, we won't let anyone else be the wiser! Glad you have your own service human to tend to your every need. A great support group you have there too. Stay cool Sam!
ReplyDeleteThat is WONDERFUL... now you can get around.
ReplyDeletePetSmart University and Stuffie Distributorship probably has a Class fur getting your mom CERTIFIED as your personal HELPER HUMAN... She would get a super VEST to wear when she graduates.
I love this, Christine!
ReplyDeleteGlad Sammy is being helped, sure glad Mom volunteered to be you humom service tool. We bet them rabbits were real, sometimes the Mom's just miss things.
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Sam, it is great to hear from you. So happy for Sam.
ReplyDeleteSam that is a wonderful Service Human you've got there. The people in Golden Retriever rescue are such generous folks.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great service human and a great rescue! I've said it before and I'll say it again - not all rescues are created equal - some just have that extra something that makes you know they really are in it for the animals and that rescue is one of those special ones! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that was so nice of them.
ReplyDeleteSam it's just super that your mom found such nice folks to help you out...Bet it makes your life easier now
ReplyDeleteThe harness looks great, hope it helps
ReplyDeleteYou're stylin' now Sam. Don't let my Lucy or Sable see it or they will want one. Anything to make it easy on their arthritic bones.
ReplyDeleteSam I'm glad you're so loved!
Sam - you have wonderful parents and friends. We love you buddy! Newton's Family
ReplyDeleteSam, our Quinn has a stylish harness like that that he wears when his back end issues get overwhelming. You have a most loving family who will help you get through this with dignity and courage. Mom should take you to the stables and let you water exercise in a horse trough...really helped Quinn keep his back leg muscles stronger. And laser treatments and massage both extend your ability to use your legs.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping this meant you were going to parachute in to see us!
ReplyDeleteThat is really wonderful. Rescue groups ROCK!
