Two visits, one week.


Jeez, I'm getting so bad at updating this! Last week, Wednesday and Friday, Samson had two visits!

Wednesday we went to the hospital. Met some very nice dog loving patients. One lady in particular touched my heart. Right when I came in the room she looked at Samsons vest and started crying and told me she had a Rottweiler named Samson. He was trained to be her service dog because she became wheelchair bound. She did Rally obedience and agility with him, and she was a big advocate on feeding quality food to dogs, being raw or high quality kibble. Samson lived to be 15 years old and really excellent at his service dog job. Another great one was lost, RIP Samson.

Friday he visited his first elementary school. This was for a Humane Education visit. I just talked to the kids about Boxers and what they were bred for, how to properly care for a Boxer and therapy work. At the end the kids got to ask questions, which was pretty funny because most of them were How much did he cost? Where can I get one? Does he do tricks? Does he talk? Is he a pitt bull mix? I show them his high-five and they thought that was the greatest thing EVER!

When they were leaving Samson and I stood at the door and all the kids were petting him on the head. He was such a good boy, fascinated by all the little people. Haha!
