Sampson the Science Service Dog

Ready to rock the weekend! Happy SaturYAY!

Video: Sampson, fluffy white Golden retriever playing in green grass with fields behind him and a garden. The music is a rock tune!

Pax, a black Labrador is in a car with his noses pressed firmly on the air conditioning vent.

Working smarter not harder! When it’s 104 degrees outside, and your house AC has been out for a week, Pax took full advantage of the car AC!

Happy FriYAY! May your day be filled with smiles and treatos!

Video: An Irish Wolfhound, Aragorn and a Golden retriever, Sampson get a snack from Dad while wagging their tails. Dad then smiles.

Sampson, a fluffy golden retriever is sitting on a bed with his head pressed against a persons body. The person, Mom, is wearing a black T-shirt with writing and camouflage pants. Sam has his head pressed against Mons body and is scratching his shoulders.

Early morning stretches and massages for my sore body. Mom says - to care for someone who once cared for you is the greatest honor.

The Muppets are in!

Yes! He does!

Mom, a woman with long gray hair wearing pajamas is sitting casually on a porch and smiling. She has one hand on the leg of a gigantic Irish Wolfhound, Aragorn, to her right, and on her left is another very large Irish Wolfhound, Eowyn.

I am snozzling in! The Muppets got Mom covered!

Success!

Happy FriYAY! Paws crossed Dad comes home today!!

Video: Sampson and Pax standing side by side wagging their tails. Mom says, “Are you good boys?”

Sampson is sitting with Dad on the stairs outside. Dad is smiling.

Dad is having surgery today! Mom already has a plan to smuggle in a milk shake! *cue Mission Impossible* theme music!

New style!

Great form!

How is your Monday going so far?

For anyone who needs it today, I’ll share my Mr. B!

No - they are both service dogs. The Golden is retired after 10 years of service, the Lab is his successor with 2 years experience.

Moooommmmm…… he’s touching me!

We are doing amazing!

Sampson and Mom are sitting on a beach at sunset. They are looking at each other happily and lovingly. The sun is setting between them. Sam is wearing his red service dog vest.

Mom always says:
When we leave this Earth, what will we be remembered for? Our hope:
We made a difference.
We helped someone in need at the time they needed.
We left the places we were better than we found them.
We lived a fulfilled life.
We experienced love.
We were happy.
We were at peace.

Jim is sitting on a front porch step wearing a white shirt and brown pants he is smiling. Sitting next to him is Sampson, a white fluffy dog.

Wishing my Dad a very happy Fathers Day! Thank you for choosing to be my Dad and taking such loving care of all our pack! Plus the xtra cheese and peanut butter treatos when Mom’s not looking!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Thank you!

Perfection!

Saying hello to Mom is always welcome!

Pax, a black Labrador is wearing a red service dog vest and lying at Mons feet be t to a suitcase.

Waiting patiently to board a flight Mom hears a couple behind her.

“Oh! There’s a dog! I didn’t even know it was there!”

When Pax and Mom travel she hears that ALL the time! Pax moves quietly through life beside Mom doing his job, many times completely unnoticed by people.

Cronchy water is the Best! Thing! Ever! You know. Because of the cronch!

Video: Sampson and Pax eating ice cubes and getting love!

Time goes so fast!

Wishing the Muppets, Eowyn and Aragorn the happiest of 3rd birthdays today!

Tail wags, pupcakes, and shenanigans!

Sampson laying in grass looking happy with his friend Mr. B. Mom is holding a cup of coffee in a turquoise mug.

Mom says start your day with a smile, a friend, and a good cup of coffee! I say …. and peanut butter treatos, a walkie, snoozles, and smooches on the forehead!

Not at all!

Sampson is sleeping hanging half off a bed with the covers over his head.

I love sleep because it’s like a time machine to breakfast.
