"Down,
stay" in the front yard.
Morning
ritual with Sam used to be getting the newspaper. With a quick "get the paper,"
she is up, out and back with the news
-
in exchange for a jerky treat.
I have long since ended our daily paper, but when
a promotional newspaper gets tossed into the yard, Sam will still run out and grab it
to bring back in the house. Some habits are hard to forget.
She
is about 4 years old in this photo. Eighty five pounds.
