My closest friends
In recent years I have lost may family members and close friends; however, nothing has been as devastating as losing my best friends...Sampson and Goliath. After interviewing with the breeder, his children, and the puppies we were allowed to select a new family member. While playing with "Big Boy", soon to be Goliath,(head and shoulders larger than his brothers and sisters) we heard a continual scratch on the wall...the scratching was "Mocha", soon to be Sampson, (runt of the litter). We had no intentions of adopting two dogs however after seeing the two puppies play together we knew that we could not seperate them. For the next twelve years they were the twinkle in my eye and the pep in my step! It has hurt so badly knowing that they have gone to rainbow bridge without me and I miss them so much. For the longest time I could not understand why it hurt so much because I had lost so many people in my life and hadn't shed a tear. A friend gave me the answer..."because you allowed them to love you back". As William said "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give to thee the more I have for both are infinite". Sampson & Goliath I shall meet you at the Rainbow Bridge and we shall enjoy eternity together.--
