Fur Nephew update (with pics)

[alsame]

Back in September I posted about Samson, the Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy that joined my brother's family. This was him in late September.

He is now almost 6 months old, 55 lbs. He has a very sweet temperament and absolutely adores my niece and nephew.

He is especially focused on my 4 year old nephew. These pics were taken a few weeks ago when my nephew fell asleep during a car ride home. My brother just carried him inside and placed him on the sofa...and Samson soon joined him. My brother said they slept like this for about 45 minutes

3. Wow, they just don't stay pups very long!

He has gotten so big! But what a lovely dog. And the pictures of the dog and child sleeping are great. Good dog!

9. He's growing like crazy! I see him every

3-4 weeks and he's much bigger each time, lol.

4. I love

that breed of dogs. All the ones I've known have always been so gentle and sweet too.
These are adorable pictures of your niece and nephew and of course Samson!

10. Thanks! He really is a good dog, very calm even

around the kids. He's a good boy

5. Wow, he's gotten huge!

They grow up so darn fast. Gorgeous doggie.

I love the photos of the 4 year old and the doggie snoozing on the couch together. So adorable.

11. Thanks. He's going to be 85-90 lbs, so he

still has some growing to do. He already outweighs my nephew!

6. Having the companionship and love of a good dog is

one of life's priceless gems. I had a German short haired pointer that I recued from the pound as a puppy and all the years till she passed we would lay on the carpet together side by side and cat nap. Suzie was wonderful dog. I sure do miss her and Molly, Pete, Ditto, Logan, Rowdy....... The past few of my 59 years is the only time since being born that I have been without a dog or in my life. What is that saying? "They say that dogs don't go to heaven. When I die I want to go where they are."

7. Damn it. Now I'm all misty. n/t

8. ....

My last dog crossed the bridge in June 2012 and I've been dogless since then too, for the first time in many years.

12. That is the cutest thing...

Thanks for sharing. I love pictures of puppies of all species sleeping.

[alsame]

14. Thank you. There is something special about

sleeping babies of all kinds, isn't there?

13. One of my easiest recs ever

Thanks for posting these great photos - they tell a wonderful family story.

[alsame]

15. Thanks for looking. I think all three

'kids' are going to have a very happy life together.

My brother previously had 2 dogs - one passed in 2006, the other in 2011. So my niece only knew adult dogs and my nephew had 2 years with a very senior dog. So this is their first experience with a puppy who wants to snuggle and play. All three are having a great time together

17. Awwww, What a sweet guy! The little white tips on his paws absolutely slay me.

Too adorable. And the kids aren't bad either.

[alsame]

20. Thanks! His paws are so

cute, they look like they've been dipped in white paint

18. Can't tell you how much I love this!

I just love doggies and these pics make me happy!

21. Thanks, I hope they made

you smile
