Happy Dog of the Day to you, Mr. Puff-Puff! Oh, what a stunningly handsome boy you are, Nook! Your thick, fluffy, snow white coat is simply gorgeous! Yep, I too can see how you got that adorable nickname! And oh how the kids in the neighborhood must love diving into that soft, plush coat, giving you big Sami sized hugs; your a kid magnet, for sure! And oh, what a heart melting photo of you all decked out in your Christmas themed neckwear! You remind me of a canine Santa! hehe

I'm so, so sorry it took you so long to find your forever family, Nook; being 20 lbs. underweight speaks volumes as to just how badly you were neglected and abused! To think you didn't even know how to play, is heartbreaking!! (My rescue Husky Cody was like that when we adopted her, too, until my Lab Jingles taught her how to have fun!) Thankfully you found your guardian angel in your fur sister Rachel, and with a little time, patience and lots of good food and love, your true inner spirit, that Sami spirit, was finally able to shine, with nothing but happy, carefree, love filled days to look forward to! What a blessing it was that you and your family should find one another; yours is a match made in heaven!

Big Sami sized hugs and lots of kisses to you on your much deserved day of honor, beautiful Nook! I wish for you and your wonderful family; your skin sister and guardian angel rescuer Rachel, brother/mentor Chris; your Pugglie pup pal and the Tabby twins (and of course your Mom and Dad, hehe), the happiest Dog of the Day, a very Merry Christmas, and many, many more wonderful years together!
P.S...We live in the Poconos and maybe one day we'll be lucky enough to run into you, at the lake, on a hike...somewhere up the mountain!
