Just feeling a bit down

[Vela]

Just a note to the above post, Sammy isn't blind and deaf.....her grandmother's dog is blind and deaf so they thought Sammy, being so young still, might be too much for the other dog.

I'm sorry you haven't been able to see your dad or Sammy since you moved, I know that's really hard. I hope you are able to visit him soon and get Sammy back with you where he belongs! He will never forget you, and he will be just as happy to see you!

(((hugs))) Sam knows how much you love him..I am sure he misses you, too. how would he forget you? you are his owner and I doubt he would ever forget you! I don't think it's very nice of your friends to say he's just a dog. I hate when people say my dogs are just dogs, no they are not "just a dog" they are my kids and part of my family.

I highly doubt Sammy has forgotten you. You're his buddy. How about if you write Sammy a letter....seriously. He will smell your scent on the paper & on the envelope and that would make him happy.

He'll remember you. I've been in college 3.5 years and Autumn still remembers me when I come home. You'll make it.

Hey, you found a computer - good to hear from you! Of course Sammy will remember you! Just think of what a great reunion it will be when you get to see your dad & Sammy again! Will you get to see them over the upcoming holidays?

Thanks for the kind and helpful words, everyone. You guys make me feel a ton better. I think I will write a letter to him, that's a really good idea, elizabethann. Vela, thanks for clarifying that.

cyber-sibes, I got my computer working now, so I've been checking in most days. Yes, my dad will be visiting for Christmas. I'm really excited!
He won't be bringing Sam with him, though.

Thanks again, everyone. I feel quite a bit better today.

I am glad to hear you will see your Dad for Christmas. It is hard moving away from familiar things, especially when not everyone in your family is moving with you. As has already been said, Sammy will definitely remember you. My RB girl would visit some of my family in Florida for a week once a year, and she remembered not only everything about them, but also all of their neighbors. Dogs never forget special people.
