Just feeling a bit down

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.

It's nice to hear some of your stories about your dogs and how they remember people so well. It now seems silly that I thought he woulden't remember me. Thanks so much everyone. You've all got such positive things to say. ((hugs)) to all of you.

It must be very tough on you being away from your boy but I can promise you he would never forget you! You can rest easy knowing hes in a safe loving home with your dad so hes in the best place for him so try not to feel bad its a situation that cant be helped

That brings back memories of our family dog when I was a kid. He got to come on vacations too and remembered everyone year to year - I think he rather liked seeing them again! Thanks for this reminder.

I'm sorry, I can understand how you must miss him! But, I'm sure he will remember you! I don't think my dogs have ever forgotten anyone, ever, who has given them food!

Imagine how overjoyed Sammy will be to see you!

When I studied abroad for a summer I was afraid that Marta would forget, me, too. But she didn't! Sammy will probably do a cartwheel when he sees you next!

And remember, he's in good hands with your dad!
