Life and times with Sam

This is Sam about a month and half after we got him. As you can see, he's changed quite a bit since the other pictures! He's learned a lot of basic comands too, like sit, stay and give a paw. Right now were still working on laying down, but it's comming along quite well. You probably have also noticed that in one of these pictures, Sam's ears are starting to come up. For the first little while, his ears were down, and they were down for such a long time, that we were worried that they'd never come up! But a couple of weeks later they stayed up. Just when we thought that they were going to stay up permenetly, they fell again! Since that time, his ears keep going up and down. Currently, we have one ear up and one ear down, but after we taked to the vet, our worries were put to rest when she said that some dogs take longer to put their ears up then others, and that we will eventually see his ears up permenently! Sam's very good with children. When he saw his first child, he stood looking a little shocked! We all think that he didn't know that people could be so very small! Be he's very gentle and sweet to children, playing fetch, and licking, but he's never bitten a child. And all of our businesses customers love him. We've even had some of our regular customers come in stop, look around and ask, "Hey where's your dog?"
