Just A Name Change to Fit the 'Tude

Due to a year of experience and observation, I have been forced to rename SammiBobo, my Japanese Spitz. He is now officially J. Sam which has a very current ring to it although you can take it as fact that he cannot do any rapping at all. J. Sam has a rightful claim to this name because the "J" stands for 'jealous'. With two other little dogs residing here as well as a cat, J. Sam has just not integrated as I had hoped he would. Going through the doggy door J. Sam has to be first, even if tiny Della the chihuahua is only halfway through at the time. I've even had to remove her from the jamb to save her from injury. If I pat the sofa next to me for the cat to come visit, blink, J. Sam appears. Although he is quite small as well, J. Sam is young and very fast and also outmanuevers my little old man, Iyah Dogg, who is approaching 14 years in April. Surprisingly in spite of being knocked aside several times by J. Sam, Camy the Cat still remains a steadfast friend. And then there's the shedding. J. Sam sheds a prodigious amount of hair by the hour or maybe the minute. Most of my clothes resemble angora or maybe mohair material until they detach and float toward the nearest person. I'm sure the people at church, upon returning home. were perplexed to find J. Sam hairs attached to their clothes when most of them don't even own a pet. That's J. Sam, the gift that keeps on giving.

I actually kept thinking I had white eyebrow hairs. I was so glad when I figured out it was only J. Sam transference.
