Aileen, you have me in tears. Your story is very moving to me. I think they were all angels that helped bring Sam to you. You of course are also an angel, giving Sam the happy life he deserves. May you be blessed with years to come with Sam. Loving must add years to lives, you know it will add quality.
 
Bless you for your willingness to take Sam and to give him a wonderful life for however long he may have with you.
 
You are a special person, and Sam deserves nothing less. May the time you have together be filled with sunshine, butterflies, long walks and much cuddling.
 
Ah Aileen.
You have me in tears here. :(
He was such a beautiful boy and i'm so glad he went to such a nice person like yourself. May you bring bring each other many years of happiness.
Bless you, and thanks for posting that lovely picture

The very start of the story was a board member named Kathleen :flwr: (who lurks but doesn't, I think, post) who saw the ad for Sam on an online ads site as an ex-stud dog going for free. She was very worried and emailed me. I rang the number and the owner was happy to have help rehoming him as he didn't want him to end up in a bad place; he kindly drove him some distance to the Roscommon SPCA, which was closer to him than me but still quite a drive for him. I've had a good partnership with the Roscommon SPCA and we've been able to help each other with several dogs now. :) A friend of one of the women at the SPCA was coming to Dublin and brought him to Yvonne, saving me a full day of driving as well. Yvonne, Cecily and Billy took over for the remainder of his Dublin stay then his journey across to Scotland; Paula (Murphy's Mum) collected and took him there, keeping him overnight before driving him all the way to NESSR, who then brought him to Aileen.

I am so grateful to all who helped with this dog from beginning to end but especially Aileen who offered him a home when I was afraid he might not be able to find one at all and that let me set the rescue operation going.

As it turns out, my vet here feels he has a far more promising future than at first was believed, now that he is onto the correct medications at the correct doses and also has a warm, and loving home. I know this dog has stolen the hearts of everyone he stayed with so I know he is extra special as that doesn't always happen.

I hope he has wonderful times with Aileen and her husband and other dogs; it is the perfect home for him.

:)
 
Aileen, your story about Sam is a lovely one, and it really seems like a miracle to me how everything fell into place and all these wonderful people played a part in bringing Sam to you. He is precious, and so fortunate to be carried over the miles to you and your OH. Bless you for giving him a warm and loving home. :lotsaluv:
 
What a beautiful story Aileen. You two make a wonderful pair. Just looking at that picture makes me grin ear to ear!
 
Aileen, you've certainly changed the world for Sam :lotsaluv: and I'm so glad he's changed your world :dogwlk:

Isn't it great when it all comes together!!



:flwr: :hug:
 
Aileen, Sam is a beauty and he looks so well.

He's on good medications and it looks like he's having fun. A lovely story - a dream come true for you and Sam :)
 
I am so happy this little man is getting what he truly deserves. It is amazing what a little love (and the right medication ;) ) can do for a pup, so lets hope that he has a long and happy life. :flwr:
 
Aileen,
I'm speechless, what a blessing for Sam and you to have found each other. And how wonderfully generous of all those involved in his journey to find a new home and of you for loving him. Cavalier people are the best!! This is just further proof. . .

Aileen, it's lovely to put a face to the name now I've seen your picture. You both look like best friends in that picture. :flwr: :flwr: :flwr:
 
Just a bit more about me and my little Sam I had the feeling that my old dog Rocky sent Sam to me to look after I believe that he help me find Barney and also Sam. Thanks everyone but I am not an angel I am just me ---Aileen
 
I just noticed you live in Derbyshire, I've been there twice on holiday, I love it. I stayed in Ashbourne. I went to a weddng in the house they filmed Pride and Predudice in (I think it was that film) and all I can say is WOW! You are blessed to be there. :)
 
Oh Aileen, I can't tell you how Sam's Story warms my heart :drivecar: :l*v:

He deserves the best and looks like he's got it finally. :flwr:
