This ol girl is Samantha:
Parents brought her home from the pound at 9 months old, the same day she was dropped off.
She understoof commands in Spanish and English, so we are guessing her first family was spanish speaking.
Had her for over 14 years. We had to put her down the November after I left for college.
Thankfully, our neighbors got this one shortly after our's went, and she spends more time at our place than the neighbor's. She runs out to great the folks every time they are out of the house, or coming home, and still recognizes me when I come home.
My wife and I helped deliver her one and only litter of puppies, and picked our own Sierra out the night she was born.
How can you resist?
She is a Springer/Border collie mix, and the only one out of the litter with straight, dark hair.
