Sam, my 12 year old rescue dog passed away peacefully on October 16, 2012 after a sudden illness. He is survived by his human family of David Fisher, Debby and Trudy Donnellan. He is also survived by his pet companions; Fonzie, Lupe and The Spider. He is preceded in death by Shelly and Hankie. Even though Sam was missing a leg and an eye, this never diminished his love of life, the chasing of Fats the Squirrel (which he never did catch), the gentleness to which he greeted anyone who wanted to pet him or his ability to climb up on something to get his favorite snack or take all the garbage out of the can. Sambo was cremated at Hinsdale Animal Cemetery and his ashes will be kept at home.
