SAMMY

[FYI- Sammy is a puppy that was found up behind SECMOL about a month ago. Sammy is short for Samches with means cute in Ladakhi.) He has been adopted as the campus pet and no one seems to know whether Sammy is a boy or girl. Half the campus says boy and the other half says girl. (Whenever a he, she, her, or him is necessary, I'll just say puppy. at least some of the time...)]

Sammy is getting bigger and bigger every day. Every morning it seems like it's a little easier for puppy to reach my knees and puppy's ribs are a little harder to feel. This is a drastic change from puppy's first week at SECMOL. Sammy was this tiny fur ball that could be held with one arm and honestly a bit strange looking. I was a little worried that puppy wouldn't grow into his/her large paws and be stuck with seriously stumpy legs. Puppy was cute because of his size but resembled an over grown guinea pig in many ways. Sammy has stopped wobbling and now runs with a cute little hop.

I wake up in the morning, begin walking to the kitchen and with out fail, I feel a little furry body thump into my leg. This is the greeting I get every morning from Sammy. Puppy paws at my legs and jumps until I pick him/her up and feed him/her breakfast.

Lui's mom, Kandy, sent puppy a toy the other day. Sammy barely puts it down now. Many of the SECMOL boys will pick the toy up with Sammy's teeth still latched on and swing it around. As soon as puppy is set down he/she charges them, begging for more.

Everyone on campus (well mostly everyone), seems to really like Sammy. There are still a few girls who scream and run away as fast as possible when they see Sammy. Other than that, Sammy gets more attention than he/she knows what to do with. This is one loved puppy.
