The life expectancy of Samoyed dogs is eight to ten years old, but everyone knows that pampered pets can live longer lives. In our case, Sasha lived until she was ten plus years until she was taken by complications from cancer surgery. Misty lived for seventeen years.
Sasha’s journey ends and Misty goes on alone
Normally when my husband and I went on vacation trips, we left our dogs at home because my dad was home and we could always find someone to walk the dogs each day.

One day, my husband took Sasha for a walk and when he arrived back home, Sasha was missing her dog tags. I don’t know how it happened, but they had fallen off her collar. I went back to the field with my husband to search for the tags. Unfortunately, we didn’t find the tags. I wasn’t too concerned though because I knew that City Hall had a record of us having paid for her license. I never expected it to become an issue. Was I ever wrong about that!

Several years ago, we had a friend named Joseph who is no longer with us. Both my husband and I really liked Joseph. He was a good friend who would give you the shirt off his back. Joseph was a veritable fountain of information. He was in the insurance business, and because of his profession, he had made many, many friends from his contacts. Joseph’s greatest service to his client friends outside of the insurance business was his ability to hook people up who needed something with someone who had that particular knowledge. He knew thousands of people on a personal basis.

One day, my husband and I went to visit my sister in Ottawa. She told us to bring our dogs with us because she had a large fenced in yard from when she used to have a dog. She had a really nice home with a gambrel roof. She lived in a quiet family neighbourhood that had lots of space between the houses and huge back yards.
