Sampson's Page

	Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Sampson, and I'm a Bloodhound. (Everybody say "Hi Sampson"!)

	I was born the day before Mothers Day, 2003. May 10th to be exact. I was the second born of 3, and the only boy in my litter. I have one older sister, and one younger sister. My older sister's name is Ruby, and she's living in Oregon and being trained to find lost people in the mountains. My other sister, Brandy, has gone to be with our Daddy, Bones, and will be trained to find lost people in the Arizona Mountains. That's her on the right, and Ruby's on the left

	Soon, I'll begin my search training. Then, when I get real good at it, I can go out and find people lost in the desert like my Mommy, Pepper. But for now, I'm just a baby bloodhound. The picture on the left was when I was first born. It's funny looking at those pictures now, when I was so little and had tiny ears. Now I have big floppy ears and weigh 15 pounds. And I'm only 7 weeks old!

	I'm now 11 weeks old. The reason I'm licking my chops is because I just finished eating dinner. I love to eat. Maybe that's why I gained 15 pounds in 4 weeks. I'm now up to 30 pounds.

	When I'm through with my dinner, I try and steal some of my Mommy's. She gets real mad and won't share. They tell me that Bloodhounds are selfish, but she could at least leave me a bite or two. She never does, and all I'm left with is an empty dish. She'd better watch out though. The way I'm going, I'll be bigger than her in a few months, and then she better watch out.

	It's hard to believe I'm almost 4 months old already. I went to the Doctors today. He checked me out real good and gave me my shots. I was so good for him, that he gave me a treat and my very first Dog Tag. I now weigh 47 pounds. Other than my Mommy, my favorite thing to chew on is my squeeky toy.

	There's something about my master's easy chair that I really like. I don't sit in it, like people do. I like to lean over the back of it and watch what's going on.

	I still lick my chops when I'm hungry, and since I'm still a growing boy, I'm hungry all the time. I turned 5 months old a week ago, and I weigh over 60 pounds

	Over on the left is me and my boy, Tony. He came home from college, and has become my favorite chew-toy.



	I'm thinking of becoming a model dog. Here's my test photo for "PlayGirlHound" Magazine.



	This will be my story as I grow and go through my training, so be sure to check back from time to time and see my progress. And please sign in to my guestbook, and say Hi.
