Visitors to this page have seen images of the various members of my family, which I consider to be of the highest order of earthly blessings. It is a family I know I deserve, albeit for reasons I find myself unable to name. Insofar as it is true that as we walk life's brief, circuitous path, we and our families seek and find one another, I must believe that the intersection of "Sammy and Me" arose one afternoon where Wilmington and 124th Streets of L.A.'s Watt's section conspired some greater arrangement than either of us knew, and our family has benefitted immeasurably. "Slammin Sammy" is the second great dog to introduce himself to the adult version of me. Our family was five for nearly two years, but rest you, with Sasha's passing,
the canine component of the clan is well-in-paw.
You will eventually read all about the Sammy saga in the forthcoming children's book, "Sammy Gets to Stay." It is a follow-up to "Sasha Gets to Sail," a story for which I've just recently completed the illustrations, and hope to make available for reading, and purchase on this page. You may notice the allusion to this title in Sasha's obituary, "Sasha Gets to Heaven." The third story in the series -- "Sasha and Sammy See America" -- will be about our cross-country drive of a couple of summers ago, during which Sammy encountered skunks, barked at bison (until one wandered into our campsite), and cowered (along with Sasha) from howling wolves. "Sasha and Sammy Get Involved" is also planned, to teach how kids (and grown-ups) can participate in environmental and animal causes.
