Good evening friends.

The gratitude we feel for the love you’ve all shown for Sammy’s birthday today is unprecedented.  I did our best to reply to everyone, and I think might have accomplished that. The comments and thoughts you all shared about what Sammy & Family means to you on a daily basis throughout the year, left us speechless.

It truly makes up happy the friendships we’ve developed with all of you after all the years.  We are so humbled by it.  I learned many years ago, 90 percent of success is just showing up.  What I mean by success is that we have been built friendships all over the world by consistently showing up.  I make it a point to Sammy & Family, that no matter what, we connect with our friends in the morning and we connect with our friends at night.

To me this has never been work, its a pure passion of mine.  I love animals and I love animal loving people.  ELS, Dr. Harp Seal and now The Good News Channel are the directions I want to take my life in.  Why? Because being around all you everyday with a common theme of our love for animals from a positive perspective, that makes me happy.

Many years ago I said to myself we are all the producers of our own movie called “Life”  So it comes down to what movie you want to write for your life.  For me that movie was ELS.  And thanks to all of you, its the best movie I’ve ever seen.

Signing off from Puerto Rico on day 63, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.  Love always, Scott Smith
