Good evening friends.

Tonight we pay tribute to fallen angel named Lola. She had been suffering with cancer for a while now and it was time to relieve Lola of her pain. She crossed the rainbow bridge earlier today.

Lola was 12 year old Yorkie. She was a member of Eileen Seija and family. Lola joined her little mate Sassy who crossed the bridge a few months ago in January.

We originally heard about Lola from our very great friend Cindy Volz. Lola used to play with Cindy’s two Pomeranian’s; Spunky and Honey Bunny.

Sammy & Family wants to thank Eileen for showing Lola a great life for 12 years. There is no greater honor than to ease a pet’s suffering after giving them a life of love. Many a times, saying goodbye is the last loving move left to make. What choice do we have ?  When you love a pet like the way us animal lovers do, how can we not show them mercy when they need it most ?

The world is a better place because Lola was in it. Heaven just gained a new angel free of pain and free to run with other loved ones.

Thank you Eileen for making the world a better place, one animal at a time. Millions of animals around the world never get the love and care that Lola got. Everyone one of us that sees an animal from the beginning of their lives, until the end, has participated in a miracle.

Lola is gone but never will be forgotten. Rest in peace Lola. You suffer no more.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Good evening friends.

Day 430 here in Puerto Rico.  We hope everyone had a very nice St. Patrick’s Day. Today was a really good day. My family and I have a lot of ELS and personal projects going on right now.

It was one of those mornings were I woke up and said to myself, “How am I going to get all this done?” — That is when I hit the reset button and returned to basics. If I don’t do that, I bite off more than I can chew and usually fumble everything. Took me 30 years to learn that lesson too.

Now because I reset my self right from the jump today, I had a productive day.  If you’re wondering how to reset to basics, it goes something like this; First we take deep breaths. We prioritize the most important things we need to get done versus the things that are less imminent. Then we focus on getting that first thing done until we march onto the second task at hand. We will all be surprised at how much can be accomplished in one month when we return to the basics. One foot in front of the other.

I’m not interested in the race in my head. I’m interested in the results of my footsteps, one step at a time. When we hear the word “basic,” we kind of think of it like the word; “beginner” or something. On the contrary, the basics is where it always begins from. Without that, we can’t lay the foundation for the more complex circumstances that life throws at us.

Take Sylvester Stallone for example. About a year ago he turned is life over to Jesus Christ. When asked what his reason and timing of his announcement.  He said; “I have to return to the basics. Anytime I lose sight of the basics, It becomes easy to lose sight of what’s important.

Food for thought.  Sincerely, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Good evening friends.

Day 421 here in Puerto Rico today. Thank you life for allowing me to participate on March 10th, 2016. I find it important to say that especially on days that just went wrong. Today actually sucked. Pardon my French. I hope that was not the case for all of my friends out here.

Life has taught me to remember on days like this that they pass like everything else. And then the suns shines again. And you know what; after a big night sleep tonight, I believe this will pass by tomorrow. The key is not to belabor the point.

OK, so yes, Sammy’s 11th birthday is on Monday, March 14th, 2016. We hope you will come share it with us on “Everybody Loves Sammy’s FB page. If you like. you can post pictures of your dogs, your families, friends or whomever.

Lets close out with Two Positive notions.

1. Someday’s we are off tilt, that’s normal. Those days don’t define us. There will be days like that now and again. Acceptance makes those kind of days tolerable. Simply knowing that they will pass gives us a sense of freedom which sets forth a new attitude.

2. We all get knocked down, but then we get up.  As long as we do that, we have done the right thing. I made a mental contract with myself ; “When I get knocked down, I get up. I never stay down”  — The only way I will stay down is when my time is up. Minus that, we suit up and show up for our lives. Non negotiable.

See you tomorrow friends. Scott Smith for Sammy
