My Little Big Guy Rocky

My Little Big Guy, Rocky

Good morning friends.

I was having a Sunday morning talk with my boy Rocky here. He’s my little big guy. He is so big, but a little boy at heart.

This is the park that I found him on November 15th, 2015 living as a stray dog. That was 207 days ago.

Rocky is my best friend. We have very strong bond together. I am so grateful that on a random Thursday, 207 days ago, Rocky just walked up to me, Sammy, Henry and Patrick, and joined the pack.

He just assumed membership to the family. And then as a family, we never looked back.

I love him to death. I think about him all the time when we are out of the house.

I want to thank my little big guy Rocky for rescuing us.

Have a great day friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Poppy Tuesday on June 7th, 2016

Poppy Rocky Tuesday on June 7th, 2016

Good morning friends.

Mr. Pops here. Happy Poppy Rocky Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember, if the Pops and Rocky can make it, anyone can.

The decks were completely stacked against them and yet we’re all here together in Puerto Rico.

OK, let’s kick this Tuesday off with two Positive notions.

1. It’s OK to be upset, it’s not OK to quit.  The caveat here is to make sure its what you really want. If it’s not what we really want, then its OK to fold.

2. Its great to be alive on June 7th, 2016. We have to remember that many people that were here with us yesterday, are no longer us. We owe it to them and ourselves to be grateful we are alive.

Day 514 here in Puerto Rico and day 202 since we rescued Rocky, Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Dr. Harp Seal brought some visual Vitamin C for everyone

Visual Vitamin C

Good morning friends.

Dr. Harp Seal here. Thank you for stopping by. Its such a privilege being surrounded by so many animal loving people from around the world.

So today, the good doctor brought everybody some visual Vitamin C. Its scientifically proven that colors lift people’s spirits. On Monday’s there is no better day than to give people a boost. That’s is why “Monday Mornings with Dr. Harp Seal was created. Its the perfect moment to get a jump on the week on the right foot.

Let’s remember friends, today we are born again. We get another shot to set it straight and pursue happiness. Let’s also remember, a life of “We” is more enriching than a lift of “Me”

We will catch up with you later friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Jeffrey brings us the light

Smiling Jeffrey on June 1st, 2016

Good morning friends.

Its great to be hear with everyone on June 1st, 2016. Another gift today. Good, bad or indifferent, we get another shot to set it straight and to pursue happiness.

Jeffrey decided to swing by and bring everybody a big smile with some beautiful nature behind him. In the digital world we are all in, its very important to connect with nature when we can. Even for just a moment or two, it does wonders for the soul.

OK, lets kick this day off on a positive foot. And then two random data points about June.

Everybody has minutia in their lives, let’s not let it control our lives. Minutia is just stuff we have to deal with but does not define our lives.  Being happy, joyous and free defines our lives. Let’s reach out today and lift someone’s spirits.

Random Data Points about June.

1. June is named after the Roman Goddess “Juno”

2. June is “National Awareness Candy Month”

See you tomorrow friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

In Observance of Memorial Day – 2016

Memorial Day 2016

Good morning friends.

Today we honor and remember those who died in active military service. Although this federal holiday has become the kick start to the summer, family gatherings and barbecues, we mustn’t forget the sacrifices that were made to afford us such pleasures. The price of freedom was and is very high.

Sammy & Family salutes our men, woman and fur-babies in uniform. We would also like to give a big shout out to Emmanuel Enrique Dextre, who served in the military and was gracious enough to have The Army make Sammy this uniform. It is not a costume. This was made for Sammy by the United State Army.

Enrique, if you are reading this, please shoot me an email so we can catch up. My email is; smith7024@yahoo.com

Have a great Monday friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

A nostalgic Friday

A nostalgic Friday

Good morning friends.

We are going with a nostalgic kind of Friday if you will. The ole taking stock of one’s life kind of thing.

This picture takes me back to the beginning of the ELS journey. I never thought in a million years from the time of this picture, we would meet so many great people from all walks of life from all over the world.

What a gift this has been for Sammy & Family. Its the gift that keeps on giving. Kind of like “Time Magazine” only with more interesting stories, lol.

I’m starting to feel a lot better and as promised we’re going to do a belated birthday video for my birthday that just passed. I would have forced it on my birthday itself, but in the name of vanity, i took a pass. God forbid I don’t look my best on video, lol.

Have a great Friday friends. Day 503 here in Puerto Rico. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
