Good News
Poppy Rocky Tuesday on November 29th, 2016
Good morning friends.
Happy Poppy Rocky Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember, if the Pops and Rocky can make it, anyone can.
Life had the decks really stacked against Poppy and Rocky. The odds were almost zero for them having a good life. But those odds pulled through. And they have a great life and they’ve completed Sammy & Family’s family.
Now we stand strong as a unit, as a pack of wolves. Anything can happen on any given day. We just have to stay focused and keep an opened mind and heart. From there, the universe will show us the way.
Day 689 here in Puerto Rico and day 377 since we rescued Rocky. Just 11 days ago was Rocky’s one year anniversary with us. We think that puts him at 2 years old now.
Have a great Tuesday.

Sammy decided to swing by in honor of Poppy Rocky Tuesday. He has brought us a beautiful display of colorful flowers this morning. Colors are known to lift people’s spirits. And on this day of Hope and Possibilities, lifting people’s spirits is in sync with our focus.

Indifference
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
The best revenge is indifference.
It’s a duck, no, it’s a chicken, wait wait, it’s a turkey
Good morning friends.
Say hello to our great friend Rose Chandler and her pet Rosie. This is one of the best people and animal pictures I have ever seen. As many of you know, Rosie is a big time animal rehabber and overall animal lover.
The title of this story is, “It’s a duck, no, it’s a chicken, wait wait, It’s actually a turkey. Incredible story below by Rose Chandler. Story below;
“Rosie is Royal Palm turkey. Two years ago I had a single baby Wood Duck and it was on the verge of dying because they do not do well in captivity or alone. So I googled on Facebook search ducks and Lucky Duck Landing farm popped up, it said they did not open till 8 o’clock the next morning.
At 8 o’clock the next morning the Wood Duck was still hanging on. So I called them and told them I was not a crazy person, I was a rehabber and I have a little Wood Duck that was going to die if I did not find a baby hatchling Duckling to go with it. They told me they would loan me the baby that they had just hatched because they do not normally hatch babies and it was all alone, but when I was done with it, I would need to give the baby back.
Long story short, Lucky Duck Landing farms have been trying to hatch baby turkeys for quite some time. Little did they know, they had hatched a baby turkey. I went to pick the hatchling up and was shocked because I assumed it would be a baby duck and they thought it was a baby chicken. But as Rosie started growing, we both learned that Rosie was in fact a turkey.
Because I have spoiled her so much they could not take her back. They had asked me to just keep as her life would be better is she just stayed put. And because Rosie, that Wood Duck went on to live and she did make an appearance last winter in our canal to come see Rosie. I bawled like a baby when they got together after two years. She has been a mama to all the rehab babies that come thru here”
Now friends, is that story one for the books or what ? — Life is just full of surprises.
Have a great Wednesday. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
Sunday’s are so Grand
Good morning friends.
Thank you for stopping by. Day 580 here in Puerto Rico. It’s great to be alive on, August 14th, 2016. It didn’t have to be this way. Thank God that it is.
This is Vanessa and I at Chili’s yesterday watching the big tennis match. #MonicaPuig
OK, back to this post now. We loves Sunday’s. It by far our favorite day of the week.
Sunday’s are such a newspaper and coffee kind of morning. I have given a lot of thought on Why Sunday’s are called, Sunday Funday. Here’s what I came up with;
Mon through Friday its, work, work, work, Saturday’s we catch up on personal responsibilities, but Sunday’s are the mornings we love most, its the one morning we let imagination in the door and back into our lives.
On Sunday’s we get to be us again, the people we set out to be from the very beginning. Now is there a lot of freedom in that or what ?
Have a glorious Sunday Funday. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
The Magic of 6
Good evening friends.
We have a special group leading us out tonight. From left to right, we have, Penney, Pocket, Mocha, Rose, Charlie and the little guy in front is Mr. Jingles. These 6 lucky fur babies belong to our friend Wendy Foskey.
The three additions to the HERD are Mocha, Pocket and Mr Jingles. They were retired from a kennel at five years of age and Wendy jumped at the chance to give them a forever home.
Wendy and family has 6 dogs and so does Sammy & Family. You don’t see coinkydinks like that very often.
Sammy & Family would like to thank Wendy for making the world a better place, several rescues at a time. Random acts of kindness may not change the world, but it changes the world for the recipients of that kindness.
We’ll see you in the morning friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
