A Mother's Day Tribute

Mother’s Day is only a few days away and it got me thinking about my mommy. I am truly mommy’s “little girl”. She knows I am a doggy but sometimes she just can’t help but baby me. ( I know Caesar wouldn’t approve.) How can she not though, I am just so cute and lovable. BOL She says I am spoiled, but not spoiled rotten. I am a good girl, so she must be doing something right.

My mom loves me very much, and the feeling is quite mutual. She takes very good care of me. She always makes time to play with me and takes me with her whenever she can. I even get to go on most vacations with her and daddy. I have been to Vermont, the White Mountains, Maine and Philly. She does some stuff I don’t like, but I know it is for my own good. She watches what I eat, gives me baths, and makes sure all my shots are up to date. She also buys me lots of clothes which can be annoying. I don’t mind wearing my coat in the winter, but other clothes? (Back to where she thinks I’m human. BOL)

Mommy is probably a good mom because she takes after two very special ladies that I sadly never had the chance to meet. One is my Great Grandma Lydia. She got to live a wonderful long life to the ripe old age of 94. She worked until she was in her 70’s, taking a bus everyday to work and never asking for a ride. She would baby sit for my mom and her sisters and turn the night into a party. She would bring them candy and they would turn on the Lawrence Welk Show, push the coffee table back and dance around. She was full of life and love. She loved visits with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mom says she would have adored me.

The other special woman is the one I was named after. My Grandma Louise. (Hence the Sami LOU). She was my mommy’s mother. She sadly lived too short a life and passed away only a couple of months after mom & dad got married. She was two months shy of her 65^th birthday. Grandma Louise was also full of life and love. Her family meant everything to her, and she always put them first. Even as her children got older, she was always there for them.

Grandma Louise liked to have fun though too. She did this silly thing mom called jazz a size, and liked to bowl. Even starting her own league. She loved to watch the Red Sox and Celtics. Mom says she was a fanatic. She would dress in all green on days the Celtics played and red for the Sox. She had these big earrings the size of ping pong balls that had the insignias of her teams on them. You always knew when a game was on because you could hear mom cheering from down the street.

So this Mother’s Day I will try and honor not only my mom but her mom and her grandma. I know she misses them very much So I will be a good girl and show mommy lots of love. I was going to change my background, but mom says grandma would be so proud of me to be showing my support to the Red Sox

To all of your mommy’s I say Happy Mother’s Day! Wags and Licks- Sami
