Update on Sammy- he's 15 months old and 55 lbs now. What a love too- he's so sweet and such a good boy! Here he is with his best kitty buddy , Hera, a foster kitten we ended up keeping...He loves her and she loves him.
Now it kinda looks like he has some Golden Retriever in him. Still could have beagle in him with the speckles and marking on the feet and legs. The fuzzy toes, tail, leg feathering and skirt look so much like a Golden Retriever teenager. But that face - so adorable, but not like a retriever at all.
Sounds like he is growing up fast. Such a good boy!
