12 years ago today, I picked up Sam from the Humane Society of Charlotte and brought him to my house.  I will never forget introducing him to Sloan and watching the 2 of them chase each other around my backyard.  Actually Sam chased Sloan.... Sloan was always the chase-ee, Sam was the chaser.  I have pictures from that day that I wish I could figure out how to scan.  Sam's face was all yellow.  Now it's all white and distinguished.  We love you Sam I Am, our 14 year old guy.
