Sam Houston....Livin' It Up In California!!

We're posting this report from Ken Larson who adopted Heinrik, now Sam Houston (paying homage to where he was rescued!), and drove from his home in California to pick Heinrik up from MSRH! Wow!! Here's what he had to say:
"Today was a wonderful day with Sam. He woke me at 4 AM ( 6 AM in Houston ) so I was up and out walking him in robe and slippers....Good thing it was dark! Later in the morning we took a walk and ended up at the top of the hill behind my house. We followed deer trails back down the hill home. Sam saw a 6 point Buck, Doe, and 2 yearlings on that walk. Next we went to town where he met some of my friends and his groomer. In the early evening Sam found the baseball....he grabbed it right away and play was on! After about 5 minutes, a neighbors 6 mo. old pup can running down the hill and the two of them romped for about 15 minutes until it was time for the pup to go home. Then more ball and some pictures. The picture is of Sam drinking in my back yard stream near the hill we climbed down this morning. I hope that you enjoy these and please feel free to share them with all of your MSRH friends. Sam and I are in love....what could be better! Thank you and MSRH, Ken"

I'm a Sooner?

My name is Raphie, previously Ralph, and my mommy and daddy adopted me about a month ago. Their little angel Sophie died and my sister Zoie was lonely, so they found me! I love my new home, I get to wear this funny looking jersey every Saturday while mom and dad watch some game on TV and then yell at it, which kind of freaks me out, but whenever something good happens they rub my head, pick me up and give me lots of kisses, and then they say "you're our little good luck charm!"
My sister Zoie is such a joy, we run around our big back yard, chase the birds and bark at the neighbors dogs. Sometimes mom and dad take us to the dog park where there is lots of dogs for me to play with. When I am a good boy I get a treat, and sometimes a new toy, there are toys everywhere in my new home, its like a toy store for dogs, only mom makes me pick them up before we go to bed.... sometimes I sneak them into my crate and play with them while mom and dad sleep!
My new home is a really great place and I love my mommy and daddy so much that when they are trying to work or do something besides play with me I sit and whine until they put me in their arms!
