Morning Meanderings… A Dogs Life
Good morning! It is Saturday! 
Tomorrow I have a 50 mile bike ride in St Joseph MN, a beautiful area to ride bike in and going with my friend Amy so this will be a wonderful time. The weather should be descent, looks like it could hit 90 tomorrow but partly cloudy so that should help. Last year we biked this ride and it was over 100 degrees and not a cloud in the sky…. it was a HOT ride….LOL
For my Saturday snapshot today I thought I would post a few pics of Sam, the stray dog we adopted in April. He is soooo fabulous and quirky…
Bailey and Sam laying together on the deck
Sam, after climbing to the top of the chair, now retreats
Chilling
I am ready for my close up….
I have posted this one before, but it is soooo funny.
It has been a long hard day…
SO that is Sam. Stop by and see Alyce at At Home With Books for Saturday Snapshot and see what everyone else has been taking pictures of! I am off to have my bike checked out for tomorrows ride and then a bike ride to get warmed up for tomorrow. I will be back later as I am behind on a couple posts I need to write up (the survey one and the April, May, June, recap) as well as three reviews. These are my goals for today…. oh, and a little reading too

It looks like Sam has made himself right at home! I’m so glad he found such a wonderful home!
He’s pretty spoiled Kathy, I find bones all over the house… I have never had a dog hide a bone before but my friend told me that if a dog has been short on food in the past they tend to hoard food, in case they dont have it again. That breaks my heart. I find bones, in the blankets, under pillows, behind the laundry basket…LOL
That last photo and your caption are just precious. Have a safe ride tomorrow!
Thanks Kaye – it was a beautiful ride!
Sam is such a cutie!!! Looks like he found a very loving family!
Jen C
I am too
Sam is such a cutie! Looks like he found a very loving home.
Jen C
I think do Jen
There are so adorable!!!! I’m scared to leave my boxer puppy at home alone. She eats everything, and I do mean Everything. But I love her, We have 2 rescue dogs, a chihuahua and our boxer, we are glad we got them. Have a great weekend…
I love that you have rescue dogs! My friend has two rescue dogs as well and she puts her whole heart into them
So glad Sam found you and Bailey. What a pair to welcome you home every day!
Sam goes ballistic when I get home Barbara… crying, jumping…. he wont settle down until I get done to his level and love on him for a bit
Sam looks adorable. Great photos. We do the same thing with our cats. Here’s Mine
Thanks Paulita
Lovely pictures of Sam – and good luck with the bike ride. My Snapshots are at bhttp://chriscross-thebooktrunk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/parisian-pictures-take-two.html
Thanks the ride was fantastic… just a little over 2 hours.
Sam is just too cute. He must have a great personality to fit in so quickly. I can’t believe someone would abandon a dog like that.
Fifty miles on a bike with pedals? It would need a motor for me! lol
I know Leslie, it breaks my heart to think someone did. We left out name and number at the local humane society, at the groomers and the local vets in case someone was looking for him… nothing ever turned up. When we got him he was scruffy and dirty – and so thin! Looked nothing like he does now
Cute pups! I enjoy animal photos.
I do too…. they bring such fun into the house!
Great shots, Sheila! I love your deck and the view you enjoy; you’re so busy, though, that your time on the deck is probably short and sweet.
I do make it out there thought Laurel
I am finishing up commenting here and then out tot the deck to finish the review of the books i want to talk about yet today 
Sam and Bailey are so cute! Looks like Sam has found the perfect home with you and your family.
I think so
We love him and so do my two boys when they come home.
Both pups are cute. I think Sam is totally exhausted. He’s had it. Nothing but snooze for him. Hope you enjoy good weather for the biking.
Thank you – the ride was pretty perfect – hope it is that way tomorrow too
Haha those dogs are acting more like cats!
NO kidding – Sam climbs everywhere… I think he was raised by cats.
They are all adorable photos, but I love the lighting and framing of the first one!
He moved before I was able to take the pic – before that they were both laying there (like Bailey….) it was so cute – that opening they are by leads down to their fenced in area.
Aww, how adorable! Love the first one especially, and the plunge down the chair in the second…
He moved on that one Cheryl, Sam was sitting on top of the chair but I did not get to my camera fast enough
But it worked out–you got a nice action shot!
I love dogs, mine is not doing so well at 13 she is just tired and worn out. I love to watch them play though.
Oh Joy, love on that one. Bailey is also 13, he is now deaf but Sam has brought some life back to him.
Safe riding tomorrow. Hope it’s not as hot for you this time.
It wasnt too bad, we started right at 7 to beat the heat – we were done by noon
Too cute… love seeing life thru their eyes!!
LOL – me too!
What a handsome fellow! And he’s obviously right at home now.
Here’s my Snapshot.
That is true Bev, he is now part of our family
He is simply gorgeous! Hope the bike ride goes well.
Thanks you Marion, the ride was wonderful.
He looks like trouble. In a good way.
Jill… he is…. such a handful – but fun!
Sam has certainly landed on his feet. They both look lovely dogs. I love that last picture!
Thanks Louise, I love that pick too… he knows he is totally safe to sleep here.
Ohhh so so cute.
Sam is so limber!
It’s like Sam is part kitty.
