Sammy’s ‘Lovie’

Sammy 1997-2010

Sammy had a ‘lovie’. 

It was the blanket I made for him.

We tried many dog beds on the market but all he ever did was shred them.

And it got expensive.

So one day I went to the fabric store and got some ‘fake fur’ material and sewed up a very large two-sided ‘bed’ for him.

I didn’t stuff it, as he would have just pulled it all out anyway.

He became very attached to it.

His favorite pastime was dragging it around with him all through the house.

Wherever he went so went his ‘lovie’. 
It was like watching the canine version of Linus!

He was Husband’s dog, so everywhere Husband went, so went Sammy and his ‘lovie’.

If husband went into the living room to sit in his recliner, so did Sammy. He would drag the ‘lovie’ into the living room and then wait for Husband to spread it out so he could lie down on it. He wouldn’t lie down until it was just right!

At night all we had to say was, “Time for bed, bring your lovie,” and he would drag it into the bedroom and wait while Husband spread it out next to his side of the bed!
