Easter Time

Happy Easter Koalas!!
I hope everyone has and is enjoying this small but grand holiday!

I started my holiday on last Friday and I will go back on Tuesday. I got Friday because it was a P.A. day.

This has been the most exciting March break in all my life ...

About two weeks ago my Mom came into the kitchen with a stern face! I was a little concerned about what was going to happen next. Then my Mom told me, "On Saturday you and I are going to go to Peterborough because my friend, Nancy, wants to meet you!" I was quite excited to think I was going to meet the sky-diving lady!!!!!!






I asked Mom if there was any special reason why we were going, and her response was, "Yes! Nancy is going to IHOP in the States and she is not able to have her little Sam with her in the apartment where she will be staying." After she said that, I was getting quite excited! Then she continued, "Nancy wants you to dog-sit Sam for the time she will be in the States!" I was SO excited I started jumping around in happiness! Was I going to be taking little SAM??!!

I went to school so happy and I told one of my best friends who is obssessed with dogs and she got all excited with me! It felt like the days were just creeping by so slowly! FINALLY, Saturday came! When we got to Peterborough, Mom got all twisted up in her directions and it took us at least half an hour longer than we had planned!

When we got to Nancy's sister's place, we were greeted by Nancy carrying a tiny little Sam! I couldn't believe my eyes! I was going to be dog-sitting that wonderful ball of fluff! (Sam is actually 9 years old and will be 10 in August).

When we got back to Toronto, he made himself at home -- he ran from room to room, exploring everything his nose could find! Sunday was a sad but happy day for us all. Nancy was starting on her new journey and we were starting on ours!

Sam has really gotten attached to us, especially me! He follows me from room to room and when I tell him to stay or wait, he just ignores it!! He plays with his toys and gets real hyper when it's about time to go to bed at night. We've gone to several parks and he enjoys it there. Today we went for a short walk on the boardwalk by Lake Ontario. It was quite warm. We only were out for about 15 minutes tops but Sam could have stayed there for a century!!!!!!!!!




Over all, Sam and I have become really good friends. This was the best week for Sam to come into our lives because I had over a week off of school! It might be a little bit hard for him when he finds I'm not home all the time but I'm expecting he will get adjusted very soon! He and my dad are going to be spending quite a bit of time together while I'm at school. My dad just LOVES Sam and Sam LOVES my Dad!

That's all for today and I will tell you more when school has begun again.
