Samson Simba's New best freind

I am happy to tell you all that i have just picked up a new friend for simba. Let me introduce Samson (Goldnavarm Argonaut).

He is 31/2 years old and very well trained and obedient. This is just a quick photo before he meet simba more photos to come.

He is just settling down for the night as it has been an strange day for them both.

Comment by Kenny Jarvis on April 15, 2011 at 8:30am: We have just got home from a nice long 2 hour walk along the canal. Boy what fun that was for both,I did not take many photos but this is on of the two of them having a break at a lock

Judging from the way they have just crashed out together at home i think they had fun

Comment by Kenny Jarvis on April 16, 2011 at 3:43am: We were not woken this morning by Samson, I think we must have tired him out yesterday with three walks. This morning was the first time he has showed any interest in play with any of his many toys and had a little game of fetch with Simba with a rope toy. I must say that Simba was not too sure about it and seamed a bit reserved compared to how he would normally play but things are looking very promising on the playing front. I am still a bit shock at how well things are going what with no signs of any aggression from either party. What shock's me the most is how well Samson has adapted and has show no sign's of missing his previous owners, you would of thought that Samson has been in our family from the word go. One funny thing was Samson was not sure and had a little grow at my mum and friend when they first came into the house but then preceded to cuddle up next to them on the sofa. We are now going to the beach for some more setter fun perhaps i might be able to spend some time taking some photo's

amazing how much darker Samson's eyes appear now!

Comment by Kenny Jarvis on January 11, 2014 at 7:02pm: Well lots has happened, Samson is a Super model and we now have Rohan too!

We were only discussing this the other night when we were going through some old photos! They seem to change depending on what lighting he is under or if I have used flash in the photos, but they do seem to be darker!

Comment by Laura Kolbach on January 14, 2014 at 5:31am: definitely darker on all the photos i have seen & in real, i am good at seeing such things :)

Comment by Kenny Jarvis on October 21, 2016 at 2:31pm: So this is where we part my friend, you'll run off round the bend.
Gone from me but not forgotten, i’ll never forget all you taught me.
I will go on, i’ll find the strength, life measure quality not its length.
I will miss your dance and warm embrace
And being able to see your sugar face
That little nibble of my nose, that thing you did, that love shows
I know you could not stay another day,to bark, to love and romp and play.
Your parting has left me with a void,that someday i hope to fill with joy.
Tho i will never forget, the memories like when we fist met.
All tho i will miss my cover boy, you just know you filled us all with joy
I hope one day you come to me in my dreams, so i can give you your custard creams.
Run free now Sammy but don’t forget the love for you, that you’ll not get.
Samson 1st Aug 2007-24th Sept 2016
