Sami was a wonderful pet. She was a black and white Shih Tzu and she was part of the family. She never thought she was a dog. She thought she was a person. She would follow the groomers around instead of the dogs when she was waiting for me to pick her up.  She had such a personalilty. She totally filled our house and now it's empty without her. I told my husband that we really need to move now. There are way too many memories or her there. She will be missed every day for the rest of our lives.  She is in the www.picture.com website under the photographer Marian Wilsey. There is a picture of her at Christmas in 1995 there. My mother entered her in the photography contest. Unfortunately she didn't win but she knew she won with me every day of her life. She died 3 weeks short of her 16th birthday. Goodbye my friend, you  will always be mommas girl and I will miss you and love you forever. love, Mom
