Samantha aka The Sam Dog!
What could be sweeter then a diabetic pet?
What could be sweeter then a diabetic pet?
| Samantha(aka"The Sam Dog") is a 10 year old Yellow Labrador Retriever
and was diagnosed with diabetes in October of 1998. She weighs approximately 74 pounds now and is healthier than ever. She gets 27 units of Humulin N twice a day and is spoiled by her mom who makes all her food and treats. She is a trooper about getting her shots and having her blood tested. Rarely does she put up a fuss about her lips being poked for blood. I think Samantha being diagnosed with diabetes has affected me more than it has Sam. She has adapted wonderfully to the disease. It has not slowed her down and she still loves to play Frisbee and tug-of-war without ceasing. My life is scheduled around her injection and feeding times. I would not change a thing; she gives me much more than I could ever give her. Taking care of her has taught me sacrifice and commitment to the end. Sam has always been glued to my side, but now I think we are inseparable. It is a huge blessing to come home eachday from work and see her wiggling with happiness to see me. Samantha is a gift I will always cherish and love. Julie Hise |
