This is an American Eskimo not a Samoyed. See the very prominent ears, long snout and bald head. Please stop misleading people. Thanks

Hi blasaingurl85

This has been a wonderful thread, from the very beginning till the end (will there ever be an end to it). You've really shown yourself to be someone who can be dedicated and responsible to the cause for which you pursue.
And I must say, you've given me a new found inspiration to invest in my love for dogs and do right by nature by owning more dogs and helping them grow into sociable individuals (in the dog way).
I have just one Samoyed at the moment; Anny and she stays with me in my apartment of campus in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife. Hoping to get a rottweiler in the next 2months, and I hope that turns out a rewarding experience.
Shadow's diary has been really inspiring and educative. Now I know how to treat an older dog when i get one, what type of food to invest in, the importance of food scheduling et al. Safe to say, your mistakes and successes as detailed here will help a long way in conditioning and improving the lives of several dog lovers/owners who have also been captivated by this thread.
I sent you a BBM invite, I'd love if you accept it as I always like to connect and learn more.

LordRegalia, I must say your own comments have been educative too. I'm falling in love with dogs all over again. And yes, been the Alpha is just a necessity if one wants to get the best out of his canine companion.

Have a nice one people. Let's work together to make the world a better place ... with dogs in it.
