A boy and his dog

Today was the Pet Show at school. I wasn't going to take Samson. He is so big, he gets excited, it is hard to get him in the car, what if there are other dogs and a dog fight breaks out? These are all my fears.
As I was printing photos of Samson, my friend Holly called to see if I was bringing him. Next thing I know, I am loading him up. Cash is asking me are we bringing Samson with a bit of anticipation in his voice. We get to school and it is really pet show time. So I am late as always. Holly is walking out with Rocky (her dog) and says, did you bring him? Hurry up and get him. So I got Samson out we walked into the gym and all the kids ooohhhh and ahhhhed. I walked up to Ms. Alice the director and she was saying a few words. Cash popped up from the sea of kids and came up to stand next to his dog. HE WAS BEAMING. I wish I had my camera. He turned around faced the crowd with the biggest smile. He was hopping up a bit he was so excited. And he was like MOM he is soooooo big!!! I was like yeah Cash you have a really big dog!
Anyway - the whole thing was all but three minutes. Samson sat and shook hands. We said he weighed 170 and that was about it. But teh best thing about it was Cash's excitement and how proud he was to have his Dog there. I am so glad I did it! Now Samson is totally tuckered out and asleep. Snoring...
