A Tribute to Flossie

FlossieGood evening friends. Tonight we look back on a special story.

This is a picture of Flossie who crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge 30 years ago. She belonged to our great friend Margaret from England. Margaret got her as a present for her 11th birthday. Till this very day, this was Margaret’s best birthday gift. Flossie was a rescue from RSPCA. Part of the protocol of the rescue center was to make sure they checked up on the dogs they adopted out. One time when the lady from RSPCA came over to check up on Flossie, she ran under the bed and hid as she did not want to leave her new home. The lady had told Margaret that was a good sign, and she knew the dog was in good hands.

This picture is when Flossie was in her elder years already. And wouldn’t you know it, she won a prize for being the oldest dog in the Wattisfield Dog Show when she was 16.

Another story Margaret shared with us was; after Flossie had been paralyzed for almost two years, one time at a family gathering, she mustered up the strength to walk over and take food off the table like nothing was wrong. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Sammy & Family wants to thank Margaret for the life she gave Flossie. She made the world a better place, one animal at a time. Thirty years later, the song remains the same, we can’t change everything, but everyone can change something.

No lives will go in vain, no pain will go unnoticed. Amen. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
