Hi there, I'm Eileen, proud mum of little Samson, our whirlwind of craziness!! We have had Samson for just under a yeqar now and have been reading the Forum since we brought him home, thought it was about time to join in!! hehe!!
We had been looking into getting ourselves a Staff for some time before getting Samson, but couldn't decide on pup or rescue. Having family there seemed to be pros and cons to both. We still had our thinking caps on when we were told about Samson by a friend. (It was a friend of a friend type situation) She told us that she knew of a couple trying to 'get rid' of a pup and said that we may get the best of both worlds, so to speak. (rescue and pup)
We made contact with the couple and arranged to see the pup.
Arriving, it was obvious that the little mite in front of us would be coming home. He was being kept in the hallway, eating, sleeping, pooping etc. It turned out he had been taken from his mum at 5 weeks, and now at nine weeks, they 'needed it gone'. Without thinking we took said pup and gave him a home.
Many people have said how silly we were doing so, but every dog deserves a good home and we feel that we can give him just that. :-)
Samson had been ill for much of his first year, (Fish Fingers aren't a good diet for a wee pup-previous owners) His immune system was extremely low, but we seemed to have turned a corner and he is in great health.
Everyone who knows him absolutely loves him and he is a major part of the family. He is a cheeky chap and always full of mischief!!
Hope to share all our trials and tribulations and show my wee man off too!! :-)

Yeah, Hedgehog was an ornament. Believe it or not, Samson gets through every toy there is in seconds, but hedgehog is still with us!!! Though, looking a little worse for wear, he is sitting uo high now
