Samson's Baby Picture

All I can say is "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!" This arrived via e-mail this morning. It's a good thing, too. The said Samson, now 11 months older, chewed a Chi-size hole in the center back cushion of the leather sofa, and shredded my new magazine before I could read it. Don't say there's no such thing as angels. Somebody is watching out for his scrawny little hiney.

Meet Samson Ledger, Pico's New Sidekick

This is Samson Ledger, aka Sam, aka Sledge. He's Pico's new sidekick and the newest member of our family. Sam arrived with us on December 27, 2008, at 4 pm. He'll be a year old on January 14.

Sam is the strong, silent type--hence the name Samson Ledger. The Samson part should be obvious. The Ledger part is a tribute to the late, great strong, silent type Heath Ledger, in his role as Ennis Del Mar, in Brokeback Mountain.
