This is Sammy on the right with his girlfriend Sissy enjoying Christmas presents in 2010. I rescued him from Wayside Waifs in Kansas City mid December. One of the reasons I chose him is because he was very recluse, and he just didn't want to approach any humans at the adoption center. But after I held him, I new he was the one for my Sissy. I was urged to think very cautiously about adopting him because they said he had a social disorder. I asked what they meant, and they said that they suspected he had been abused. That clinched it, I said you just try and stop me from adopting him. After a period of time, he started to show improvement, and after almost 5 years he has turned into one of the sweetest little boys you can imagine. Him and Sissy's relationship is affectionate, and he never shows any sign of aggression! They are living their lives together in my home with access to a big backyard with big trees and squirrels to chase (they never catch one, but it sure is fun to watch), for the rest of their lives! And the best thing is, I was the real winner from this adoption!!!
