For the Amos Fan Club



Those of you in the Amos Fan Club will be relieved to know that he is feeling great! Who knows if it is the Rimadyl, the addition of Sammy or the soaking in Epsom salts, but his feet are back to normal and his limp is basically gone. He still gets stiff, especially when first getting up in the morning or from a nap, but he is back on the road again for long walks and genuinely enjoying his new role as Sammy's official playmate.



There is absolutely nothing that Amos likes more than swimming--which is especially unusual for a collie. Most collie's avoid water like the plague, but Amos loves it! Perhaps it is because he was raised with golden retrievers (who are essentially polar bears in disguise!) or perhaps because it makes his joints feel better, Amos is very much at home in the pool. As you can see, he is an especially graceful swimmer.





He and Sammy are best buddies and can be seen sharing most toys, even the much loved kickboard!

What can I say? Boys will be boys....all of which means Miss Phoebe still reigns supreme (at least in her opinion!)
