RIP, Sam.

Our weird little shih tzu, Samwise Gamgee, has passed on. When people start doing fireworks, he often gets spooked, finds a place to dig under the fence, and runs. He ran away about 6 times in June, but every time someone found him and returned him. This time, he didn't come back. Animal Control came by yesterday to inform me that he's deceased.

Overall he was a good little dog. Pretty easygoing, and best of all, wonderful with the kids. He'll be missed.
