Sammy's Story
Sammy, affectionately known as Bubs, began each day by rolling onto his back for a morning belly scratch and a loving kiss. From cherished evening walks shared one step at a time to the comforting press of his presence and his big beautiful eyes, this French bulldog brought profound meaning and a love deeper than ever imagined. He was a best friend, a companion, and truly, heart and soul.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
Every morning, the day would begin the same,
I'd whisper "Morning, Bubs," and call out your sweet name.
"Where's my boy? Where's my boy?" I'd say with a smile,
You'd roll on your back, wriggle close for a while.
Then I'd scratch your belly, "There's my boy, that's my boy!"
Your beautiful eyes full of mischief and joy.
A sweet gentle kiss if your little head could reach,
Another day's journey, a lesson to teach.
Chorus
Oh, Sammy, my heart aches to hear your sweet bark,
Eleven and a half years, you filled every mark.
My best friend, my companion, my solace, my guide,
Forever you'll live, deep inside.
Verse 2
Our evening walks were the best time we shared,
No pressure, no hurried steps, no one else compared.
Just Sammy and me, sharing the world, side by side,
No destination needed, nowhere to hide.
Each gentle paw print, a moment so true,
In the quiet of twilight, just me and just you.
Every breath, every scent, a discovery grand,
Together we wandered across the green land.
Chorus
Oh, Sammy, my heart aches to hear your sweet bark,
Eleven and a half years, you filled every mark.
My best friend, my companion, my solace, my guide,
Forever you'll live, deep inside.
Verse 3
I remember your snores, a low rumbling sound,
Curled up at my feet, safe and happily bound.
The way you would follow, a shadow so dear,
Chasing worries and sadness, banishing fear.
A quick little nap on the couch by my side,
No matter the weather, you always applied.
A quiet devotion, a presence so strong,
Right where you belonged, all day long.
Chorus
Oh, Sammy, my heart aches to hear your sweet bark,
Eleven and a half years, you filled every mark.
My best friend, my companion, my solace, my guide,
Forever you'll live, deep inside.
Bridge
Sammy, my heart and my soul are still yours, it is true,
I loved you completely, from the moment I knew you.
You gave my life purpose, a joy deep and vast,
A love more profound than I thought it could last.
Thank you for choosing me, Bubs, for every sweet day,
I'll carry you with me, whatever the way.
Guitar Solo - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Final Chorus
Oh, Sammy, my heart aches to hear your sweet bark,
Eleven and a half years, you filled every mark.
My best friend, my companion, my solace, my guide,
Forever you'll live, deep inside.
Outro - acoustic guitar fade
I can feel you right here, pressing close to my side,
Your beautiful eyes, where my comfort can hide.
"Dad, it's okay," I hear your soft whisper so clear,
"I've got you, and I know you've got me, right here."
Rest easy, my Bubs, run free and so bright,
Bathed in the morning's eternal soft light.
