My favorite childhood pet was Sam

Response to Pet from my Past

aka Sampson of Carrollton, as his papers read. My grandmother, Mimi (a Renaissance woman for sure), spent some years breeding Cocker Spaniels; she gave Sam to us on my 3rd or 4th birthday -- I still remember first seeing him with a big red bow around his neck on our porch on Leonidas Street (not far from Carrollton Lumber and Wrecking). Sam was a loving, mild-mannered, well-behaved, and intelligent creature who never hurt a fly but did accidentally scratch a friend (she remembers that to this day). Sam's temperament was so easy-going that he wouldn't retaliate after my Easter chick (another favorite pet from my yout) grew into a rooster who would fly and pounce and try to spur Sam. After a couple of attempts, that rooster was carted off to the hinterlands of Metairie when large plots of land were more common than suburbs and shopping strips (but I already told that story at least a few times).
