[Sausage Neil @NeilSausage]

Hello fren. I’m Neil

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

I met my guy online in Oct 2003. Met in person the first time 12/27/2003. I moved back to Cali from AZ in Aug 2004. We then moved to NE Texas end of 2008. We're committed to each other and our doggos. 💖🐕

[Sampson the Service Dog @sampson_dog]

Our family is a strong, tight, love filled, communicate always with respect type. Mom spent nearly every hour with Dad at the hospital, falling asleep across his lap with him holding her in the hospital bed. Even recovering he offers to make her coffee or care for her. She makes him special meals and ensures he is following his doctors orders. They make each other laugh, even though Dad has to laugh quietly because of his throat surgery.

Dad has cared for Mom without hesitation and Mom does the same.

They snuggle all us puppers and there are no raised voices, or disrespectful actions or comments. Ever. Just love. Even when they are apart their actions convey to everyone around their love and commitment to our family and each other.

Great relationships don’t happen because of the love you had in the beginning, but how well you continue building love until the end.

We should all strive for this type of love and compassion.

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

Sorry to hear about Jasper. It's never easy to lose a furbaby. We lost 2 last yr, Mei Mei (11) in July & her Grandma Tippy (14 1/2) in Oct. May your memories bring you comfort. Thank you for sharing him with us. We'll miss him. Sending a hug from me, sniffs & licks from our 5.💖

[Vinnie & Toby❤️ Jasper🌈 Hartson🌈 @CancerDoggy]

Our beloved Jasper went for his final sleep this morning. Our hearts are broken. He was the centre of our world. A smile that guaranteed him sausages and lit up the world around him. He smiled until the end and did it his way. I’m not sure how we live life without him. Sleep tight little man. 💔😢🌈

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

So sorry you and Pax had to deal with that. Totally uncalled for. He knew he was in the wrong. That's why he ran off in a hurry. SMH. Wonder if they have video surveillance to turn him in. 💖🐾🐕

[Sampson the Service Dog @sampson_dog]

Something we haven’t shared but still makes Mom angry!

While on the rental car shuttle at @BWI_Airport a man “booted” Pax. It was not a true, hard kick, but he intentionally made contact with his boot forcefully and pushed Pax - not once but twice. It was a kick of sorts. Mom was furious and yelled at him - “Don’t kick my dog!” The man responded, “I was going to but didn’t.” Implying he would have truly kicked a dog.

Everyone was exiting the shuttle and there was little room to move. Mom and Pax were waiting to get off the shuttle like everyone else, and Pax was blocking the man’s exit, just as other people block the exit of others waiting. The man, with no reason other than travelers frustration and true evil intent, kicked Pax. Would he have kicked a person? Unlikely.

Seeing Moms anger he grabbed his luggage and bolted off the shuttle. Mom, leaving her luggage on the shuttle, exited with Pax, trying to catch him, yelling she wanted his name, and his information, that it was a crime in Maryland to assault a service dog. The man ran from Mom, he disappeared around a corner and Mom couldn’t catch him, and a nice couple got Moms luggage from the shuttle before it left.

In all states except 4 it is a criminal offense to intentionally interfere with, assault or injure a service dog.

In Maryland, intentionally harming a service animal is a criminal offense. A person who interferes with, injures, or harms a service animal, or causes another dog to do so, is guilty of a misdemeanor. This could result in imprisonment and/or fines. 

A person found guilty of harming a service animal can face up to two years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $2,500, according to Maryland Code and Court Rules.

Additionally, the person causing the harm can also be held liable for treble (three times) the amount of actual damages suffered by the service animal's owner, according to the Animal Legal & Historical Center. This includes costs like veterinary fees, temporary replacement dog costs, and attorney fees. 

Pax was ok, it startled him and angered Mom. There are truly awful people out there, but truly good people too. Thank you to the nice couple who got Moms luggage and waited for her to return.

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

I've had to send two over the Bridge. Daddy Chompers on 2/2/22, Doberman/Irish Wolfhound, my lovebug, & protecter. I sent his daughter Mei Mei over 7/19/24. Both had cancer & 3 months before they turned 11. I stayed with both of them for awhile afterwards. Have their ashes.💖🐾🐕

[Fesshole🧻 @fesshole]

Vet here, if you bring in your beloved pet for it's final time and you walk out of the room, we do judge you, the fear in that pets eyes when you leave it is worse than the actual euthanasia. I waive the fee for owners that stay. It's not often enough though.

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

I do but back pain has kept me from doing it lately. 💖🐾🐕

Can I get a boop😏

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

I put our dog's meds in peanut butter or in a piece of Little Debbie Peanut Butter Creme Pies. I eat part of a cookie with my meds, so it's not on an empty stomach. With 5 doggos staring at me, I don't get much of the cookie, lol.

[Sampson the Service Dog @sampson_dog]

When I was younger I was with Mom through all her medical appointments and she held my paw when she got shots. Now, since I’m older I get shots every month and check ups, she comforts me when I get shots - of course so does peanut butter!

Video compilation of Sampson happily getting checked at the vets and trying to get the peanut butter jar.

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

Yes, I know it's a different DIL, lol. Thank you. I'll go online and pre-order one.💖🐾🐕

[Sampson the Service Dog @sampson_dog]

@ByChanceMorgans Mom says it must be a different DIL! 😂 we can pre-order the book through Barnes & Noble, arrival date won’t be until around Aug 26th which is our official publication date! https://t.co/RBZv0ZrOyy

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

My ex-DIL was Joey Adams. Can't wait to read your book. Where can we get one?💖🐾🐕

[Sampson the Service Dog @sampson_dog]

"If you find a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
~ Toni Morrison

....and we did!

Mom could have used this book when her journey started. We sincerely hope that this book will provide hope and inspiration to anyone looking for it, and also, simply an enjoyable read.

[Mary Barger @ByChanceMorgans]

Nice boots. You're such a cutie.💖🐾🐕
