February 1, 1989: Twenty-four years ago today, Sam was born somewhere in Oklahoma.
February 1, 1989 – July 20, 2002
We didn’t actually know his real birthdate, but he was about ten weeks old when Allen and I got him in April, so we just made February 1 his birthday. He was a true friend.
Sam was, indeed, a true friend. I remember him fondly!
Did you know all horses with background papers of origin are marked “born Jan. 1st” of the current year? Sam was as well born as a pedigreed pup no matter what his origin so your designation of birth date is appropriate.
He will always be your friend.
