Sampson & Delilah: Then & Now
My husband and I frequently refer to Sampson as “the glue that holds the kitty family together.” He is by far the gentlest soul and loves everyone. And everyone loves him too. He is Delilah’s best friend, Caster’s best friend, Sophie’s best friend, and he sure would love to be Sassy’s best friend (too bad she doesn’t feel the same).
His very first best friend was Delilah. When we brought baby Sampy home from PetSmart, Delilah was furious with us. Until then, the we had been the Three Muskateers. She couldn’t believe that we had ruined that. The funny thing about it though was she LOVED Sampson. They became inseparable almost immediately. Still, she stayed angry at my husband and me for a few weeks. It’s understandable though – Sampson is just that lovable! Delilah couldn’t help but fall in love with him, despite her best efforts. So instead, she took her frustrations out on us. We are all way past that now, and everyone is happy. And Sampson and Delilah remain the best of friends.
In continuation of Sampson’s birth month celebration, here are a handful of adorable “Then & Now” photos of Sampy & Deli.
