Six Degrees of Sam

Jules over at Molasses Ain't Got Nothin' On Us recently posted that she had started a new agility class with Bug.    Sam and I used to take classes at the same place, with the same instructor so I told Jules to let her know that Bug and Sam are related and that I said Hello.  Which made Jules ask if my Sam was the Sam who got Katrin at  By My Side and Monty's Training Diary hooked on Cardigans.  He is.  But it also made me think of the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"  where most of Hollywood can be connected back to Kevin thru 6 or fewer movies.

So here goes....

Sam is:
Grandfather to Scout at Simple Things and
Grandfather to Grace at Days at Daybreake, Great Grandfather to Grace's daughters, Siren and Peace and he's in Magic's pedigree too, although I'm not sure where.  I think a Grandfather....
Related to everyone at Tails of Visions
Grandfather to Cooper at My Favorite People Are Dogs
Grandfather to Jenna at Shades of Gray
Great Great Great Grandfather to Monty at Monty's Training Diary (link above)
Grandfather and Great Great Grandfather to Bug at Molasses Ain't Got Nothin' On Us (link above)

Those are all the links I can think of off the top of my head. And no, he doesn't really get around all that much.... :)

    I haven't met Sam, but there must be something about him that I adore as all 4 of my cardis are grandchildren or great granchildren. In fact if you look at Peaces & Sirens pedigree, they are double Sam great granddaughters, Sam is grandpa on both Mom and Pops sides.

    BTW - I don't think I've ever explicitly stated it but, Ginny and Bogey are Sam's daughter and son. Ginny is the only one who has escaped inheriting the tongue.

    Holly - I happen to know that at least 2 of your dogs did get the tongue and one got the propeller tail. Ransom and Bette have the tongue and Bette has the tail too. You cannot escape the Sam genetics!

    Over here at Foggy Bottom(aka Random Thoughts) Sam is Moose, Abbey, Nicky and Justin's great great great grandfather. It most certainly is a small, small world

    Very true Dina. But in residence, none have the tongue. Luther I think got everything else...

    Me too, me too! I don't have a blog (yet) but I have Sam's son Bode, who is also Bogey's brother from Ruby; and Dandy (Ch Fernbriar First Class, CGC)is Sam's grandson via Romeo. Now I know where the tongue (yardlong) and the whirlwind tail come from, ha! Pics of the boys on my website journal and on the Fernbriar website. Love you all!

    Krystal:
    We'll have to keep in touch and compare the boys. Bogey is the Mayor of Tube Town right now. What's your website?

    That sounds great! I'd love to keep in touch. What's Tube Town? Bode is a hoot, all big dog body and puppy brain and he drives poor Dandy nuts. My website is www.riverwomandesign.com
