Sam.

It is with great sadness that I start this blog post. No one ever wants to deliver bad news, and the news of the loss of a best friend is the worst kind. Late last week, Jennie lost her best friend, Sam. If you have been around the yard for any amount of time, you've seen Sam searching for his "mama" between the offices. He followed her everywhere, and he hated when she would make him stay behind. I, Rachel, had to have several tough talks with Sam about why his mama wanted him to stay in the building, and getting out without letting him out was not an easy feat. He loved her so dearly, and that love went both ways. There is no doubt that the yard is going to be different. We will all miss him.
