Since I introduced my newly adopted Eskie, Samson a moment ago, I figured I better give my little princess Violet her own post too. After all, she was here first, and I’m pretty sure she considers Samson her new dog. 😂

This is Violet, my 7-year-old American Eskimo Dog and the reigning queen of our household. 👑 She was the standout of her litter and I even showed her a little when she was a puppy. She’s beautiful and she knows it, but what I love most about her is her personality.
Violet is incredibly smart, confident, expressive, and has always had a mind of her own. She loves going to the beach and playing in the waves, can figure out puzzle toys ridiculously fast, and has absolutely no problem letting me know when she thinks I should stop whatever I’m doing and pay attention to her instead. 😂

She’s also taken her role as Samson’s big sister very seriously. When he came to live with us a couple of months ago, Violet wasted no time teaching him the household rules and showing him how things are done. Watching their relationship develop has been so much fun. They have very different personalities, which is one of the things I’ve always loved about this breed.
Violet is my beach buddy, my supervisor, and my princess. ❤️ She has that classic Eskie combination of beauty, brains, sass, and devotion, and life would be awfully boring without her.

So Samson may be the new kid getting lots of attention lately, but make no mistake… Violet still runs the show. 😂👑🐾

I adopted this little guy two months ago. His name is Samson, and he’s 6 years old, but he still looks like a puppy! 🥰

He’s my fourth American Eskimo Dog and has quickly learned the rules of the house from my 7-year-old female Eskie, Violet. 😂 It always amazes me how each of my Eskies throughout my life has had such a distinct personality. No two have ever been the same!
Samson is sweet, charming, a little goofy, and is settling beautifully into our family. ❤️

His story is a bittersweet one. His previous owner is an elderly man who is now in hospice care and was no longer able to care for him. He had Samson since he was a puppy, and Samson was his sole companion. It’s incredibly sad that they had to be separated after spending six years together.

But Samson definitely hit the jackpot with his second chapter. He’s now surrounded by love, has an Eskie sister to keep him in line, and is absolutely thriving with my husband and me. We feel pretty lucky to have him, too. ❤️🐾
