I’m trying to pull some positive out of todays experience of having to put our cat Sammi to sleep. His life was cut short before he even made it to his 3rd birthday. He truly was our 3rd child. He was more human than cat and he touched our lives deeply. It is my wish to touch lives as deeply as Sammi has ours. To pay tribute to Sammi, I’ve created a short video of some of his outrageous cat tricks, and to pull some positive out of today’s experience I’m going to hold a “In Memory Of Sammi Sale”. I’m reducing each of my three products prices to $27 Until December 3rd at 12pm EST.
In the short clip below you will see Sammi the cat play fetch with a mouse, leap up in the air for a mouse, spin in circles after a laser light, and many other adorable things. Thank you for taking the time in sharing some very special moments that are very near and dear to the hearts of my family…
I have never held a sale for my products and I’m pretty sure that I never will again. I’m very emotional at the moment and just feel like doing something to take my mind off of the pain and loss that I’m feeling at the moment.
Visit the links below to get any of my products for $27 each…

The sales buttons still say $47, but the price that you will pay is $27.
I was going to be making a special announcement next week, but now feels like the time to share some exciting news with you.
I’ve been busy revising my products. I’ve added a full extra year of workouts to The Fit Chic program that take 10 minutes or less each. They are very quick and intense and can be done in the comfort of your home.
I am just about done doing the exact same thing to The Fit Bastard program. As well I am in the process of creating a great take action book for all the Unstoppable Fat Loss audios to help people make the most out of the experience.
I’ve also created support communities for each of these products. So now all of you can share your experiences on the program, support each other, celebrate successes together and more.
Plus I’ve uploaded videos of many of the workouts in The Fit Chic community and will be adding more, as well as doing the same for The Fit Bastard. Unstoppable Fat Loss also has videos included in the community and I will be adding other great bonuses in there too.
And the last bonus for purchasing my products is the option to have me create a personal blog for you to document your journey to fat loss success and hold yourself accountable along the way. Plus you will be able to receive support on your blog from people outside of the individual support communities.
I will be monitoring all of these to ensure that you succeed on my programs. I’m willing to go above and beyond in order to make your experience with my programs the absolute best that they could possibly be.
I just want you to know that I’m here for you every step of the way.
But enough about the salesy type stuff. I would like to share a few more photos of our amazing cat that touched our family so deep.
This is a picture of Noelle and Sammi. These two were inseparable. Best buds. Sammi was such a big part of Noelle’s life and always will be. They shared many laughs daily and he was so darn patient with her.
This is a great shot of Shayne and Sammi. Shayne was always asking us to take his picture with Sammi. Shayne always got a kick out of seeing Sammi do wild and crazy tricks.
Last but not least, this was Sammi dressed as a clown on Halloween. Did I mention how patient he was. If only you could see all the pictures that we have of Noelle playing dress up with him.
Sammi you are in our hearts forever. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
And thank you for allowing me to share this moment with YOU.
Cherish each and every moment that you have on this planet and cherish those around you.
Have an absolutely amazing day!
Scott,
To people without a pet(who used to be me), they would say – Just get a grip and get over the death of the pet – man, it’s just a pet. Until you have one(or two puppies) like we do and they become such an intergal part of the family, it is truly like the death of a family member you have grown up. My heart is with you and your family, we lost one of the two doggies we had original and it left this hole like I could not begin to understand as a man. I, the one who did not want to even have one pet, immediately and got a sister for the male puppy. It’s been four years as of this month, and the new puppy is really a part of the family and could not imagine life with out her, but I still think about the one that we lost. I know this is really silly to someone who does not have a pet but hey, to me it is real. My heart is with you and your family for this loss.
Thanks for the offer of the sale for your products and I will purchase one, but want to wait to see if I was one of the winners of the November contest. At that point, I will not have to purchase or will purchase it.
Again, my heart and prayers are with you and your family for your loss.

To Scott and Family,
So sorry to read about Sammi’s early departure…
It is very hard to put a young pet to sleep.
We have a cat named Sammy Boy. But we also call him ‘800′…
You see, we heard him crying in the woods next to our backyard tennis court.
There was a big tractor/bulldozer clearing some land.
I guess he was a very young stray, and obviously had some kind of bad leg injury.
So we took him to the vet… Man, that doc gets a lot of our money keeping our ‘pet family’ in shape! :-0
Scott, it turns out he had a severe, multiple compound fracture of a hind leg! I took the x-rays myself at my chiropractic clinic.
The prognosis was not good… and the vet bill was going to be “muy caro” (very expensive, in Spanish)!
Surgery, a giant metal rod sticking out of his leg and hip, and no guarantee of survival…
I told my wife.
She asked, “How much does Richy-Rich the Vet want?”
I shook my head, “$800 dollars”…
We both looked at each other and said, ” We’ve already got 5 cats and a dog. We don’t need any more.
We’ve never even seen this cat before!
I don’t see how his leg can even heal. His femur is in 3 separate sharp pieces… they aren’t just fractures!
I’m not spending $800 dollars on some stray cat… I’m sorry.
I agreed…
“Michael, tell him to put the cat to sleep.
I don’t want to tell him, honey… you tell ‘em…
I don’t want to be Doctor Death… well, me neither…”
So Scott, as I’m sure you have guessed, we ponied up the $800 cashola, and saved our Sammy Boy…
He looked like Frankenstein for a long time with a shaved leg and hip, ugly, ugly stitches, and that hideous stainless steel rod that stuck out of his hip about an inch.
And he lived indoors, so the other cats couldn’t mess with him.
Two years later, and he doesn’t even have a limp! Wow!
He lives outside, messes with everything, and jumps without any trace of pain.
We even got to totally remove the steel rod from Sammy’s leg and hip.
Scott, again, I’m sorry for your loss…
I cried when I had to put our old golden retriever/labrador to sleep from old age and heart failure after 12 years. She ran over 5,000 miles with my wife and I on our many jogs and races.
Remember… Time Is a Healer, of All Hearts That Break…
Scott, I hope the Sun shines again soon for you and your wonderful family…
Your Friend in Texas,

Hey Dr. Mike,
Thank you for your heartfelt response. The sun will definitely shine. The memory of Sammi will provide us with the light.
I would have paid and done anything to keep our Sammi here. We actually paid $1200 to try to save him, but it wasn’t enough. I would have gladly paid more than that to keep him here.
Your $800 investment in your Sammy Boy has most likely been paid back to you in more ways than we can imagine. I’m sure that he will continue to touch your life in many ways.
It’s great to have so many wonderful pet owners as my readers.
Keep up your great work at spreading the message of health and the enjoyment of life Dr. Mike.

Thanks for sharing your story Allen. It can be difficult for non-pet owners to understand the connection that we have with them.
I was blessed with an amazing cat growing up. Sammi reminded me of him. But Sammi was definitely unique and is greatly missed.
The difficult part is that he was so young and we feel robbed of our time with him.
But at the same time we feel blessed for the time that we did have with him. Man it’s such a rollercoaster ride.
We are going to go look at some cats today. We realize that we just have so much love to give and that there are so many pets that are looking for a good home.
Nothing can replace Sammi, but we can love another cat just as much.
Thanks again Allen.
By the way, I appreciated your comments for the contest. Rebecca won this one, but there is always another chance to win each month.
Keep up the great work.

Scott,
that was a great video. Watching Sammi chase that red light made me laugh so hard. Losing pets of my own I know how you and your family feel. My heart goes out to you and your family.
