Firstly, Samba will always honour filesystem permissions. This means that you would need to change those permissions first. After that, then you can simply access \\server\sick_puppy much as you already access \\server\well_person. (You should never use \\server\homes, always the 'per user' name due to nasty client interactions). Naturally, if you have 'valid users = %S', then this will get in your way. Or you could just create a shared folder, and have things that are not personal/private in there.
