So much has happened in our lives, I can’t believe it hasn’t even been a week.
My velcro dog is coming back – I have actually had to tell him to “stay” numerous times today, while I have been moving from room to room in the house. We had a guy here helping work on our pool problems (when it rains it pours around here), and I was outside the back gate talking to him for a while. I guess I didn’t completely close the door, because when I opened the gate to go back into the yard, well, hello! There was my red dog waiting for me. Mind you the gate is three steps down from the pool deck which had tools and hoses spread all over it. ACK! I was so proud he made it and terrified at the same time as to what would have happened had he tripped. But he didn’t… I’m sure the pool guys thought I was nuts! We hopped back to the house and I remembered to ask him to “stay” before going back outside.
Our morning walkabouts to the chicken yard are becoming routine. As is the necessity for an afternoon nap. He’s still twitching, but I haven’t heard any crying or whimpering today. I’m hoping that yesterday’s pain was an isolated incident.
In all a pretty good day today. Here is to keepin’ on, keepin’ on.

Much like his days as a SAR dog, Sam is once again showing you the way. Way to go Sam!!
Hey Sam- Keep showing mom you can do it- she’ll get less nervous eventually : )
I do know what you mean- sometimes I would look at what Maggie was doing and find myself going back and forth between ‘OMD what are you doing!’ and ‘wow!’.

Ha! Didn’t think the day after surgery that only a few days later he would be amazing you, did you?! So glad he’s doing so well. And, I promise you that this won’t be the last time your heart jumps into your throat and it most certainly won’t be the last time that he makes you proud!
Hey Andy
This sounds wonderful, yes a little scary but so great. He does know what’s he’s doing and I bet he’s taking his time and taking it easy. Love you 3. Please give Sammy big hugs and smooches from us and a kiss from Millie
I’m so happy to hear he is experiencing less pain and more mobility!!!
A great day indeed! Thank you for upgrading Ray’s blog with a Tripawds Supporter subscription! 🙂
It’s amazing how much progress they can make in a week isn’t it? Keep enjoying the moments with Sam. It is a real privilege to help a tripawd get back to living life to the full.
