HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMSON!





HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY, SAMSON ~ YOU BIG OLD FLUFFMONSTER, YOU! 


I love this picture of puppy Samson so intent on what Angel has to say. It is one of my absolute favorite pictures.

I posted these pictures last year, together with a really cute current one of Samson, fresh from the groomers. I don't have any current pictures of him, but I want to let you know that he is doing so much better. We walk early every morning, almost. If I look like I want to skip, he asks for his walk and, I, of course, can't say no. 







He was such a cute puppy and has been the best of dogs. Not exactly the best trained, he rarely does what he is told, but tell him he needs to go outside to guard me and he's on it. He truly knows what he has to do, when and how, to benefit us all the most. 


This is another favorite. Hanging with the big guys!

He still has serious stomach issues, going back on his regular food didn't work. I ordered digestive soft food from Amazon at $15.00 less than what I paid at the vet. 

We see the vet two weeks from Monday for a blood test to check his liver and for an eye check. I plan to have my questions ready both about the steroid-induced Cushing's disease and his terrible stomach issues. Good news: He has now been on 1/2 a Prednisone pill every other day for almost two weeks and his eyes still look really good. So that's wonderful. 





Happy Birthday, Sweet Samson from Mommy and Faith

  20. Dear Inger, it's wonderful to know that Samson is doing better. I find myself concerned about Maggie. Her eyes look so sad and that's how Laz was before he died three days later. But she's still eating and so I assume all is well. I did take her to the vet about six months ago and I was assured that she was healthy. Now maybe I need to take her again.

    That photo of Samson and Angel is lovely. All that Samson was and became is reflected in his eyes in that photo.

    I hope you are taking care of yourself as you care for Samson and Faith. Be gracious to yourself. Peace.
