I'm reading these in order on Monday, October 15, so I don't know what is going to happen by the time I get to today's posting. I do so hope that the news about Samson is going to be good.<br /><br />As to the flu shot, I get one every year but I've never gotten one of "added potency" and I've never had any trouble from the ones I've gotten.<br /><br />What is that bird in your final photograph of this blog? Such marvelous wings.

Thankfully the body seems to adapt to changes in our lives ... and I suspect Samson will too - he knows his home and feels secure and safe ... <br /><br />Two walks - good for you - I'm not surprised the chair came in handy!<br /><br />I won't have flu jabs and my mother refused - the staff were always amazed ... nope we don't want or need ... and we didn't. I just sincerely hope your hubby gets over his reaction as soon as possible - sounds very nasty ...<br /><br />My thoughts - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-20303504053572623012012-10-10T22:43:46.494-07:002012-10-10T22:43:46.494-07:00Sounds like Samson’s eye problem may be clearing u...Sounds like Samson’s eye problem may be clearing up, fingers crossed and prayers continuing that Samson will still retain good eyesight. Btw, brrr, you do look cold! Getting cold here now on the East Coast too. Nice pictures of your walk. I’ll be checking back to see how the vet visit went. I am sorry your husband and friends had that terrible reaction to the flu shot.

I'm rather afraid of the shots for that reason. Glad you went to the vet and are working out the eye problems that is always a worry with our beloved dogs. I haven't been spending much time blogging lately, just haven't felt like it I guess, been reading a really really good book you should check it out it's called 1Q84.

She still managed a full life with hardly any sight and a boxer dog jumping on top of her so don't worry too much dogs are very adaptable. As for the flu shot,I've never heard of a stroger potancy one but I know when I get the normal one I and many people I have spoken to have flu symptons and sore arm and yet Drs say that can't happen as you're not being injection with a live virus,so who knows? lolAnne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-17145850484588636542012-10-10T06:10:02.473-07:002012-10-10T06:10:02.473-07:00So far so good.

It was great to get your comment on my blog on Sunday and I came over to your blog to see if you'd posted about your boy, and you hadn't--But I'm glad I have time this evening to catch up on your news. To start, I'm sorry about Samson's eyes. But I'm glad that he's seeing an ophthalmologist because they have lots of tricks up their sleeves, and I think they'll be able to help him. As you know, I have had one dog (Tanner) that was almost totally blind, and now Sandy. I can tell you first hand that when they have these big changes in their lives, any insecurities that they feel vanis because of your positive reassurance, energy and being there for them! Sandy had to learn to trust us, and once that trust was there, it cemented our bond--You and Samson already have that and I've no doubt that with you by his side, he's going to be okay, no matter what the diagnosis is!! Let us know, and please know that I'm sending lots of good thoughts and prayers in your direction!! Take care!!!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-82187153040941748022012-10-09T17:48:05.152-07:002012-10-09T17:48:05.152-07:00I hope Samson stays on the road to recovery.
