Super Sammy

Well hello! It’s been a few weeks since we’ve touched base. Not because anything is wrong, but because we’ve been super busy!
Sam remains his constant self….great. We’re still amazed each day that he has so much energy and is doing so well. He has periodic bouts of lower energy but it’s hard to tell if it’s the weather or his lung mets. We prefer to go with the weather!

We had another amazing night out in Boston recently. We took Sam and Macklin in town and went out for dinner/drinks. We had so much fun. They were behaved so well and made us proud. Of course, everyone is in love with Sam…who can’t resist a 3-legged dog!

On the 4th we went to visit friends in Hingham. We met up at a great park – Bare Cove – that has a beach where the dogs can swim. It was a bit of a hike to get in – a good ¼ mile and Sam handled it like a champ. Once we were there, we stopped to put on his swim coat….but he wasn’t waiting and ran right in the water! He was like a fish and was so darn happy. He was so proud of himself…swimming with 3-legs and no swim coat. I’ll admit, I was a proud mamma!

He tuckered out a little bit on the walk back to the truck, but we managed and headed back to Lisa and Jon’s place for a hose down and a fantastic dinner. Their dog, Babe was an amazing hostess all night long…she graciously shared her place with the boys and they had a fantastic time. It always feels so good with a house full of dogs that get along well!
The boys got cheated a bit this past week. I was scheduled to be away on business for the past week (in London) so we had decided to bring the dogs to my in-laws – we thought a change of scenery would make them miss me less. Well, I had to cancel the trip at the last minute because my schedule was too crazy and we were never able to get to RI to let them still have a visit. We’ll make it up to them….it’s their favorite place in the world and they get spoiled 24/7.
Here’s great pic of Sam with his buddy Nando…they are great friends!

We also had a great visit to the Sandy Paw this past weekend….time to trim the nails!  The girls there are always so wonderful to us…they always fit us in.  Sam was so good…Macklin was so not good…ha!  Macklin acts like a circus dog when it’s time for his nails…all sorts of flailing.  He’s never in distress….he just doesn’t like being still.  Well, at least it’s a good work out.  Otherwise all is great with us. Sam is still our little miracle. I’m in awe that he’s living large and with no indication that he’s sick. So cool.
