On the road to recovery!

I thought I would give an update on Sam and how he is recovering these days. He is doing better each day... walking better, standing better, etc. There is just one problem. He will not eat. He just has no desire. He is not even drinking much water. Eugene and I are both pretty worried about this because he needs food for energy. I talked to the vet yesterday and he wants us to take him off of his pain medicine and see how that works. He said that some dogs are more effected by a pain killer and it's side effects than others. So, hopefully within the next day or so he will regain his appetite. He just looks so sad every day... and he cries a lot. He pretty much cries all night long if he is awake. Eugene or I have to be near him at all times for him to be pacified. Hopefully when this medicine gets out of his system he will return to his normal happy self. In the meantime, we will just keep loving on him!!

Sunday night we were so worried because he had not eaten. We were grilling steaks for the two of us and decided to treat Sam to a T-Bone of his own!! Tell me he isn't spoiled! Now, before you lecture we would never make a habit of this. Special times call for special measures!
