I'm hangin' solo with Sampson today and tonight, while Andy enjoys some much needed (and well deserved) time away. He skipped off to Fresno to hang with some friends.

Sampson relaxed in the yard, while I planted some new tomato plants and attempted to kill the MOTHER of all black widow spiders (seriously, I spent nearly 20 minutes pacing back and forth before she made a move for the house and I had to bite the bullet and whack her with a shovel).

Last Thursday marked 8 weeks since Sampson's surgery. We have an appointment scheduled on Monday with the surgeon. I'm assuming she will take more x-rays to see how his pelvis is healing. I'm hoping that they will also check out his lungs, just to see if he has any additional leakage. I'm also hoping that they will give us the "ok" to encourage Sampson to move around more, since he is now very antsy. We will have to wait and see. xoxo
