I was happily surprised when I came home from work today. I pulled my car into the garage and saw Andy & Sampson in the backyard through the side window. I walked into the house, dropped off my stuff, and headed outside to join them. Before I stepped outside, I noticed Sampson was standing without Andy supporting him. I slid open the door, stepped outside, and my doggy hopped about five or six steps, VERY quickly, toward me! Andy and I both leaped toward him, but he appeared very comfortable up on his three legs. Our doctors have told us that during this learning period, his walking wouldn't be "graceful." That's fine by me. I'm just overjoyed that he's feeling strong enough to walk on his own.

This is a big step--- errrrr--- HOP---- in the right direction!
