April 18, 2010

As my darling fiancee said today, "what a wonderful and productive weekend we had." It began with a lovely BBQ on Friday night with the boys- Nick, Matt, Aaron, and Aaron's pup Loki. Sam enjoyed the company very much.

On Saturday, we enojoyed a lovely BBQ/Celebration of Many Things, in Livermore with Andy's fam. Sampson came along, as did my bro and Nellie.

Today, Andy was finally able to enjoy a Sunday off from work. We worked hard in the backyard, and now have our garden in the ground and patio furniture in place.

We are concerned about Sampson's paw-irritation, as it seems to be getting worse. He attacked his paws at the BBQ, and we had family members ask us about the now completely raw spots on his feet. After talking with his doctor who determined that it was nerve damage and that there is not much we can do to alleviate the pain/tickle, I started researching various remedies- ie: massaging, lotions, acupuncture (!). In the meantime, I'm going to try icing his feet and see how that helps. The next step would be talking about medication. Hopefully, we can figure something out to help our poor buddy :(
