Happy 4th Birthday Sampson & Brody!
This week, Sampson & his sister Brody turned 4 (thank you Kjer for reminding me!). Today, we took Sam to the dog park for the first time since the accident. It felt great, and a bit strange because we have very fond memories of Sunday mornings at the dog park, with Sam roaming (and foaming) around sniffing the trees and visiting with other dogs. We were apprehensive about letting him run around on his own once again. Lucikly, there were very few others at the park today, so we let him off the leash. He ran around, excited to see the new trees, always keeping one eye on us (he never wanders too far away). After a little while he was pretty exhausted. He rested under a tree and smiled at us.
