I Took A Little Break

Hi everybody, I took a little time off because my mom and dad have been kind of busy and because I've been a little "sick". My mom noticed that I had dark pee and so I had to go see Dr. Sue, who works with my regular doctor Janice.

Here I am getting my diagnosis. 

Dr. Sue: Ah so Sam, you have a little infection. We're going to do a culture to see what kind of little "beasties" you have. Okay?

Sam: "Like I have choice, right?"


Dr. Sue: Right now, I think that you have a UTI (urinary tract infection). It's pretty common in dogs who have rear leggies that aren't working and who need to be expressed. We think that you've been fortunate not to have had this until now.

Sam: Hmmmm...


Dr. Sue: We're going to put you on antibiotics for about three weeks. Don't worry, they'll taste great because your dad will probably give you lots and lots of treats. And you can still go for walks, kiss cats and stuff. Just like normal. Sound good?

Sam: Okey, dokey :)


So I'm been doing some walks with my sister. Here we are down by the waterfront.


Hey dad, look there's a...


Tug towing a barge


Okay, let's go somewhere else...


I think there's a bee in here somewhere.


Nice flowers, Spring's finally here. Hi Kippy Marie :)


For Maggie and Mitch's mom (thinking of you).


Sending out good thoughts and strong paws to my friend Ernie, who's recovering from surgery and my friend Blu, who went for a check-up yesterday for his back and leggies. We hope that everything will work out well.


'Bye for now. Love, Sam.
