Since Sampson did his partial CCL tear, he rarely gets out for a stroll in the side yard. Before he did his first tear, the dogs used to go out the side door, and dash down the stairs so they could race up the fence line. But since his last tear, we started letting him out the other door, and guiding him to a flat area, where there are limited steps.
Last weekend Sunday was a nice day, and I was zipping around the house cleaning, and the D-Dog wanted to go out, so I left the door open while I popped in to start a load of laundry.
When I came out, Delilah was inside, but Sampson was nowhere to be found.
Drat! The door was still open, so I walked outside, to find Sampson taking a casual stroll around the side yard.
It made me smile to know he felt well enough to do the stairs.
Of course, going down the stairs isn’t the same as going up!
Sometimes it’s good to just let a dog do what they want, even if it might not be the best choice. They need to enjoy life as best as they can. Glad he got out for a stroll on his own.
Love! Glad he is doing so much better Jodi!
Glad he felt well enough to sneak out!
He is probably wise enough to judge what he can do. Humans tend to be mother hens sometimes, but that is what we do.
I get 404 not found when i try to leave a comment. Weird.
It’s so sweet that Sampson took himself for a little walk! It’s so tough when they have to slow down like that, and so extra special when they feel a little better and get to do something they love.
Good job, Sampson!!! Glad you enjoyed your stroll and made your mama smile!!
Oh, that’s nice Sampson got to take a little stroll. Definitely have to enjoy every day – and enjoy the little things in life!
Aw, that’s so adorably sweet. Good for the big guy.
