Kristi,
I am sort of new to the board, so I don't think we have had much interaction yet, but I have followed what has been happening with Sampson, and I just want you to know that I am thinking about you and hoping you are feeling ok. It is a terrible feeling to have to take your beloved to the vet knowing that he is going to be hurting when he comes home, to worry about him while he is there, the sadness and pain around knowing that there is only so much you can do for him.
I have my fingers crossed for him and have been thinking about you both all day.
Hang in there and if you need a pick me up, I'll regale you with funny stories from when Badger came home from his TPLO surgery.
