Sammy's near death experience

So not much is new here. Everything is the same-that is why I haven't blogged lately. Just working and hoping the days pass very quickly! Dave is the same (I know I say that in every post but it is true, nothing has changed!). He is the world's biggest slacker and is yet to send me any pictures or information about his recent helicopter trip or "cultural experience". Maybe after he reads this he will get on it and send them to me. (hint hint David!)
So of course I have a story about the dogs (it wouldn't be a complete post on my blog without one!). Last Monday was the worst Monday EVER. My mom called me at work and told me Sammy had to be rushed to the vet and she didn't know if he was going to live or not. OMG- I was a hot mess. He is my baby!!!! (and the cutest dog in the entire world).
My boss is the greatest boss in the entire world. I went into her office crying (very professional but I couldn't keep it together) and told her about my phone call. She told me to go and she would take care of canceling one of my kiddos so I could tend to my dog. Nobody would have wanted any speech therapy from me after that phone call.
So I rushed to the vet (at a snail like pace of 95 miles an hour) and they wouldn't even let me see him. They said he was doing better and they didn't want to get him upset. All of that nascar for nothing!
To make a really long story a bit shorter here is what happened: my parents thought he was dead-maybe he had a stroke, he wasn't moving and his tongue was hanging out of his mouth. The vet thought he was a goner too. After a shot of pain medicine and some time he was doing much better. The conclusion from the vet based on what had happened and how quickly he recovered is that he had "head trauma" from jumping off the couch. A little comical now. When I was at the vet, (crying like a 5 year old. Okay actually worse, I was sobbing hysterically) I told my mom even if needed thickened liquids I was not putting him to sleep. I would help him learn to swallow again. LOL
I will dedicate all the pictures on this blog to my beloved Sammy (Sambo, Sammy Sosa, Sosa, Sosabear,  Sambarino):

I am feeling much better now that it has been a week since this horrible experience and he appears to be doing much better (knock on wood). 

I have been doing a lot of new things to the house and have bought all the furniture for the sunroom. Once all of that is complete I will post pictures of the house. This weekend I am going to Denver to spend the weekend with my sisters-in-law and my nieces. I am very excited! I will have updates from that trip too. 

Now going to watch some MNF with my dad.  Have a great Monday everybody. 

66 days until Dave is home-life is good!!!
