everyone, thank you so much for all of your prayers and such. i didn't know that there were such caring individuals and i truly thank you. my prayers are of course with sampson and any other little one who might be sick or injured. sampson is very strong. this morning when my parents left for work, he was in his basket standing up on his front legs trying to get out...as he normally has before. my parents told me last night that they don't think its fair to put him through another operation at the age of 11, but if there was any possibility that he might pull through that they would try. but because he is how he is, he tried to stand up and act as if he was ok. he kept refusing to lay down. i know that he doesn't want to be put down. they said that he didn't have any feeling in his front left leg and i have seen him several times today use it...he's just a miracle...which is the only way i know how to describe him.
