Thanks for all your good wishes for Sherman. It's Sunday night and he's still holding his paw up most of the time. But we can apply a good bit of pressure and he doesn't seem to mind, so I guess that's a pretty good sign he's on the mend. Overall it's kind of amazing that this doesn't happen to him more often considering his vision problem. I think if it had been a BIG tree, he would have picked it up in his peripheral vision, but it was one of the small trees they planted last year, I don't think he saw it coming, poor guy! i'm just thankful it was his paw and not his eye. The swelling over his eye has gone down quite a bit. Today he's definitely more interested in what snack I've brought him more than in keeping his foot away from us. LOL! He's such a sweetheart! He likes all the kisses & hugs I give to him from all of you. Star is doing her best to cheer him up by trying to get him to chase her, but he's staying pretty calm, just tries to bat her with his gimpy paw and growls at her in play.

) Towards the end he was limping more and whining a bit on the way home, so he got an aspirin after supper. Thanks again for your thoughts. 
Sherman sends you all slurps!

It's just those darn trees that don't move that are a problem!) Last night at the dogpark he was actually running and I saw him dig a little with that paw, too. Now I have to go pass out a few more treats....
