Sam Fridays: A Bathing Beauty
Sam Fridays: A Bathing Beauty

This is another of the photos I took while off sick a couple weeks ago, when Sam was very patient and kind with me as I snapped a hundred photos of him as he tried to get some damn sleep in the office and OH MY GOD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH OF ME TO ASK FOR ME TO JUST LET HIM SLEEP? Yes, it would’ve; he has to earn his keep.
You guys were so stoked about the idea of a regular Sam feature that I decided to throw in something a little extra:
A couple weekends back we took Sam to the dog park and finally dared try out the dog-wash place down the street. It’s almost exactly like a car wash, which provided no end to chuckles as we tied poor, unwitting Sam up on a raised metal grate, inserted $5 in quarters and proceeded to pre-wash, soap, rinse, and hot wax the shit out of him. We had gone to Bed Bath & Beyond to get some cheapy towels to dry him off with, but they weren’t enough, and we ended up running out of quarters before we could get him good and dry. So this was what happened on the drive home:

He’s been pretty put out with us ever since.

Sam is beautiful! He really doesn’t look to put out in the car, though. He seems to be contemplating when he can shake off and soak the interior! LOL Keep those pics coming!

Aww! He looks pretty happy to be riding in the car - even if he is still a wet doggie. I wonder what Sam would think if he knew he was adored by all your readers?
