Sam Fridays: WHO WANTS THIS DOG?

Last weekend, we took Sam to the annual Pride Festival in Oklahoma City:

I thought it would be a photo extravaganza, what with Sam being all Pridey. Instead he spent most of the time running up to people and pulling his leash, and the photos of him were not good. Hence the lack of Sam Fridays last week.

We spent a great deal of our time at the Festival near the tent for the Humane Society, who had brought a bunch of dogs in need of homes. So, with this post, I would like to encourage you to adopt a dog. This one, for example, was named Madonna:

And she was just as sweet as could be, and, as you can see, somewhat camera shy.

They all had their little rainbow bandanas on and were so sweet you could almost die. I wanted to take them all home, but we barely have enough room for Sam and the occasional visit from Hera as it is. Bringing another dog into our house at this point wouldn’t really be fair to the new dog, to Sam, or to us.

But YOU? YOU should adopt one of these guys. Like him:

He was old and not able to be very playful, but he was so nice. There’s a special place in Heaven for whoever took him home. Or this guy:

Or this one:

The best dog photo I took at the Pride Festival, however, wasn’t of a dog waiting on you to adopt her. It was this photo, of Standard Poodles, a breed of dog I’d never dream of owning. But this photo just makes me smile:
