Halloween Is Here Again!

Remember last year when we stuffed Samson into three Halloween costumes and let you pick which one he'd wear on the big day? Not this year, no sir. We chose just one, but as you can tell, Halloween remains his least favorite holiday of the year.

Keeping Warm

An abnormally cool October day is the perfect time to get all wrapped up in blankets fresh out of the dryer — especially when it's nap time.

Another pic when you read more.

Flashback: Nino's 31st Birthday Party

Last month, we celebrated Nino's 31st birthday in style — hit up a swanky club, had some Jello shots at a less-than-swanky club, drank too much, had crepes out of a taco truck, then went home to stretch our vocal chords with Xbox 360 Lips at 2:00am. Now normally, Samson, Nino, and I are tucked into bed at this hour, but this night was special.

Thankfully, our neighbors didn't complain (thanks guys!), but as you can tell, Samson was not amused. Being woken up out of your warm bed by six drunkards in the middle of the night is not his cup of tea.

Don't Tell Anyone . . .

But sometimes Samson and I take naps on the bed. Shhhhhh!

Is Your Dog's Bed Too Big, Too Small, or Just Right?

The Camera Adds 10 Pounds

Remember when Samson headed out for a fun Dog Day on the Bay and auditioned to be on a KOFY TV commercial? Well, I just found it. I have already assured him that the camera adds 10 pounds. His self confidence is slowly returning . . .

Summer in The City: Pride and Patricia's

Since Hayes Valley is right in the thick of things when it comes to events, we kinda don't have any other choice than to head over to the SF Civic Center and enjoy whatever festivities are taking place. Streets are blocked off and getting to and from the parking garage is a bit of a nightmare.

Today was the final day of Pride weekend and it was packed with a capital "P". Thankfully, we didn't have anywhere else to be, so Samson got to check out his first Pride parade. Not like he knew what it was, but whatever. He got lots of attention (natch), and we got some much needed sun exposure on our pathetically pale and Vintamin D deprived skin, so everybody wins!

Afterwards, Nino and I went over to Patricia's Green and got this amazing shot of Samson in the grass. It was easy to get since wouldn't move — it was hot outside and the grass was cool on his belly. Does it get any cuter!? I don't think so.

An Update With an Upgrade

Good news: Samson is on the mend! Although all test results came back negative (a good thing), we still couldn't pinpoint what was up with his system. Either way, I'm just happy he's feeling better and getting back to normal.

After this week's fiasco, we're even more thankful that we got insurance for our little guy. Vet bills can get preeeety expensive. And I cannot imagine being put in a position to have to make a choice on what to treat and what not to treat due to financial restrictions. My heart goes out to those who have had to make those tough choices.

Oh, and if you're wondering about what upgrade I'm referring to in the title, no Samson didn't receive any bionic parts — we got our new camera this week so expect the blog to visually blow your mind from here on out.
