You make me smile, (or laugh), the sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do, that make me smile.
Since partially tearing his CCL, Sampson doesn’t get a lot of playtime. But lately we’ve been trying him on something new, (more about that in a later post), and he’s been feeling a wee bit feisty at times.
Some days, he tries to play with Delilah a bit, but we typically put the kibosh on that. So lately, he’s taken to grabbing a toy and running a wee bit, then settling down and de-stuffing it.
That’s exactly what happened in this photo.
Sampson was excited I was home, grabbed a toy and before I knew it, there he was, lying on the floor with the glory of his de-stuffing surrounding him.
I looked over at him, and he looked so darn cute, I couldn’t help but smile.

Oh my Butter!! You have no idea how much YOU make me SMILE!!!
Poor guy. How about doing some fun nose work with him. That is easy on the joints and would stimulate him mentally.
Pink toys would bring out the macho-ness of any male dog,
Aw, he looks so cute, that made me smile too! We’re glad that he’s doing a bit better lately, and that he’s finding low impact ways to have fun! (low impact on his joints, high impact on the toys though – LOL!)
Some toys must die😀
so glad he’s feeling well enough to get feeling feisty. such a sweet face..nose smooch.
Gah…that sweet face!! Bringing smiles wherever he destuffs.
Go get that toy, Sampson!! 🤣🤣
Glad he’s doing a bit better! Shadow seems to be doing better, too. And I think we’ve been using the same product. I’ll let you tell everyone what it is, though, in case I’m wrong.
Gotta love an older dog wanting to play. And what’s more satisfying than a fluffectomy!
