World's Best Dog version #129684739

Life hasn't been that great for Sammie since oh, I don't know ... maybe February 26, 2008. He dropped way down the family totem pole when Pip arrived and he's basically been living off scraps and the occasional pat on the head ever since.

Sure his constant scratching drives Patrick and I insane, along with the very annoying full-body licking he chooses to do around 2am that wakes us up and he doesn't exactly run full-speed to greet us at the door anymore (it's more of a leisurely peek down the hall at us with a oh, it's you again look, and then he retreats back to the closest rug) ...but he is still a wonderful, loyal and patient family dog.
He just sat there while Piper covered his entire body with baby powder. He eventually got fed up after about 10 minutes and retreated into the bedroom.

Sammie. I could have knitted a full length gown from the amount of dog hair I found behind your sofa when I helped you guys move. Looking forward to all the ribbing and guilt I will get when we finally get a dog.
