baby, what's in that satchel?

obviously i have a lot of work to do, otherwise i wouldn't be posting so much.

anyway.
samson got the snip recently, because the vet says if he doesn't spread the lovin' he has a high risk of getting prostate cancer in his later years. because of his operation he has to wear a lampshade so that he doesn't lick at the stitches. not that it's stopping him. our dog is very flexible! at the same time, the vet also chopped all his fur off because it as very tangled and kind of gross.

the result is that our dog looks like a skinny russian babushka. or so my mother claims. i don't suppose the fetching orange ribbon helps his image much. our poor emasculated sammy!

here he is being manja, invading dad's personal space. and that's my dad ignoring him.

and this is him looking at whoever my dad is talking to. probably mum.
