Happy Monday and Happy National Dog Day. NDD celebrates all dogs, whether mixed breed or purebred. That includes celebrating Knuckleheads of all stripes and which I’m especially celebrating a certain Knucklehead who was presented an award this past weekend for having ‘pawticipated’ in more than 200 hospital visits. I couldn’t be more proud of this silly goofball who demonstrates pure loving attention to all he greets. Even when he faces the wrong way during the awards photo, he steals the show.
There will be more photos and a special post later this week but for now, please join me in saying, “attaboy, Sam.” Way to go, dude.
No resting on our laurels now though. Tomorrow we return to hospital to bring more smiles to patients and staff.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Kudos for Sam! And please give him a pat and a scratch behind his ears from me,
Pit
Sam says thanks for the pat and ear scratch (his favorite).
🙂
Congratulations, Sam. Just imagine the impact you’ve had! Two hundred visits … how many of those were life-changing for someone? Yeah. More than you think!
We can only hope 🤞🏻
Attaboy Sam!! Ducky and I are super proud of you!! ❤️❤️🎉🎉
It’s alright Sam, I hated getting my picture taken too. I’m sure I have school award photos just like that one….
You’re probably a heck of a lot smarter than Sam though. 😉
I don’t know, he could probably beat me at Jeopardy…
Good to know:)
Way to go Sam!!! What a special boy!
hugs
Mabel & Hilda
Thanks, Mabel and little Hilda.
200 that is so awesome! 200 visits making a difference! Congrats.
We love bringing smiles to peeps.
Sam – both you and your mom are absolutely amazing!!!!
Thanks but Sam is the real star. I’m just the chauffeur.
Great job on 200 Visits! And great job on the photos! Wish we coulda been there!
Thanks, Amy. We missed you and your sweet girl.
Way to go, Sam! I love how well you two help people and make the world a better place.
Well Sam sure does. I wouldn’t go to far as to say I do but happy for the association. 😉
Congrats on a great year of helping people Sam (and mom).
Thanks for the kind words. It’s taken us a ‘bit’ than a year but we’re grateful to be part of a great group.
Attaboy doesn’t even begin to cover it! Great job Mr. Sam, 200+ visits is a huge accomplishment for you and your Dog Mom, too! You’ll never really know the full depth of your contribution but it will live in the hearts of the many whom you’ve touched. Happy Dog Day!!!
Thanks. Sam wants to know if this means extra treats? 😍
Pretty sure the treat jar is wide open today. Slip him one from Max.🐕
You got it! Course I’m sure will Elsa will try to filch it but we’ll do our best. 😁
We love Elsa. Give the Ninja a yum from Max too. (Max says it’s easy to give away treats that aren’t his )
Elsa says thanks. She’s always happy to eat other’s treats. 😈
Congratulations, Sam!
Thanks, Molly!
Atta boy, Sam! Good, no, great job! Your friends and admirers, Lucy, Xena and our Mom.
Thank you!
Congratulations, Sam. We are so in awe of all that you do.

Sam is the real magic maker, I just have the vehicle that allows him to do his ‘thang.’
Congratulations! What wonderful work you are doing, you should be awarded and rewarded!
Thank you. Sam does the hard work. I just drive him. 😉
Love the graphic and the saying. Very true.
Way to go, Sam. That’s a wonderful milestone.
Sorry I’m so late today. We boated from Rio Vista back to our slip and then drove home.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ♥
It caught us by surprise. Had no idea we had that many visits.
Attaboy, Sam!!! Great job. Kudos to your support staff as well, you couldn’t do it without her. 🙂
😊Sam thinks I’ll get a big head with kind compliments like that. LOL
200 Hospital visits – that’s a milestone and a half. Congratulations Sam and well done to you and to Mom.
Thanks for the kind wishes. 204 visits and counting. 😊
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS AND WELL DESERVED!!! Sam (and Mom) you bring soooooooooo much joy to others!! Well done!!! xoxo
Aww shucks. We’re both blushing. Thank you❣️
Congrats, Sam!! ❤️❤️
Thank you!
Way to go, Sam!
That’s a wonderful thing you guys do…
Thanks. Sam does all the work, I’m just his driver. 😉
I hear ya. He couldn’t do it without you!
I’m the fluff on this team, he’s the real heart and soul.
You are the coolest fluff
🥰
😘
He’s such a special chap….I loved his take on the ceremony…must be that he’s modest!
Modest? Nah…dumb as a stump. But ever so sweet. 😍
Way to go, Sam. Wishing for 200 more.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Conformity is over-rated.
Trust me, Sam is one of a kind. And in the good sense.
How lucky are the hospital patients touched by you
They are lucky when Sam is around. Me, not as much. 😈
Congrats Sam…what a furry angel you are!
He really is a furry angel! 😇
So sweet…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he is without a doubt the sweetest dog I’ve ever known and I’ve known my fair share of dogs.
<3
Congratulations Sam!!
Many thanks.
oh congrats congrats congrats!!!! and a happy dog day to you and to all pups of our slice earth!
Many thanks to your winning team! Congrats on the win.
Our gratitude to you and your Mom Sam, when one of us does good things it creates a ripple that affects us all. Thank you for your service. LeeAnna
Thank you, but it’s only fair to note I’m just the driver, Sam does all the hard work. And ever so sweetly.
Atta Boy Sam! Congrats on reaching a pawsome career milestone. Kudos to mom for setting you up for success!
He managed to accomplish this in spite of his mom. LOL
Atta boy Sam!!!
I think he was being deferential to the other peeps by facing the wrong way, LOL.
He’s such a Knucklehead. That away-from-the-camera pose exemplifies him. But you couldn’t ask for a sweeter fur angel.
He’s the goodest boy with a heart of solid gold. ❤️
Solid gold indeed. Maybe with a platinum coated exterior.
But oh so huggable just the same.
His fur is so cotton-pickin soft, it makes for a high hug-ablility score.
On a scale of 1-10, sounds like a 28.
That’s not far off from the truth! And after a nice bath…so delicious smelling in addition to soft as all get out.
Give him five hugs for me, please.
You got it. And he sends 55 hundred tail wags in return for the hugs.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congrats Sam!
Many thanks and a bow from Sam. Ok, technically it was a tail wag but he is most appreciative.
