For those who don't know, this is my dog, Sampson.

Lately he hasn't been doing so well, but he can always take the time to pose for a good picture.

On command he can give this really good smile that you see in this picture, you just have to use a special hand signal, kind of like making a mouth with your fingers, and open and close it at him, he will respond with this face.

Cute isn't he?

Unfortunately, I have some bad news to go with this picture.

We will be putting Sampson down soon, for he is in a good amount of pain every day, and he's an older dog now.

That is all.
