A bit about us...

Sam. Sammy. Sammer. Or, more accurately, Trouble on the Hoof. These are the adventures of one ridiculous Labrador Retriever and the girl who brought him home.

Leafblower Battle Royale

Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend! I was sick for half of it, but I did get to visit the zoo with some friends and of course take Sam on car rides, give him a bath, recover stolen items from him, and administer his many medicines to clear up his skin allergy. I've gotten tired of shoving the pills down his throat so instead I've been wrapping them up in half-melted cheese, which is a messy if efficient way of getting him to take the 4-7 pills he's got to take each day. The good news is the pills are working: he's not itchy anymore, the medicated baths are really helping with the dandruff, and the fish oil is making his coat soft and silky.

Today's video is a standing tradition between Dad and Sam. Every time Dad mows the yard, he and Sam have a leafblower battle afterward as Dad tries to clear off the driveway and porch. (Although I noticed he did NOT blow the grass clippings off my freshly-washed car, which now looks worse than it did before the wash.) I got to film Sam vs leafblower Sunday afternoon; you may want to turn the volume down a bit on the video, since it's mostly just the drone of the leafblower.
