Chocolate Banana Split

I was going to post pictures of the Blessing of the Pets today, but those will just have to wait, because Sam got mail!

Sam's got mail!

What could it be? I let Sam have a shot of opening the box, then helped him out when it became apparent that the masking tape was too much for him to handle.

Opening the box

We opened it up and found a card from my little second cousin Brooke, who lives in Texas and to whom Sam sent a letter after her Florida visit and signed with his pawprint.

Sam thought Brooke's card was very pretty

And what else was inside the box?

A costume!

An adorable Halloween costume! Presenting Sam, the Chocolate Banana Split!

Sam without his banana hat


I had to bribe Sam with milkbones to keep him
from chewing his banana hat


Sam didn't quite understand the banana hat but
it cracked me up


Chocolate Banana Split!

Thank you so much John, Jenny, and especially little Miss Brooke! I'll make sure Sam writes a thank you card and sends it to you very soon!
