Curiosity Painted the Dog

If you're outside and doing something out of the ordinary, Sam wants to know what's going on. He'll be up in your business from the moment you step outside until the moment you come back in, and even then he'll be scratching on the door. He's "helped" the Overhead Doors guys install a garage door on our shed, and he's "helped" the septic tank inspector dig up some pipes.

Today, my parents were re-painting the trim on some of our outside doors, and of course Sam had to help. He systematically brought them each one of his outside toys--including one of my shoes--and when they wouldn't play, he set about figuring out what they were doing that was so much more interesting than playing with him. As you may have guessed, inquisitive sniffing and fresh, wet paint don't mix so well. The end result:

What?


It's "dogger-chic"

I've got to see if I can get it out of his fur tonight, otherwise he's gonna be blue for awhile.

UPDATE: The blue paint came out with some Skin So Soft and quite a bit of elbow grease.

Do... not... want...


Quit fighting Sam!
