Just for fun I would like to see who has the SCARIEST looking dog. It is almost Halloween time and though I am not talking costumes, I got a great picture of Sammy being his "most terrifying". So I bet even Fortis or anyone else on this site can't be my boy for the scariest picture! Maybe we can put it to a vote after we get the contestants in. Go ahead all, get your camera's clicking and good luck to you!
I have to wait to get my boy's pic up until my husband can explain (again) how to upload from my camera, but it's coming.... LOL!

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

That's is so cute! That's not a scary photo! You could win the "cutest dog" with that one! Sammy is so adorable!
I'll come back with a scary photo but for now you can claim the title as the "cutest scariest dog" photo.

hey now, no, no, no. I get it, you feel the need to "talk my super SCAREY dog down", so people will then vote for yours. 
(LOL).
Go ahead then sista', bring it!
I have to say that when Sammy was staring at the tennis ball in my hand with that SCAREY face, the ball disintegrated in my hand! No kidding. (blink.... blink..) It got so scared it just stopped being a ball... yeah.

If you had some photoshop Sammy, you could alter your eye color to red or something and be really creepy!

Loki isn't a tripawd so he probably isn't eligible for the contest but he makes some pretty scary faces when he plays with Julian!

In the interest of full disclosure, this photo was taken of Jerry before he became a tripawd, and he was only playing soccer at the time. He made a great goalie.
We altered it in no way other than to add the text. The sticker now adorns the door to our fifth wheel.
