PetSugar Street Team: Porch Potty
While at the Worldwide Fido Awards in LA last week, Samson got to test out the Porch Potty, a sort of port-a-potty for dogs that lives on your porch. Since North is already potty trained, I wouldn't need something like this, but LilPeaPod says that it's a must have for puppies and older dogs alike!

Behind the Scenes at the Worldwide Fido Awards!
In case you missed it, our resident cutie Samson won the title of Cutest Dog in the Worldwide Fido Awards! LilPeaPod, her BF, and Samson headed down to Santa Monica late last week for the taping of the show, and snapped up a few behind-the-scenes piccys to share with us.
Big congrats to Samson on taking the "Cutest" title, and although he didn't get the top Worldwide Fido award, he's still a winner in our hearts!
And the 2008 Worldwide Fido Award Goes To . . .
Gabe, the bulldog from Bellingham, Wash. who flushes toilets, skateboards, and even rides a rocking horse! Congrats to this super cute smooshy for his big title!
Samson's a Semi-Finalist!
In case you missed it, our newest office pup Samson has been in the running for the Worldwide Fido Awards Cutest Dog category, and we just got word that he made it into the Semi-Finals! Check out Samson doing his thing in his adoro home video, and vote for him by clicking on the yellow "Vote for Me" bone – he still needs all your support to make it to the WFA Finale in October!
Congrats to the little guy and good luck!
Keep Voting For Samson in the Worldwide Fido Awards!
I know I'm totally being a faux stage mom here, but time is almost out to vote for Samson as Cutest Dog in the Worldwide Fido Awards! All you have to do is click on the "Vote For Me" bone at the top of his video. I'm determined to see one of our own make it to the finals, so keep voting!
Growing Up Samson: Make Him the Cutest!
I'm totally not partial to one pet (besides my own of course) believing that every animal is super adoro no matter what the species! But when Sugar staffer LilPeaPod sent me the link to Samson's entry page on the Worldwide Fido Awards website, I knew I had to call in the troops to help him make a big finish!
If you aren't familiar with the Worldwide Fidos, let me fill you in: You can submit videos of your pets in any of the six categories (cutest, best trick, best voice, owner look alike, most outrageous, and best dressed), for viewers to vote online.
PetSugar Street Team: Bissell Pet Hair Eraser
As a prize for winning Cutest Dog at the Worldwide Fido Awards, Samson (and family) got to take home a brand new vacuum: the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser. How appropriate! Coincidentally, LilPeaPod's Dirt Devil was on the fritz, so getting this vacuum ended up being a lifesaver in more than one respect:
My trusty Dirt Devil vacuum that we've had for a few years was on its last leg.
New Contest: Today's Best in Show!
If you missed out on entering the Worldwide Fido Awards over the Summer, have no fear – there is a new contest hitting the airwaves, and this time it's on the Today Show.
The Best in Show Contest will pit one "adorable trick" against another to win a three-night grand prize trip to Denver, and a photo shoot in US Weekly.
To enter, all you have to do is submit a video of your pet's best and most amazing trick online, or mail it in postmarked by November 6 to the Today Show.
Do Tell: What's Your Favorite Pet-Friendly Hotel?
When LilPeaPod came back from her adventure with Samson at the Worldwide Fido Awards, she told us all about the great staff at the Le Merigot – where she stayed while filming the show. I know some hotels have a "Pet-Friendly" policy, but aren't too friendly when you check in. Thankfully, that wasn't the case when she arrived:
I was very impressed with the staff of the Le Merigot Hotel in Santa Monica, who went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, and treated Samson like a king – it was definitely all about him while we were there.
