This could be a sign of infection could also indicate a prostate gland issue or even stones in the urethra. If this continues I recommend Samson get checked out by his veterinarian to make sure he doesn't need antibiotics or any sort of test like an x-ray. This is especially important if his urine becomes bloody at all.
