Hi John, what an interesting idea. I’ve never seen dogs being dressed up here in SA. Your pictures made me think of Ani and her Christmas reindeer horns. It’s going to be sad not having Ani’s Advent Calendar this year.

My vote goes to the famous bull rider, but they’re all cute. I don’t think the one dog was giving the photographer the stink eye, I think that was pure embarrassment on his face.

The prehistoric pup gets my vote. I notice you didn’t dress Twiggy as a little potato, or a puma. I would have enjoyed the video of you getting that costume on her 😉
I’ll have June’s Charbroiled Burger and a beer, if it’s not too early in Texas for beer.

Not so sure the pups enjoyed playing dress-up, but it was for a good cause. I haven’t tried affixing a Halloween getup for Monkey yet. Not sure he’d go along with it. Dallas suffered through the silliness most stoically, but something tells me Monk would protest!
