Happy Halloween From Laurie, Fudge, and Vern!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Usually, I try and get some Halloween pictures of my two dogs each year. Last year, I had some fun costumes, but this year I found I wasn't as creative. We also had a problem with the size of one of my Doodles and trouble squeezing getting him into a few of the things I had selected. I apologize in advance, but this was the best I could do with the models I had to work with for the photo shoot.

First, Fudge and Vern decided to go as crayons for Halloween. Fudge was pink, in honor of Natalie, and Vern was a blue crayon. My DH wanted to find a red crayon outfit for Vern, for reasons you would know if you have paid any attention to my mention of Vern's fondness for the camera, but sadly they only had green or blue. During the photo shoot, the Blue Crayon decided to roll in his costume and emerged from his roll with a muddy head and a muddy crayon costume. One other problem we encountered was the Pink Crayon and the Blue Crayon decided to play tag while I was trying to snap pictures.

I think I had just yelled, "smile," which would explain Fudge's teeth:

Nobody said not to roll!

Next, I tried a Hootiful costume on Fudge. She was not impressed.

Hoo Hoo is inside that costume??

Fudge, Don't look now, but hoo hoo is behind you??

Vern was supposed to be Jimmy Buffett.  When we were on the cruise, I bought him a Women's XL shirt that took me, a shoe horn, and some major muscles to get Vern into and buttoned. As you can see, Vern doesn't seem to mind. Getting it off him was even harder and we quickly scrapped that idea.

Keeping with the pink theme for Fudge, I racked my brain trying to think of someone with pink hair and settled on Nicky Minaj. She is the only celebrity I know of who loves to wear a pink wig.

Another bust, if I do say so myself, because Vern ripped Nicky's outfit in another game of tug of war and Nicky MinajDoodle preferred a wig less look.   The photographer was slightly annoyed at this point and alternated between swearing at her subjects and laughing. We decided to chuck the costumes and go for a walk :)

However, I will leave you with one last image.  Happy Howloweenie!!!!

Thanks, Christine.

Hey, is the carpet matching the drapes on Vern?  Looks like he would have rather been a "pink" crayon!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...Vern is very modest :)

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I bet you purchased these for you and John, didn't you?? Can't wait to see pics of the four of you trick-or-treating!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Hahaha.....I doubt I could get John in that costume. Maybe early on in our marriage, but that ship has sailed :) LOL

Extremely clever to sign off Happy Halloweenie since Vern did cooperate so to speak in that last photo. What a trouper. As for me I wouldn't ever denigrate my doodle by comparing her with a certain pink wigged "singer". Sadly I see why Fudge left home. Vern would have too if he were braver. Good chuckle. Happy Halloweinerenie to you too.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F, I am trying to get Natalie to pick Fudge :) I had to go with pink everything. Vern does love that camera! LOL

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Laurie, if you were smart you'd starting kissing up to a certain younger male in the family,  Natalie is far to old and sophisticated to be bribed by a dog in costume.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I can't take any chances until I know Natalie is no longer on the calendar selection committee :)

[Carol and Banjo]

Hahahaha.......F...you always seem to say just the right thing! Laurie.......do the dogs have their own closets?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Carol, I actually have everything in a bin under a bed in our spare room. I need a new bin :) LOL
