Happy Halloween From 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!!!!

Leslie, Just like your husky, I had a dream once with my children. I tried for years to get them to go as a garbage can. I was convinced we would win first prize in any contest, BUT those little brats darlings would never go for it. I wanted to take a plastic garbage can...cut out the bottom and have them wear it with straps over their shoulders. The lid would be their hat and garbage would be overflowing from the top. I also was going to put raccoons on the can. Can you say WINNER??? Someday, I will find someone who will let me dress them as a garbage can...it is on my bucket list. Until then, force Halas to be a wolf is sheep's clothing....LOL!!

I was hoping Nicky Minaj would not have those people who Google her name :)

Hoping you are invited to a costume party, Laurie. I'm afraid you will have a hard time finding anyone to model your garbage can costume avec raccoons.

Do you have racoons at your house? If not I would be glad to send you a few. I was just thinking perhaps you could befriend one and use him for your garbage can costume. He'd be a natural at it!!!

Countess, DO NOT send me any more critters. We have moles, voles, possums, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, and raccoons. I am not falling for the old "make friends with a raccoon." I am a jenius, remember??
