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, Karen.

I must admit that Vern actually looks like he's enjoying all this, but Fudge....not so much.  Vern is like some of those little kids who will go along with anything, but Fudge is too smart  independent for that.  I must admit that I'm loving Vern in the Jimmy Buffet outfit....all he needs is an umbrella drink to complete the look.  I happen to have a collection of those little umbrellas if you need some.  Thanks for the morning Halloween smile....what would we ever do without you to brighten our days.

Thanks, Jane. Vern's shirt was so tight, I didn't have the heart to run inside for my large monkey coconut head.  I really do think Vern likes to dress up. He looks like he is smiling. You are right...Fudge not so much. I will just keep working on her :)

In this top photo of Fudge it reminds me of the pics I have of my Nieces and Nephews, you know the ones I mean, where they are in Kindergarten or 1st grade and they are just figuring out how to Smile for a photo and they end up with these really funky smiles!

I know exactly what you mean and I agree!!

Laurie - you always find a way to make my day this gave me the best laugh!  Poor Rooney and Stuart - if they were to see this they'd be asking "why does our mom not dress us up in constumes for Halloween like Fudge & Vern's mom does?" 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Many would say Rooney and Stuart are the lucky ones :) Thanks, Jane!!!

Very clever (or crazy)!!!

I am feeling like the biggest Halloween Grinch - no costumes, no decorations, no candy!  I did go to Kayla's preschool Halloween parade - does that count?
