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!!!!

What about khaki?

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Khaki is a nice macho color.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Some judicial color.  I think black.

[Pat and Traveler]

Countesses are SO out of touch!  Crayons don't come in khaki.  (Do they?  I'll admit it's been a while since I looked through the crayon box.)

[Leslie and Halas]

Oh, khaki is the new black!  All the cool kids are coloring with it!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I feel so isolated up here in my castle!  :(

That just means JD can be the first!!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I don't think blondes look good in khaki. He's sticking with dark poop distinguished colors.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I think JD would look splendid in navy blue and it's distinguished too.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I agree, F, but navy would not convey his true opinion of this whole exercise in the same way as funereal black or poop brown would.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Gotcha.

[Leslie and Halas]

Fudge looks less than pleased with the owl costume.  Probably because she knows that a pink owl isn't realistic, so no one would really believe she's an owl.  But Vern looks like he really believes that people will mistake him for Nicky Minaj.  By the way, I hope she has people that look for her name to come up on line, so that she can see this discussion and the beautiful photos.

Halas doesn't dress for Halloween any more.  We had one good year with him as Snuffleupagus, but he doesn't think we can top that, so he won't even try.

When I had my husky, I always wanted to put one of those fake-shearling-looking blankets over him, so he could be a wolf in sheep's clothing, but it was never cold enough to cover him in a blanket.
