Happy Halloween! Now I know I am too old for Halloween, though I really don’t think its fair, just because you get older doesn’t mean you don’t like free candy. And dressing up is always fun. Of course I always liked dressing others up more than myself. When I was younger I would always dress my little brother up in my dresses, I so badly wanted a little sister. Now that he is older and capable of kicking my butt I had to find a new victim to torture.
Now it’s my poor dogs turn. Last year Frankie sported a nice set of wings and greeted trick or treaters as a fairy. The year before he had a little puppy gi and went as a karate dog. This year I had to do something to top it. I guess I got my inspiration from everyone who ever meets Frankie for the first time. With his large stature and black and white markings everyone says he looks more like a cow than a dog.
So I figured just give him some udders, horns and a cowbell, throw on some boots and a hat and we will make a great pair, easy as that. Hahahahaha! Not so much! Its not easy getting a dog that size to do anything he doesn’t want to, and he really freaked out when I was trying to figure out how to attach the udders (eventually tying the blown up rubber glove to a string and wrapping it around him. I refused to tape or staple it like my brothers suggested). After much excitement and some doggy treats I finally got him to settle down and pose for a few pictures. His horns didn’t really want to stay on and his udders were flapping but I think you get the idea.
And yes I realize I am strange and that during the off season I have way too much time on my hands. It’s funny during the season when I live out of a suitcase for months I can’t wait to come home and relax for a few weeks. But after a couple of weeks I am ready to go on my next adventure. And I am pretty sure poor Frankie is ready for me to leave too.
Happy Halloween!
