OK.... well it was all my son's idea.. but did anyone dress up your dog(s) for your amuzement? I mean all know the dogs don't care for it.. I'd LOVE to see photos. We took Romeo (6m GSD) with us tricker R treating.. he was SO well behaved.. we dressed him up as a bumble bee.. he had wings, wobbley antenas and a black and yellow suit to match. What was so hilarous about this was I couldn't get the hat with the wobbley atennas to sta on because of his massive ears. LoL. So I had to cut holes in it... needless to say it was ONE goofy looking outfit. I felt sort of gulity.. he had such a pitiful look on his face before left.. sort of Like "Are you Serious?" LoL. I have to develop the photos to share with you .I promose you'll laugh. The kids ALL Loved it as well as the neighbors and he enjoyed the attention for sure. =0) My bumblebee GSD.. poor dog. He wouldn't look at me the entire night afterwards. ahaha.

Haha, my dog had it worse. I took that fake spider web stuff and wrapped it all around her and stuck little spiders in it, stuck a big spider with wire in its legs on top of her head and attachted it to her muzzle (she is an American pit bull terrier which are banned in ontario and require a muzzle in public, she's not vicious) and had this cute little hallowe'en party collar thing on her neck. She was a spider web, although she kinda looked more like a sheep with a severe bug infestation lol. She hated it, everyone laughed at her, but she put up with it like the good girl she is and went door to door with the little kiddies looking for treats <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It was good pittie PR.

My boy didn't wear a costume, but he got to greet the kids at the door. At his size, he was properly scary, but completely harmless. He did put his nose into everyone's bag of goodies.

No costume story, only a white-knuckling few moments on Halloween...It's light out still, a wild group of toddlers have just launched themselves from someone's SUV and are making their way up my front walk. Mind you, there are about 10 of them with most of the parents being lazy deciding they'd rather stop and chat w/each other instead of accompany their kids to the door. Maybe that's a good thing because somewhere in the crowd a 3 year old Batman decided it would be a good idea to start running and flapping his "wings" to get my dog to chase him . I don't see this of course because I've enlisted the help of my significant other to do crowd control (and foolishly assumed he had everything under control). We have to leave work early every Halloween because our street is famous for being THE spot to go to in our town. To give you an idea, we went thru 20 bags of candy by 4:50 PM!!!

Anyway back to the story; So I'm handing out candy to the little buggers when Batman decides to break from the crowd and engage my GSD. I'm clueless because I'm busy handing out candy to all the other 3 year olds who have now gathered at my feet. My significant other sees this potential lawsuit unfolding and yells, "HONEY! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />"

I look up to see this kid being chased by my dog and as he's running he's making his way to me, arms pumping like mad, legs give out and he crashes to the ground right at my feet with my dog pulling up the rear! " <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />OMG, we're screwed <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />" is all I could think of.

I help the little boy up (his mother still not paying attention) and to my great relief he's laughing. It was clear that it was a very, very nervous laugh, but laughing nonetheless. I could tell he was going to break out into tears if I didn't distract him so I shoved the bucket of candy under his nose and told him to dig in. It worked and to my great relief his mother never stopped talking long enough to see anything.

Oy my those kids and pups are just tooooooo cute....

I did not dress my Lilly up but we told everyone that she was "Frankin Pup" with her freshly made 3rd incision healing nicely.

It is too true about the parents hangin out while their children just do their own thing while trick or treating. My two dogs were permanent fixtures sitting in front of the door on the 31st. Every time the door bell rang they looked like book ends on either side of me. One large group of kids came to the door, the bell rang I answered the door...and this little devil (cute little guy) sees Lilly and just walks right in drops to the ground, arms around her neck....Lilly at this point is having serious issues keeping her butt afixed to the floor...tail thumping the carpet, the other kids looking at him and digging for candy....and then Mom looks up...I thought she was gonna have a heart attack.....this kid is all over the dog, she is licking his face I am holding the bowl of candy ....saying "stay, stay.....". The Mom had to come in and physically remove this child, I thought he was going to cry, but my Lill never broke her sit stay..of course I cheated, or acted like she was deaf...repeating stay and holding my breath. The Mom said she was sorry and uttered a nervous "Nice dog..heh heh"....

Aww its sound like everyone including those with paws had a WONDERFUL time! I just love the photos - thanks so much for the laugh!! =0) I Will get mine posted as soon as possiable.
