I love Halloween. Who doesn’t? Free tooth decay and crazy people in and out of costumes. What more could you want?
Though I stopped (thanks to a restraining order) dressing up myself, my pups must suffer playing dress up. Yes, it’s mean. Yes, they hate it. And YES I love every minute of torturing them. That’s what they get for getting to sleep on the bed 365 days a year.
Since I became a published author (2010), I started using my main characters of whatever book I am writing as the pups’ costumes. My pups are Bodie (a Weimaraner who’s 12) and Killer (a small, short-legged mutt of something or other who just turned 3). This year’s theme is Little Boy Blue (which Bodie will be playing since he’s senior dog and gets the good roles) and The Tooth Fairy (poor Killer hates his wings and tutu. Thinks it’s emasculating. Go figure) I honor of The Fairyland Murders, releasing in December in case I haven’t mentioned it a time or two.
I’ll post photos on facebook as that’s part of the torture too.
In the meantime, check out some other literary Halloween animal fun!
See the photos by friending me on facebook!
That video is adorable. Katie Cat wouldn’t have any part of the devil hat I bought for her last year, though. I thought it fit her personality very well.
