Halloween is creeping up on me. I haven’t done a very good job preparing for it this year, mostly because I’m staring down the barrel of a deadline. What do you know, I have to have this book turned in by October 31. What a coincidence that it’s the same day as Halloween! Scary. It’s also my son’s birthday.
Last week my dog tried on a shirt she thought about wearing for Halloween, but she wasn’t sure she liked being a dinosaur. I thought a Princess might work.
She wouldn’t let me paint her toenails or do her hair.
Next we tried something that better fits her personality.
Thankfully, I had at least one person respond to my begging plea for a Halloween costume photo of her pet. Thank you, Pat Stoltey! Katie Cat is adorable even if she did feel insulted and turned her back to the camera. A valiant effort from you both!
It’s not too late to send me your pet costume photos. Halloween is exactly one week away, so I will post what you send me if you get it to me by Halloween day. Your pics will appear on the blog Friday, November 1. Please send your pet photos to jkduvall@bendbroadband.com
My cat Ted thinks all this Halloween stuff is pretty funny. He went through his humiliation last year so this year is pure entertainment for him.
Have a screamy Halloweeny!

Too funny. Katie Cat is still not speaking to me, but I might try to sneak in one more costume idea…something a little less froo-froo. I hope you get some more good photos, Karen, because this is a fun idea. I’ll help spread the word. And Ted’s photo is a hoot. How did you ever catch him with that expression?
LOL, Pat. Ted is yawning and it was a lucky shot. 🙂
This is the perfect opportunity to skip work and do something creative.
Yay! I can’t wait to see what you come up with for your pups. 🙂
