It's All About the Dog

Phoebe in her squirrel costume!  

A little pathetic. Yes we know.

"Enough already, Mom!"

"Please... get this thing off me."

Phoebe wanted to chew on her costume.  She thought it was a plush toy! Her little legs kept getting caught up on the inside.

One last shot before the joyful removal of the costume!

"Ahhhhh relief!  No more squirrely costume!"

Phoebe much prefers being "natural" and comfortable.

And look!  Isn't this cute?  Another handmade felted Bichon to add to my collection.

Isn't this adorable? A sweet vintage photo to add to my "little white dog" photo collection.  This one reads, The day we got Susie November 1958.

Halloween is upon us.  What are you (or your dogs) wearing this year?

Holly, that costume on your Phoebe is ADORBS! It's really Miss Ph who is adorbs in the costume. And the felted Bichon and the vintage photo ... I am in Bichon Bliss.

Now my new mission is to work on destaining Chloe's face. Silvie recommends white vinegar. What do you use?

OMD, that costume is hilarious - she looks great in it, but she must be just mortified - BOL. We don't have any costumes for this year, whew, that's a relief to us.

Mom absolutely LOVES that handmade Bichon - she would love some of those of us. And that pretty crocheted doily under it reminds her of work her grandmother used to do.

Happy Halloween.

I would have to put a second mortgage on my house to costume my seven!!! I might have to make the Little's and the Mini's a tulle collar!

Love to you both!

Oh poor Phoebe! I'm sure she would rather be chasing squirrels if she's anything like sparky!! The photos are too funny! She does look quite relieved to have it off. I love the old photo-very cool!

Phoebe would not be safe in that costume around my dogs, they think squirrels are for chasing!

So funny, and your sweet doggy is adorable. What a fun photo to add to your collection.... 'the day we got Susie' ... we know their lives were happier due to that little white dog : )

That costume is priceless! And I love the old photo. They really knew how to make a photo look important in the 50's didn't they? Those edges...

We could never get Kodak to wear one and Hannah would tolerate the witchy hat . . . Sophie will have none of it :(

What a fun and adorable costume! My dog chases squirrels... I wonder if she would get confused and chase herself? Ha!
