So I kind of love Halloween and I definitely more than kind of love my dogs - so dogs plus Halloween is like incredible fireworks display of amazing in my heart.
Since my dogs' names are T-Bone and Pork Chop, I thought it would be kind of perfect to dress the dogs up as their namesakes. My friend is a skilled artist and drew the T-Bone and Pork Chop on my Cameo software. From there it was a cinch to cut them out.
What was not a cinch, however, was effectively attaching the paper costumes to my chihuahuas. I laminated the T-Bone and Pork Chop (the paper ones, not the chihuahuas) and bought velco pads to stick on to the dogs' sweaters. The other velcro side would go on the laminated meat products and I would stick it to the dogs. Well, this lasted about two seconds. Pork Chop shook off her pork chop in two shakes of a chihuahua's tail.
I then had to submit myself - and the chihuahuas - to packing tape. Don't worry, all was super humane (though it felt odd to tape things to my chihuahuas).
I was a zombie butcher for Halloween, to fit in with the entire theme. I was the butcher and the dogs were meet - sick and sort of cute. I didn't wear the full face of makeup to the Thompkin's Square Park Dog parade, but I did wear my apron. Pork Chop also had a leash made out of hot dog links - which I thought was awesome.
Overall, a good time was had by all.
We are already trying to brainstorm costumes for next year - any "couples" ideas, send them along ;)
Happy (belated) Halloween!
