What to Be

This is an amazingly fabulous picture of Benny (aren’t they all!)...He’s thinking, if I just get into my zen place, the perfect costume is bound to pop in my head!  I know, I could be a loaf of pugkin bread!

I always look forward to the puggie’s costumes Corrine…You all do such a wonderful job with them every year.  Hmmmm, now I’m trying to think…what could those three darlings be this year…

Sue, I’m so so sorry to hear poor lil’ Abby has to endure surgery.  I know how hard this is going to be for the both of you, but I know that Abby will flourish in your care and be running around as good as new with your help.  Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers and please keep us posted.  Give her a kiss from me!

Our suggestion- The Three Amigos!

how about the 3 little pumpkins.

Well, here is Texas, we have one thing on our minds: WORLD SERIES BABY!!!  You’ve done football, what about baseball?  And sorry Corrine, we kicked your boys to the curb in our quest for the crown!  Tonight is game 1 of Ranger domination!!!

What about a cat, a pumpkin, and a ghost or bat? Or a hot dog, a burger, and a french fry?

At our local Pug Meet Howloween party this past Sunday, one trio of pugs came as bacon, eggs and toast…very cute and unique.

I vote for Heather’s idea!!!!!!!!!

This morning my thoughts are focused on the Rangers, too.  So my first suggestion is to have them go as Cliff Lee, Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler.

If Sleighbelle and I are the only ones who like that idea, how about the Three Musketeers?  Or Snap, Crackle and Pop?

3 stooges?  Manny, Moe and Jack?  I don’t know!!!  3 Musketeers?

Martha, I love your Ranger idea. This is a feeling I’ve never had so it’s great !!! Of course all pugs look super in red and blue so they really couldn’t go wrong with Ranger costumes. HaHa Genevieve does not like to be dressed up at all and I don’t know about Sir Luke. One year we dressed Mollie, our pit bull as a fairy princess and it was too cute. All the trick or treaters got a kick out of it. We could dress Mollie in a Ranger shirt and cap, she will let us do anything to her even paint her toe nails.

How about 2 peas in a pod, with Luna being the pod?

I love all the ideas but my favorite is what Heather said we all know what ever you choose Corrine we will love it

Pooper Cooper:  BAD DOG!!  Snap out of it!

“To Be or Not To Be; That is the question.”  Well, I may as well put my two cents in.  How about:  Stop, Look and Listen; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly; Shake, Rattle and Roll; Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato; Rock, Paper, Scissors. Then there’s my favorite:  Bagel, Lox, and Cream Cheese!  Happy Halloween everyone!

When we lived in the country we had two Boxers and they remained silly and puppyish all their lives (they died in a house fire five years ago).  The girl we had would go outside, roam around and play but when we coaxed the others into the house when we went away, she would pull this Boxer thing and stand just out of our reach even when the others came in.  It was a game with her just getting close enough we thought we could get her, and then she would dart away and grin at us just knowing we couldn’t get her.  She did this over and over, laughing at our unsuccessful attempts until she got tired and came in of her own accord.  You can imagine how frustrated we would be.  Abby would not even consider acting foolish.  She just won’t come in the first place and immediately tries to hide.  Ahhh, Boxers and Pugs, what a combination.

Huckle~ Yes…OMG! Your babies died in a house fire? Please tell me it was smoke inhalation. I’m so sorry!

Yes, I have pictures of Pip in his costume. I will post pics tomorrow on the picture part here!

I forgot to tell everyone…at our last pug club meet up (not pug-o-ween~just a regular meet up) but one man asked if Pip was pregnant!!!! I laughed so hard and told him no and he thought I was offended. I had to tell him I wasn’t and that I thought it was really funny. Pip didn’t think it was that funny though. He gave a big snort and a big ‘harumph’!

Luna = Little Nemo
Benny & Henry are the 2 of the sharks (Bruce & Anchor)

LOL And then some!!! Huckle I can’t even imagine losing babies in a house fire! Yes we have snow! Penguins-or polar bears! Beauty(mom)Proto(son) and Daisey(aunt-boston terrier)could pull of the penguins, but poor little Miss Solsie-she’s a fawn-perhaps white dots and antlers(baby deer)could work for her.As for me-I am dressing up for Sunday worship as a Blues Brother(I’m a pastor)as I will be on a mission from God! We are also going to be singing “Halloween Carols” in place of hymns. Hope all have a great day! Pug-hugs from the Colorado 5

Gina - at least he didn’t pee on him.  I think Georgie would have,  It sounds as if Pip must be as stuffed into his skin as Georgie is although he is starting to wrinkle on his back so hopefully he is losing weight.  Those wrinkles weren’t there before.

The fire was awful only because of losing our dogs and cats.  One of the volunteer fireman told me right off that smoke inhalation would have gotten them.  Obviously we lost everything - again.  Twenty years before that, we lost our home to fire (we always have to go ‘over the top’...no i don’t play with matches! They were both electrical in nature, but we were able to get the pets out then

Sue S - did you make up your own Halloween carols?  What a nifty idea.  Our conservative church would have something self-righteous to say about that holiday(as in thumbs down) and bring that goings on to a halt.  Example - at Halloween time one year, my husband and I were in charge of the treats and punch for coffee hour after church.  To decorate the table, I brought some fall things…leaves, etc. and had this stuffed black cat on the table.  One of the church members saw it and told me not to use it for decoration!  I’m surprised she didn’t give me a ‘time out’ in the corner.

Rescue Remedy has finally arrived.  Now how do I use it?  It doesn’t taste like something the dogs would like.

Sorry this is so long - you know me…;)
