Happy Halloween from the Super Pugs
Well, another Halloween is coming to fruition. Each year we turmoil and ask ourselves (and often ask others, too), "What will the pugs be for Halloween?"
This year was especially challenging. We have a steadfast rule of "no repeats" and this year we do feel like we are kind of teetering on that line. By far the best costumes ever was the year that the boys (pre Luna) dressed as Batman & Robin. So that is why this year, the SuperHeroes theme is blurring the line of what constitutes a repeat.
In any event, we went with Superman (Henry), SpiderMan (Benjamin) and Wonder Woman (Luna). The thought process behind these SuperHeroes more lay in the behind the scenes thoughts. We first thought of Benjamin being SpiderMan since he has an arachnoid cyst in his spine. Arachnoids are spiders, thus, naturally, Benjamin makes an ideal SpiderMan. Henry, the only one (knock wood) that has dodged many a health ailment would then of course be SuperMan. Thus leaving Luna, the trooper dog of the century, fits the Wonder Woman costume (mind, body, spirit) to a tee (and boy does she ever rock her costume).
The group will try to go to the 4 or 5 neighbor's homes tonight in hopes of gathering some goodies. The walk this year seems miles long but we will be sure they don't miss a door. Henry will hoof it for sure. Benjamin will make a few driveways and then we will carry him. Luna will likely get carried right from the start. Seeing as how they have not come to love the Solsey pouch or the Solsey stroller yet my forearms and biceps will get a good workout.
We have to come to the reality that this will probably be the last year that they go trick or treating and thus likely the last year the canines will be costumed but they won't mind. They will just show up in the kitchen next year, dressed as a pug, begging for treats at the door of the fridge and then the door of the pantry. That will be enough to suit them.
Happy Halloween to the young, young at heart and the too old to care. OBP is almost there, too. 
Check out Benjamin, Henry and Luna's previous Halloween costumes.

Love! What a trio they are. I feel safer now, knowing those three cuties are out there protecting us from evil!! Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween to the “super pugs”————they certainly are the most adorable super heroes I have ever seen!!!!!!
Oh so much to say with this. First, I think in the third picture down, Henry is puffing out his chest and putting his chin in the air and he is definitely thinking, “I am Superman.”
Benny makes an adorable Spiderman.
And Luna..sweet Looney Tunes who has stolen my heart… she is the perfect Wonder Woman. So pretty and so proud of herself. I can’t get over it.
Even though they can’t go trick or treating next year, they can still have costumes for photos right?
Great picture of the gang. Happy Puggleween.
they are great pictures of the super pugs sad to think this is there last year to trick or treat you could get a wagon and put all three in it that way they get to visit and get treats
Their costumes are fabulous!
Henry is a great Superman! In his pictures, it almost looks like he’s puffing out his chest to really look good! He’s the best Superman ever!
Benjamin! When I saw him, I started humming the theme from the tv show! Yes, I remember the show, and yes, I remember most of the lyrics. And for him, “Friendly neighborhood Spiderman” is perfect!
And our sweet Luna! Wonder Woman is the perfect costume for her! Her spirit is definately that of a Super Heroine! Luna is my model of toughness! You are right, she definately rocks the costume!
I just love how each of them look in their costumes! I hope they each get some good puggie treats tonight!
I just spent a few minutes enjoying looking at the pictures from the past Halloweens! I remembered them all! I’ve always loved the song “Benny and the Jets”, so that year really tickled me. And the first one with the boys as Batman and Robin must have really struck a chord with people, because I’ve seen pics of them in those costumes on other places.
Thank you for all the fun of getting to look back!
I can add nothing further to what has been said. Henry is a very proud Superman, Benny is quite the Spiderman and Rockin Luna…well…
Annie dressed as Super Woman at a costume party when she was at doggy daycamp. She went as a princess to the Pug Howloween party this last Sunday.
It seems so sad that this will be the OBP gang’s last tot outing, but certainly understandable. I bet you are right, they will be just as content, if not more so, to park in front of the frig and the pantry.
Thanks Corrine for the trip down memory lane.
Happy Halloween.
I LOVE these pictures of the OBP gang in costume! I particularly love Miss Looney Toons as Wonder Woman!
I loved revisiting all the Halloween costumes from over the years. I’ve been following Henry, Benjamin and Luna since 2007, and am sad to think there won’t be any more Halloween costumes coming in the future. Maybe they could be costumed for some nice, stress-free photos next Halloween, instead of going out Trick or Treating??
I love the costumes! I wish mine would let me put costumes on them, I can barely get a neckerchief on them. I actually have Henry and Benny aka Batman & Robin as my Halloween screen saver at work!
I am duly impressed. They all look so great, but Luna actually looks happy. She often looks kind of sad but she’s got a big old smile going on in several of the pictures.
LOL! What a great group of pictures-Ms.Luna definitely has Linda Carter beat. This was the best Halloween treat-tahnks for the memories,too. Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2
Super heroes for sure!!!! Happy Halloween, even if they do not get dressed ip next year, bet they will get treats!
What gorgeous pugs, your blog is great!
