  • My best friend Steph and I (in orange shirt) with a couple of lovely fairies

    Sweet purple fairy minus the long hair

    Cost of costumes: $4 each. All items purchased at Dollar Tree :D

  • Robyn,

    Your fairies are so cute! I fear that Cory and Jayden would have eaten their costumes….especially my boll weevil, Jayden. They did enjoy seeing the trick or treaters at the door. We had to keep them on their leashes in the house to keep them from escaping.

    We used to dress up our Basset Hound, Mitzi, every year and she enjoyed all the attention that it got her. She was a tri-color with a lot of black on her back. We dressed her up as a bumble bee one year and both she and the kids coming to the door loved it.

  • Oh, Robyn, tooo cute!

  • I hope your dogs aren't as vindictive as I fear mine would be. I guess I could dress up Jet as he's "retired" from agility.

  • They are sooo adorable, fantastic costumes!!!

  • How cute!!!! Lola would NEVER tolerate that… she would fake choke the whole time. And Booger would roll his eyes.

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    When my daughter was 10-11, we went to the Basenji National, I think in Indianapolis. She showed in Juniors at the time, and I think showed a few of our adults too. They had a costume contest (it was before Halloween) and she and our Spicer entered. I made her a Dorothy outfit, and Spicer's 'witch' outfit. I attached a 'gown', to a dark lure coursing shirt (sorry, forget what they are called), that dragged on the floor when he walked. I took some glow in the dark paint and wrote on the gown "I'M MELTING" She's 32 now, married, and I gave the dog stuff to her a couple of years ago. You'll just have to take my word for it, they were adorable! Oh, for the next couple of years when the kids went trick or treating, Spicer got to go, wearing his costume too. He held his head so high, I like to think he was so proud that he won the costume contest. After all, Monica was cute, but HE won!
