Halloween!

First, in my defense, I waited until the day before Halloween when the costumes were 75% off.  Unfortunately, that meant the bumblebee costume that was really exactly Henry was sold out.  So you will not need to ask, Henry is a frog for Halloween.

It was either that or a footballer costume.  I don't want to encourage aggression - so I ruled that one out.  There were a bunch of girlish costumes too, but boy dogies are so easily embarrassed and I didn't want to add something to his background that would require trips to a puppy psych specialist in the future.

Now, for the best news!  We miss Halloween.  Henry is starting his intermediate puppy class tomorrow evening.  He has decided to go as a dog instead of a frog.  He just feels he will get more respect that way.  I have my doubts, but will not share them with Henry.

I am thinking of putting Henry in the PetSmart Puppy Hotel for our next trip to Eugene.  It can be arranged with play time visits and a treat time that looks pretty neat.  I checked out the facility and it looks very clean, well organized with lots of workers.  If anyone has first hand knowledge, I'd like to hear!

    This year Billy is a skeleton dog, and momo is a turtle--cousin to the frog-dog, I'm sure!

    However, Momo was a bumblebee a couple years ago. We'll have to dig up the pictures!!

  2. Do you take them out to terrorize the neighborhood kids? What a brilliant way to stock up on extra candy!

  4. He kindly left it on long enough to take the picture. Then he demonstrated that he thought of it more as a chew toy.

  6. This year Hunter came as 15 year old mostly deaf (selectively) mostly blind, golden retriever. He really pulled it off. He saw Henry's pictures and wants to be sure Henry knows that his humans really do love him, no matter what they make him go through.

  7. Take Henry to PetSmart day care a couple of times 1st. According to Dr. Karrie, this will help!
