Ghosts and Goblins Oh My!

Happy Halloween to all our bloggy friends!

A giganormous amount of treats were consumed to allow our Mum to snap these pictures. Bribery has its high points!

Can No One Save Us!?

Halloween is coming and with it, ghosts and scary corgis are invading out house! Can no one save us from these specters of Halloween? If you can, please comment and tell us how!!!

Shameless Self-Promotion...Again

I had Mum enter me into the Petsmart Halloween Contest. I know, I know, I enter every year and lose but the odds are getting better with each try. This year I am using my Senor Puppy Pants outfit again.

If you have time and the inclination, I would appreciate a vote. If you are incredibly bored or have no job, you could vote for me every day, which is what I am making Mum do.

Click here to vote for me, #114.

Mum said perhaps some personal reflection might be order since Cooper has never entered the contest and I enter any contest where my picture will be on the Internet. And the problem with this would be?

If I win it will be through no assistance of my Mum that's for sure!

Martha and Bailey - We're With You!

Mum put the Halloween decorations up but we knew this was just her attempt to catch us off our guard and snap a picture. Nice try Mum but it won't work with us savvy dogs!

Martha and Bailey have had a call to arms for all dogs and cats who are subjected to flashy boxes, day in and out! No more posing, no more smiles, no more looking cute. (The specific instructions can be found at Martha's blog in Scotland, click here to view and take notes).

Coop made sure the flash did not work and that he was not looking at the camera. Mum was totally foiled! BOL!

Getting Ready for Halloween Contest

Well Mum is finally home from her Women of Faith conference which she abandoned us for - sure fine, go sing Amazing Grace with 15,000 women in Portland and leave us to fend for ourselves. The emotional agony is more than we could bear. However, she is back and even though the only thing she brought back was a kidney infection, we are happy to have her in residence again.

As many of you know, there are Halloween contests going on all over the doggie blogosphere and even in my tenuous health state, I agreed to pose because I think we all know my that my audience is important to moi. Cooper and Dottie, whatever.

Cooper is going as an Oregon State fan and he let Mum put this ridiculous shirt on him from Animal Crackers. If you knew Cooper you would realize he hates Halloween and dressing up so this was a big step for the boy. Don't tell him but I think he is looking pretty good.

Nice post huh? Kind of dramatic with him looking off to the football field.
Logo in place? Oh yeah.

Here's Miss Dottie in all her regalia. She does well in the collar costumes.

This is moi. Because of my injured leg I couldn't put my new orange prison outfit on so I decided to wear the tres chic collar as well. Hold yourself back ladies, I know...I take your breath away - and it's not because I only bathe four times a year. Autographed photos are still only $1.00 plus postage.

Dress Up Cooper

Cooper here: I went through out photo box and found these lame attempts of Mum to dress me up last year and the year before. As you can see, it is one bad dream after another. What possesses this woman to inflict this kind of damage to my psych every year? If I could dial the ASPCA I would. The bottom line is that I am an American Cocker Spaniel with auburn hair - orange is not my color Mum! Get a grip here!

This was such a stupid idea,
a velvet collar in orange and black.
Mum thought this would be cute for
Halloween 2007. I pretended to sleep
through the entire photo shoot.

There has to be a law against this costume.
Do I look happy? Noooooo I do not.
I look like I just escaped from a
kindergarten play on vegetables.
This outfit goes into the Goodwill bag now.

Let's Play Dress-Up!

I stick my tongue out at you for making me dress up for Halloween, thhhhp!

I am available to be a road flagger when you need me.

Perhaps the young lady would like to take a twirl on the dance
floor with Senor Puppy Pants? Si?
