I want to enter Mousie in a Halloween Costume contest later this month.
Â
Other than attaching a disposable camera to her head (get it? she's a tripod? meh 
) i cannot think of a good costume.
Â
Any ideas? The goofier, the better. Mousie is a little ham.
Â
I would love to see pics too....if anyone wants to show off....

That is hysterical, LOL! I'll have to put my thinking cap on, and see if I can come up with any ideas.

We just used his float coat , some sticky letters and made the lifesaver out of a foam ring.
Cheap and easy!
Chuy, showing everyone that Tripawds do everything 3 times better than regular dogs!
Super creative! Love it!

Max has gone as a tripod before. Every time he's worn this costume, he wins the costume contest.Â

Max's costume is great – I love it!
I was at work a few weeks ago, showing some people a picture of Zack in his tripawds.com t-shirt, and one person said to me, "Aaawww, you're celebrating the fact that he only has three legs!" Of course- it would never dawn on me to do anything but! We are so proud of & have been more than a little amazed us with his strength and resiliency, and his three-legged existence deserves to be celebrated. This costume is a perfect example!
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.

I am almost done with Chloe's costume!! I bought a child's costume at goodwill and some accessories and modified it to fit her! Â You will have to wait my halloween post to see her in it!
-Chloe's mom
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Ok, so this doesn't really help you for this Halloween, but I wanted to post a picture of Chloe's costume from this year!!! I bought a child's bee vest, modified the arms to fit her robust shoulders, added wings and voila! Â She became Queen Bee of the Tripawds! More details on my blog if you are interested!

She's cute! Great costume! But I'm not sure Chloe is too happy!
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly  January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
