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

The search button can work wonders sometimes. 
Petco.com also has some great halloween costume ideas …
Here's Chuy's from last year. He went as a life guard.
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!
It's better to hop on three legs than to limp on four.™

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! 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! 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.
