Well, since I am an avid vintage Kodak camera collector and I own a tripawd I thought it would only be fitting for Roxy to be a "camera tripod" for Halloween...
And Miss Charlee is my "watchdog"...
Roxy…Border Collie cross born on approximately October 27th, 2011;
Rescued in January 2012 by Oops a Dazy Rescue & Sanctuary;
Right hind leg amputated on January 20th, 2012 due to a severe spiral fracture;
Adopted on February 21st, 2012 by Teena, a devoted human & Charlee, a purebred BC.
Hugs, tail wags & sloppy kisses
LOL. Those are very cute and creative costumes. I don't have pictures of the big girls in theirs yet (Adelaide is going to be the cheshire cat and Aissa a spider). But their little sisters posed earlier this evening.
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com
Oh, Sam LOVED Halloween! Sadie hates it...the cats, well, except for Momo, who tolerates it...largely bc he's too fat nd lazy to object, they hate it too. But Sam absolutely pranced any time he got to wear clothes. Except for the squirrel outfit. That one sort of depressed him 
Here's a link to last year's album... With captions, so you can tell who is who (in case their disguises fool you! :p). And don't worry Salty, you can see them, even without a Faceborg account

Now we've got nuutin' but cuteness going on here on this thread! Thanks Roxy and Miss Charlee for getting the ball rolling! Tripod! Clock!! Very, very clever!! And two mighty cute pups too!
Alright Karma, what have we got? A butterfly and a Court Jester, right? Very, very cute! Cant wait to see Addy and Aissa! If a giant bubble shows up at your door trick or treatin', you'll know who it is!
Thanks Megan!! I can see them!! Hard to believe that ole' stubborn Sam allowed you to dress him up! AND he liked it!! I guess he figured out "real men" dress up in Halloween outfits and feel secure and confident when they do!! Unless you're a squirrel! He'd rather eat those than dress up as ne!
Love your fireplace mantel with umpkins. Nice.
Thanks for the smiles everyone!
"Salty" and Happy Hannah
Watch outif any trick or treaters show up as bunnies. Could be "you know who"!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
THOSE TEEEEEEETH! Gus! You are weirdin' me out boy!! This is a great photo!

Well...I'm certainly NOT going to show you Jill in her costume before Halloween, but I can show you some of her from Halloween's past!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Here was our's from quite a few years back. I had to keep pausing the movie so I could get the capes just right! I put so much work into them I haven't done it again since.
Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
Badges??? We don't need no stinkin' badges!!!
