I love the "candy theme" you have going with your sweet Rottie pack
The rest kf is better gdtthan on the ball! Halloween is just around the corner!

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!
I was lazy this year and didn't feel like making any costumes or even buying any so I went through my costumes and stuffed the dogs in a Mickey Mouse and Clown outfit. Of course they were thrilled.

OHHHHHH PENNY!!! HILARIOUS!!
In addition to how creative and adorable the costumes are (Penny makes these herself!), the looks on their faces truly are priceless!! 🙂
You and your puos really know how to throw a Halloween Pawty!! I am soooo impressed with the truly unique and one of a kind costumes to make!
Love and hugs always!

I love it. They didn't have any costumes that were cute this year at Petsmart for some reason. So I decided to do the candy theme. I love it. I will have to have someone take my picture with Snickers and post. 🙂

Frankie really is a BASKET OF LOVE
But he certainly has taught Merry Myrtle some naughty things that never would have occurred to her until he showed her how much fun being naughty could be...counter surfing, trash diving, water from the toilet (flushed or not..eeww), 
taking a three night four day vacation without telling me where they were going,...okay...you get the point!
Love!

This is a " blast from the past"! Happy Hannah as a very unhappy and piffed off Minnie Mouse.

Definitely not a new one, either, but here's good old, very patient Gus as Billy Bob.

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!
Oh it's just so hard since Shelby was just a lovely model and such a good sport ... here are a few from the archives! 
Shelby Lynne; Jack Russell/Shiba Inu mix. Proud member of the April Angels of 2014.
October 15, 2000 to April 8, 2014
Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Oh, these are wonderful. Such a fabulous range of costumes. I'm afraid our planning was not quite what it might have been, but the girls suggested a summer holiday theme, in the hopes that it might lead to ice cream...
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
Haw haw haw! All the doggies are such good sports! Love these!

Oh gosh! I remember Gus as scary Billy Bob Thornton very well! And it's still creepy!! 🙂
And then we have the LOVELY SHELBY!! Okay, if I recall, we're looking at a Roaring 20's hoofer....an adorable French Maid.....and...hmmm....a transgender Fairy Princess with a purple beard?
Our summer fashion models look stunning in their summer hats!! Meg...gorgeous! Elsie Pie.....speechless...in the best way!!

Okay, Stoner the cat is dressed up as a neutered cat. See the notch I. His ear? Yeah, that means he was one of the "drop offs" I was able to get neutered.
Guess I was "tricked" !
And then we have Merry Myrtle dressed up as a lawn mower.
