I'm never all that creative, and Murphy hates wearing anything.
I love, love, love the shark bite victim! See, nurses just sort of have a different sense of humor, so it fits right in! 
Of course, I love all of the others, too! Jasper Lily looks great with her ears or the costume ears! lol

I can't take credit for the surfer idea- I've seen it here at least a couple of times.
Alison- yea...no! It's November, no more costumes. Elly was none to pleased to be wearing her outfit. She only had it on for about 20 min, I think you can see from the pic that she wasn't happy.
And Maggie...when she turned 1 we took her up to a local lake and we rented a boat. Because pugs are chest heavy and have no snout they are not good swimmers. Mag loved the water and I was concerned that she would jump out of the little boat so I got her a float coat . As soon as I put it on her she turned into a statue! She would not walk, sit or move in any way. We put her in the boat and she didn't move while we were on the water, never looked around. As soon as we hit land and took the coat off she came to life again.

Karen ~ not sure if you've seen this video yet (hopefully it will work!) ...but as soon as I read about Mag & her not moving with the life jacket on, I knew you needed to see it!
