Do You Like To Dress Up?

I'm a bit worried this year...Mom took me to the hair dresser on Friday.  I got a new scarf.  I'm thinkin' this might be my Halloween costume.  Last year I was a cowgirl, but I've put on a few pounds....I'm not a puppy anymore.

Mom put MY cowgirl costume on Ginger.  Ginger didn't like it.  The funny thing was she stayed in the living room on the chair watching me for the longest time EVER.  Maybe cats can't move if you put them in costumes, which is pretty cool, 'cause then you can lick them. 

Thankfully, Mom whipped out an wicked cool costume for me...I am a bumble bee.   I even have a stinger!  I love Halloween!  You can guarantee I'll have my costume on all day!  I'll greet every one of those kids who comes to our house looking for candy treats...

I hope Mom and K take me for a walk in my costume so everyone in the neighborhood can see me...I hope all of you have a happy and safe Halloween!  If you are a grown up, make sure you check your kid's candy when they bring it home and kids, don't eat any of it until your parents or guardians or big brothers have checked it and make sure you carry a flashlight when you are walking in the dark!

Animal Lover Award, Last Chance For This Month, and An AWESOME Link

My friend Gary, in Leek, England (the setting of my pb manuscript EVERYONE DID THEIR PART & my mg wip NOT A HOLIDAY) created this award featuring his lovely dog Penny...It is to be passed along to animal loving bloggers.  I've met several bloggers that really helped me when my Stripes passed away.  I don't know what I would have done without their support and continued friendship...So I'd like to pass Gary's award along to them, plus a couple other animal lovers.  :)
