dog

It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.

Wolfy Scissorpaws
Once there was a floppy-eared pup named Wolfy. He had a curly tail, large, floppy ears and white spots on his chest, chin and throat. Wolfy was a pup of a strange caliber and many people avoided him due to their own fears and assumptions. He was the sweetest soul who just wanted to be loved. Unfortunately, he was a pup with scissors for paws.

I Choose Treats, Always
Hi folks! My name is Millie, and I'm a nine-year-old miniature dachshund who was rescued three years ago. Like my mom, I'm a huge lover of the spooky season—running after squirrels, rolling in dried leaves, getting spoiled with treats, and of course, watching scary movies curled up on the couch. I couldn't wait to celebrate Halloween this year, because I wasn't always physically able to. Life hasn't always been easy-peasy.

Prisoner at Large
A costume should be a departure from what’s real, and calling this girl a bad one is such a stretch it makes me laugh. Right from the start, Abbey’s mean-looking mug kept me feeling both safe and amused on walks. Often referred to as things like “big fella” and “big guy” by strangers, she was actually the sweetest and gentlest soul I’ve ever met in my entire life. She would never hurt a fly, and in fact was responsible for me finding and saving a baby bird, she alerted me to baby bunnies in the yard, and could sense I was about to cry before I even knew. I know that to write about something requires words, but I’m at a loss for them when trying to describe how important she was to me.

Between a pandemic and white people not knowing how to pick out a costume without potentially ruining their lives, Halloween seems a bit intense this year, so I’m going to sit this one out and enjoy the show from my phone. Seriously though, there’s no excuse to wear costumes that offend beautiful groups of people. We should know better and do better.

Cow Dog
Meet my friend Ranger. He’s an Australian Cattle Dog, so of course he dresses as a cow for Halloween. Every year. He’s never worked on a ranch, he’s never had an opportunity to herd any cattle, but he did enjoy meeting one once at a recreated historic village, where he and the cow sniffed each other through a fence, nose to nose. I held my breath while watching, afraid he might decide to start a chase, but he was satisfied just to introduce himself and then move on.

The Craft-y Canine
This is Suzie Q and she is a mischievous Witch that will steal you attention and leave you with regret that you do not have her as a member of your family. She is so cute that you will be drawn in and out under her spell. She is 3 years old and was adopted by ThatMomLexi & ThatCutefamily in 2018 when she was just 6 months old. By joining the little clan, she became ThatCuteDog. You may think you have met a dog like her before, however you will soon find out that she is a unique animal unlike any other of her species.

The Underdog
I guess the role I’m most known for is Underdog. I know what you’re thinking, “Another Beagle playing Underdog, we’re over it!” and I felt the same way.

What is this Obsession with Dogs?
I don’t hate dogs but I am not a huge dog fan. There I said it. I am not a dog owner, although I have been in the past. We always had dogs at home when I was growing up and later in life, I inherited two Golden Retrievers when I married my first husband. I don’t go all doe-eyed when I see a dog, however adorable. If I meet a dog, it generally butts me in a very embarrassing place or leaves strands of disgusting saliva on my nice clean clothes.

Honey, Could You Bee Any Cuter?
Cosmo-tron, Cosmo-sauce, Cosmo the Love of My Life. Whatever he's referred to as, there's no doubt he will perk his ears and superman jump into your lap no matter where you are or how big he is. This year, Cosmo and I decided to dress him up as a bumble bee, one of the nice furry ones that don't sting and save the planet. This will be Cosmo's fourth Halloween since we rescued each other in 2017. This year, his daycare offered to take Halloween pictures of the pups in costumes and Cosmo and I could not say no.

A Tail of Two Puppers
Apparently I married into a family of cannibals... There is a strange theme running through my husband's side of the family.

Dog-Gone-Good Halloween
Rosie, Foxie, Tobie These three dogs are the most amazing all around! They put up with me and my daughter; who is most problematic towards them? My daughter, as if there were any doubt! The three of them are loving, caring, and compassionate. Yes, dogs have feelings! I have been around dogs long enough to know this is true. They provide emotional support for me and physical correction for my daughter, who is disabled. It is genuinely overwhelming what animals will endure and still have a wagging tail for us at the end of the day! I give them special treats for doing extra extraordinary things for my daughter, and if they feel she is getting too angry, they come to hide behind me as they know I won't let anything happen to them.
