Bittersweet Halloween

This is our dog Missy who my husband calls the GD (the good dog) and this is one reason why she is so good. She let me put this silly devil's costume on her and even went out in public down the street for a walk this afternoon. She didn't even try to take it off. Unlike the LD (lucky dog as my husband refers to Darcy) who did not like his Monsters, Inc. hat.



These costumes were bought for them by my dear friend Linda who I'm sure was trying to cheer me up and it worked. Yesterday we had to put one of our dogs, Balou, to sleep. He was 15 years old and was a rescue dog so I feel like he had a pretty good life. But it doesn't make it any easier to let them go. The vet came out to the house and after he was gone my husband buried Balou in the back yard next to a menagerie of other pets that have been lost over the years. Goats, chickens, rabbits, and other dogs. They become like your kids and no matter how mad they sometimes make you, the unconditional love they give is priceless. I will miss you Balou......

I know how hard it is to lose a pet and I am thinking of you.

Oh, how sad about your dog, they are such great companions for you, I don't have any pets as I don't have a backyard and I would not be able to go away without imposing on someone to look after them. Great outfits for the dogs, did you dress up as well?
