A woman with enough plastic surgery to make her eligible for Mount Rushmore, is in Starbucks on her phone.
As I’m pouring milk I hear her say, “I don’t know about Halloween. Should he be a clown or a pirate. I can’t decide. He refuses to wear a mask so, there’s no way he’s going as Trump or Hamilton, which is so disappointing.”
She ends her call as I’m about to leave so I say, “Must be fun having a son to dress up.”
Her brows shoot up like rockets.
“Son?” She thinks for a minute. “Oh, I was referring to Henry, my English bulldog.”
Only in New York.

Hah! Methinks not only in New York, though… there may be more there than here 😉

It is a little over the top, wouldn’t you agree? Would you be discussing Zeke that way? HMM? Being German and all, he could go as, I won’t say it. He’d never stand for a mustache. 🙂

It is a lot over the top to me. Never in a million years.
Zeke would NEVER allow himself to be disguised for any reason whatsoever. 😉

Even in podunk Durango the pet supply stores have doggy costumes. Kyra really should get the angel wings, I think, just for the irony of it!

Personally, I think they’re embarrassed by it. They know how silly they look. If I see Henry with an eye patch, that’s it. His mother will need a lawyer.

I would never really dress up my pet. They don’t deserve that sort of humiliation. It’s bad enough they have to be seen with me.😱

You mean, as opposed to strolling by themselves? If only they could be trusted to obey the pooper scooper law and find their way home…and vote. 🙂

That poor boxer! It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry says “But I don’t wanna be a pirate!”.

You’re selling our four legged friends short. Their mental acuity and their spiritual ferocity far exceeds that of most any two legged peer. Plus . . they forgive us our foibles and they don’t lay down conditions. It’s why they’re humankind’s best friend.

All that is very true, however..I do detect a bit of chagrin whenever they’re forced to even wear a sweater, let alone Doubloons and pieces of eight. if ya get my drift.

SB,
You got a point. And for what it’s worth, I never dressed up my boxer, Molly. As for Mr Speaker, my daughter insists on putting an orange bowtie on him for a pic, after which she takes it off. it’s a tradition at this point. And as for the Sorryless security director, Fig (Ali and Linds’ boy), they plan on dressing him up. But since he’ll be hanging with me in the kitchen, Imma be sure to have plenty of treats at the ready to ease his weary soul.
Chagrin . . in the file.
