howloween

last friday, the baron and the husband participated in their yearly ritual of dressing the dogs up in impossible adorable outfits, only to have those outfits ripped off by the dogs in protest. (apologies for the dusky photos.)

to wit, see dexter (in the skirt, as a princess) and tucker (in the jersey, as a basketball player). 'photo op' is a concept lost on them, and halloween proved no exception. these two refused to stay still; instead, they chased each other around the yard. dexter eventually tore the hem of her dress, and tucker lost his nba wristbands.



harlan showed the baron a marginally better time by staying still for the camera, though he was so grumpy in his costume (pumpkin) that he appears vaguely menacing and michael myers-esque in his photos:



baron, on the other hand, loved his costume. it turned out to be a little large for him, but he was glad to wear it around the house, especially if it meant alone time with the baron.



last is chester, who was forced into a lobster costume. the baron and the husband quickly discovered that cats don't actually like to be put into clothes. in the photo below, doesn't it look like the lobster is EATING jinxy?
