Costume Hell

I'm sure you all know what it's like: you stress for weeks about what your dog (or kid) will wear for Hallowe'en. You go to a dozen different stores - no selection, sold out, obscene prices - before you find that one perfect costume. You snatch it off the shelf before anyone else gets it, run home, try it on your puppy, and it's everything you ever dreamed for him, and not a moment too soon. Off to the party, to show the world how unbearably adorable your baby is in his perfect costume. He sits sweetly, patiently in the car as you pull into your parking spot. Trots gently toward the door. Enters the room. BOOM - he's off in a blur, costume and fur flying everywhere. So much for that.

Lewis (above) entered the room dressed up as the devil. He was very cute (in an evil sort of way). In the end his mommy and daddy only managed to get his devil horns back on.
