Early Halloween Humiliation

Well, I'm not proud of this, but I actually purchased Halloween costumes for my dogs. I have no idea what came over me--I was shopping at Target with Teddy and he was really enthusiastic...it seemed like a good idea at the time!

So I give you...

Prisoner Cosmo
Pirate Petey

and Princess Hazel

Speaking of Hazel--she seems to be completely better. If you don't know what I'm talking about--she had a couple of seizures last week but all the blood work came back normal and now she seems fine. Hopefully it was some kind of fluke.

These pictures crack me up because you can tell by their expressions that they know they should be embarrassed!

Anyway, here are all the dogs together:

And here's Cosmo trying to escape from his costume:

Now--here are the answers to the mystery pics from yesterday:

1.

It's a nutcracker--you lift the tail and the dog's mouth opens...

2.That's a "coal scuttle." An olde-time thing to keep coal in.

3.A "flower frog"--you put water in it and put the flower stems in the little holes to keep them in place.

4.This is an old farm tool--I'm not sure what it's called--but I think it was attached to something and used to till the ground.

5.Egg cups!

6.

This is a pulley--and I think that is a railroad spike stuck in there Whoever guessed that--good job!!

7.

This is a potato basket.

8.

This is a decorative piece (I think!) off of an old wood-burning stove.

Very well done on the guessing!!
