Smooch has never gone out on Halloween before, so when she asked me if we could
throw together a costume for her this year and go beg for treats, how could I say no?
Smooch: So tell me again how this works?
Me: When we get up to the door, bark a few times, then say "trick or treat."
Me: Then give the person your most imploring look.
Me: If you're lucky, they won't try to trick you or make fun of your lame costume...
...and they'll just hand over the goods.
Smooch: I love Halloween!
Me: Then we go around the block and change costumes
so they won't recognize you when you knock on their door again.
OMG, I just about lost it when I saw Smooch in her costume. Each pic got better, and are priceless, and had me holding my sides, but the last pic put me over the edge! LOL. Wish we lived closer .. I'd love to have her as a trick or treater!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Happy Halloween!!

Thank you for making me snort coffee up my nose with the last picture (cough cough) sending you cyber candy smoochie from Canada eh ;p boo
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHA! I would totally give treats to both of these trick-or-treaters. They look nothing alike. Are they Groucho and Chico Marx?
ReplyDeleteI wou SO give Smooch tons of treats! She is such a good sport... not that I recognize her.
ReplyDeleteSmooch is such a sweet girl. Lots of treats!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how you are able to catch all these wonderful expressions working alone. Hats off. Your camera work is fab.
ReplyDeleteBest always,
Hahahaha. I love Smooch!
ReplyDeleteYou and Smooch are quite a team! I would love to see her at my door.
ReplyDeleteCutest dog ever.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
Makes me want to go buy costumes for my two woofs. We usually get ten or so kids.
I echo what Pat in TN said!! This has to be one of my all time favorite posts!! Please smooch, Smooch for me!
ReplyDeleteSmooch can trick or treat at my house as many times as she wants. You could bring the whole heard.
ReplyDeleteSmooch you are such a cute little goblin! Love your kissy lips!
ReplyDeleteSmooch is a natural, but I think you're the sly dog. Have fun, you two!
ReplyDeleteSmooch looks so stinkin cute! I totally cracked up at the last photo! One question though...what is Wynonna's costume going to be?
ReplyDeleteNow our dog is mad at me for the lame costume she has-a tutu.
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone resist Smooch-with or without her disguise?
Trying to get back on line with you... Have a good day
ReplyDeleteOh Carson - you are just hilairious! Love pulling up your blog first thing in the morning. It helps to keep me smiling all day long! Wonderful expressions that you caught on camera... and your comments... roflmao!
ReplyDeleteYIPEEEEE, finally took the time and got set up a password and all that good stuff to be able to comment, it has been a long time coming. What a riot....Smooch is SUCH a COOL dog.
ReplyDeleteBwhahahaha! Those are 'two' fine looking dogs in your post.
ReplyDeleteNext year, of course, we want to see costumes on all the critters as 7MSN.
We've never had any little goblins here - I guess they all know we're seniors and probably cheap! But I would love to see Smooch at my door, although I'm afraid Emma the Calico Queen would not approve!

This just set the bar for all pets everywhere to live up to Smooch's wonderfulness.....impossible. Smooch has to be the most patience, loyal, adorable dog ever......Happy Hallowoonie to every critter at 7MSN. Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteSmooch is one incredible muse, isn't she? Never seen a dog with so much expression...outside of Blue Dog. You could do an entire book on her alone....but then everyone else at the ranch would be mad at you.
ReplyDeletehahah oh Smooch, you are such an awesome girl.
ReplyDeleteThe eyebrows are killing me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween all at 7MSN!! Great costume Smooch, hilarious! My pug Pixie has nose envy and just loves Smooch's big, wet nose. Here's wishing you many treats today!!
ReplyDeleteSmooch is just precious. If she trick or treats at my house, she can have all the treats she wants! Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I use to go home and switch mine, too Smooch!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Smooch, if you came to my house trick-or-treating, I'd give you - heck, I'd give you my house!
ReplyDelete(How DO you take such out-of-this-world pictures with only one hand?!)
Happy Halloween Smooch! Love the Groucho eyebrows.
