Slog - Comments on Dogs in Costumes: This Time, It's Personal http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/dogs_in_costumes_this_time_its_personal My fucking puppy insisted on going as a cheeseburger and fries for Halloween, and lucky for her, Jake has some serious fake-food skills. Diane's costume will go well with mine, for I am going as a famous waitress, who might occasionally instruct fellow citizens to kiss her grits. And Jake is going as Mel. Dianeburger close-up here. (And other pets in costumes here, here, and, most unfortunately, here.)...

Or he wants to eat the food, so he dresses up as the food? Or you want to eat the cheeseburger, so you make your dog look like one? Or you want to eat your dog, and so you disguise the dog as food? It's like Suicide Food writ on a Mobius strip, wrapped in riddle, with an enigma stuffed up its nose, warbling a mystery to the tune of "I've got my eye on you."

Brilliant.

I was all set for my dog to go as Max from the Grinch, but her lazy ass couldn't pull me around on a sleigh.

On the other hand: oh, that poor dog.

However, I'd rather have David Schmader's potentially neurotic dog in this world than even the best-adjusted of your children, 11.

I wonder the feeling of it resembles that kick in the gut feeling when I have to watch these poor animals.
