My husband Rob and I have a lot of things in common that we absolutely love — vegan food, hot summer weather, hiking trails, road trips — but maybe our favorite thing on the planet is pictures of dogs dressed up as dinosaurs for Halloween. I don’t know what’s wrong with us, we just like it okay 😂 So our first year with Walter, we bought him a little dinosaur costume for Halloween and were extremely jazzed for our dreams to come true.
Walter does ‘passive resistance/acceptance’ well — I like to think that being a stray dog the first year of his life (pre-rescue) has made him amendable to most situations happening around him. But this series of pictures demonstrates his feelings on this costume better than any description: “hey, what’s that in your hand?’ to “I already hate it” to “I hate it but I’ll sit here” and then in the last picture, when I picked him up, (you can tell it’s three years ago because I have short brown hair, ah!) his look of canine malaise and disappointment never ceases to send me into complete hysterics.
Don’t worry, we took him out of it pretty much immediately. At the house we lived in up in the Berkshires, it had an old, noisy radiator that made Walter afraid and so we just bundled up and shivered our last month so that our dog wasn’t scared. 😂 That’s the kind of dog parents we are!
Anyway - happy Halloween from me, Rob and Walter (sans costume!) 🎃👻
