Thanks, Val

I always feel so sorry for the animals that are dressed up for the holidays.

Hey buddy

dress yourself up

but leave your dog alone! :guitarist

Some of them enjoy it, Cher. I never dressed Tamsen up (although she

did look awfully fetching in my pearls!!) but she was one of the rare ones

who got SUCH a kick out of Halloween... absolutely NO fear at all.

I think I've told the story here before, but Tamsen kissed a little princess

once... made her tiara slip it was soooooo SWEET!!

Awww Val that's so cute :-6

I can just see Halloween at my house now: every *single* time the doorbell rings, Buster will bark like a madman

He even does it when the doorbell rings on a television commercial :rolleyes:

Oh gosh, I'm sure that is a little chihuahua on that website going after what looks like chicken :wah: how typical. :wah:

Thanks for the link valerie - I like the tips. I'm too embarrassed to tell what my chi's do to the christmas tree

Yes, thanks Val that was a very useful post! I would never have thought about the christmas tree lights wire being in the way of some sharp teeth!

That is exactly it too

Seems my little hairy one can't tell the difference between indoor trees and outdoor trees. :-3
