Since we don’t have kids of our own yet Dustin and I kind of think of our dogs as kids.  We (I?) like to take them wherever they can come but because they are so big it’s not always so easy.  This year we decided to take a chance and try taking them to our church’s Trunk-or-Treat.  But what kid goes trick-or-treating without a Halloween costume?  So after months of brainstorming (over a year really since we failed to come up with anything cool for last year) and some help from Google here’s what we came up with:

Gus as the Headless Horseman

Clover as Batdog

Ready for the trunk-or-treaters

The girls!

The dogs were surprisingly well behaved and seemed to make a good impression on kids and adults alike.  The best part, and proudest moment for mom and dad was at the end of the evening a little boy named Vaughn René asked if he could walk one of the dogs.  We gave him Clover, but after about 10 minutes he asked for Gus.  At this point his sister Savannah asked if she could walk Clover.  It was awesome to watch them with our dogs.  The kids were good, the dogs were good and we just sat back and watched to make sure no one left our sight.

Stay tuned for next year, we’ve got another great idea in store!
