Hilarious! We have 2 chi-weenies and we love to dress them up for Halloween. They don’t love it as much but they pose for the pictures!

Since I am a dog parent, the closest I get to trick or treating is going to a charity Halloween Pet Parade. We walk around the block. At each corner there are people handing out treats for the dogs and candy for the people. My dog Blitzkrieg went as Balloon Boy http://condo-blues.blogspot.com/2009/10/blitzkriegs-balloon-boy-costume.html.

Hey Erica,

Here’s a video all about how we travel with little Burger. One of the tips that works for us is to leave the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, which prohibits housekeeping and other service people from entering the room while you’re away (thereby calming your nerves along with your pooches). Hope it helps!

xo,

PS. I just wanted to add that Ernie is fully potty trained and he only barks when someone knocks at the door. We plan on following your advice of leaving the tv on so he has some background noise.

Hi Sherry,
You’re going to think I’m a total whacko for asking this…but when you guys travel with Burger and you’re out for the day, do you ever worry that someone will steal him from your room? My husband and I have an 8 month old Tibetan Spaniel puppy and he’s quickly become the apple of our eyes.

This coming weekend is our 1 year wedding anniversary and we’d like to do a quick weekend getaway. We’d like to bring Ernie with us, but I have all of these bad thoughts about the housekeeper or one of the hotel employees (who have key access to the rooms) stealing our little guy. We get so many compliments on him and of course, as parents we’re biased but we think he’s the cutest puppy ever and I’m so afraid that someone will steal him! (Has this dog turned me into a crazy person or what??) I would be more than devastated if anything happened to him.

My brother and sis-in-law hosted a fab Halloween Party – loads of alcoholic drinks and much laughing at costumes – leprechaun, robin hood, Dennis the Menace, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz etc……Great, great night but what a hangover on Sunday.

My husband mentioned we were throwing a Mad Men inspired Halloween party. We've posted pictures on our blog: The Sand Pail List.

Our little dog was a hot dog too!! Like Burger, she would rather eat a hot dog than wear one! Here is a link to a pic of her: http://redheadscraftmorefun.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween-hot-dog.html Happy Halloween! PS: Love the blog!!

My boyfriend’s little sister saw Julie & Julia earlier in the year, and decided to go as Julia Childs for Halloween. She was so cute! Too bad most people had no idea who she was and thought she was a “just” a cook or something. We didn’t stay out long since she had 4 (yes, FOUR) soccer games earlier in the day and was tired. It was still lots of fun, though. I hope you two enjoyed yourselves!

P.S. Burger’s costume is/was too cute! If I ever decide to do something similar with my rather large and fluffy cat, I’ll be sure to send you the results!
