Message for October 2013

It’s Halloween, and it’s time to dress up
Can you imagine anything worse for a pup?

These humans like costumes, candy, and such
For doggies like me, it all seems a bit much

My masters I keep happy by wagging and tricks
By barking and jumping, and catching those sticks.

Is it too much to ask they forget doggie clothes?
It messes my fur and detracts from my nose.

They want me so scary, a pirate this year
Swashbuckler with patch, a mean dog with a snear,

Captain Sparrow

But I’m meant for joy and for keeping things light
Is it too much to be costume-free for one night?

A Halloween dog, oh it just should not be
I can’t wait for November to go back to “just me.”
