And Now For Something Completely Different

It is time for something a little less depressing, so please, feel free to have a good laugh at the expense of my dogs. I did!

Here they are in their Halloween costumes. No hot dogs, no turning them into little furry humans, none of those cutsie dog costumes, oh no, my dog's costumers are so much better than that. I have turned them into...

RIDERS!

Sadie will wear her troll and LOVE it!

And now, prepare to wet yourself with laughter as you enjoy the race of the century! Watch as my girls put Sea Biscuit and Secretariat to shame!
