Monday Blues Beater: Pets in Costume

I just love animals dressed up in costumes! (I'm easily amused when it comes to anything with fur). I'm reminded of when I was little and would dress my cat Teddy up in doll clothes and cute little bonnets - my memories of those days are much more fonder than his! (and yes, he's still alive - 23 years old this year!)

The Big Dog:

"What have I done to deserve this? What is happening? Have I done something bad again? Oh my, I'm so ashamed..."

The Cat:

"What kind of new fresh hell is THIS ?!"

The Little Dog:

"As a dog of petite stature I have resigned myself to this fate. Master dresses me up to look ridiculous on a regular basis anyway - what's one more humiliation? *Sigh"

Those who are impressed with themselves no matter what: a.k.a. The Lab, Golden Retriever, puppy, and one odd-ball cat

Pets who have no idea what's happening and therefore are easy targets:

The Laboratory of Satan

Half of a stereoscopic french devil tissue view (diablerie) from the 1870s.

These tissue views are made of three layers. First is the ‘normal’ albumen photographic paper. Second is a painted tissue behind the photograph. Third is a white protection tissue. If you hold the picture against a light, the colors come through. The glowing eyes of the skulls are pinpricked and labeled with a red translucent material.

Zombies attack TO!

IMPORTANT NEWS ALERT

On October 24th over 1000 of the living dead rose from their graves to wander the streets of Toronto in search of brains at the 7th Annual Toronto Zombie Walk.

There were no reported survivors... No one got out alive... The dead still walk...

Who you gonna call? NOT THE GHOSTBUSTERS!

If you are still not a believer in the walking dead then visit the Toronto Zombie Walk 2009 Flickr site here to witness more gore, guts, and mayhem with your own eyes.

View at your own risk!
