Don't be scared!

It's October 1st!!! And you know what that means...just 30 days until the scariest night of the year. (And also one of the most fun if you're a little doggie in New York.)

So that means it's time to find the perfect costume for the big Halloween party at the dog run. We also have a party across the street at the park AND a kids' parade to the playground. So my costume gets a whole lot of mileage!

For my first Halloween, I was Petey the Pirate. I was just 8 months old here! You can't see it, but Mommy had a hoop earring stuck in the bandana. ARRRR!

I wore the same sweater the next year with a big rhinestone necklace of Mommy's. Can you guess what I was?

A gangsta rapper!

Then we joined the dog run and started going to the big Halloween Party there. For two years in a row, I was a Devil Dog! 
Whenever I'd try to shake off my devil horns, Mommy would tell me I looked like Little Red Riding Hood and remind me "Nobody is scared of Little Red Riding Hood!"

Some German tourists stopped us on the street—they'd never seen a doggie in a costume before and took my photo to share with their friends back home!

This was my prize-winning costume from the Halloween party last year. Can you guess what I am? It's not what you think at first glance....

I was STING and Mommy wore a hat and badge and was THE POLICE! hehehehe!

I won a prize because I kept my costume on for the WHOLE party. Even the hat! In fact, I kept my costume on for nearly 7 hours.  I posed for lots of photos with other bumblebees, like this adorable little girl.
Then on our way home, later that night, there were lots of adults out in costume, some rather skimpy (and not appropriate for our PG-rated blog!). We were nearly home when we got stopped by two rather scantily clad ladies—one was a ladybug and the other...you guessed it...was a very buxom bee. She insisted on having her photo taken with me. 

Mommy later told people I had my photo taken "with three Bees and one Double D!"

So what's in store for this year? You'll just have to wait and see! Only Asta's seen me in my costume and she's sworn to secrecy (aren't you, Asta?!!?!).

I'll give you one hint....if I was an actor, I'd get paid scale.

What are YOU going to be for Halloween???
