The author in his human-imposed costume

So I have decided that while I adore my human family, they have a very strange, and sometimes unpleasant,  sense of humor.  Case in point – – see the images accompanying this post.  My mom thought it would be “hilarious” to put a costume on me, in celebration of the human holiday Halloween.  Thanks, mom.

In addition to it being uncomfortable, it was difficult to walk in, and made me look ridiculous.  And let’s face it, no one is confusing me with Batman.  I’m a dog.  I’m neither a bat nor a man.  Enough said.
