October…Out Like A…Lion?

October isn’t traditionally the “Out like a lion…in like a lamb” month.  But around here, it doesn’t have to be March to go “Out like a lion”…especially when you are Rosie going out for Halloween!

Look at that innocent face.  She appears so sweet and content in her lion mane Halloween Costume!  Oh but don’t be fooled my friends.  This Halloween photo shoot did not run smoothly…

This is how the “photo session” began…

Immediately, Rosie attempted to pull the mane off.

 Then started with the head shake…

 And then she took off running.

 Once she wiggled out of the mane, she started biting it.

 And tried to pull it apart.

Silly dog

Such a determined little face…

So what’s a dog mom to do, but try one more time…

Crazy golden

I couldn’t even get a shot of her face in this photo.

And once again, she took off!

I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes!

Finally, I gave up and waited until I found her sleeping in the bushes.  I slipped the mane over her head and finally got a sweet photo…

  1. Priceless! My Cairn was none to thrilled when I made her put my youngest's old Raggedy Ann wig and hat on. LOL

  2. Oh, my word that is just too funny. She really did look like a lion. Bailey hates to be dressed. When she was little she would always take off anything I put on her. I finally gave up.
