May all your spiders be crawly, your cauldrons be bubbly, your witches hats pointy and your candy magically calorie-free.

p.s. Merry’s going out as Xena tonight – we’ll have pics of this tomorrow!

p.p.s the history of the pillow Halloween shots (it just wouldn’t be Halloween without it): 2007, 2006, 2004.

And just when you thought it was safe to go back in the… well, er, leaves. And sunlight. Okay, I messed up on the atmosphere, but it’s really cold up here and I didn’t want to give the sweetie hypothermia by putting her in the water. Plus, she looked really cute sniffing the leaves.

I know that dress isn’t technically a witch’s outfit but it looked so CUTE with the hat, I couldn’t resist. Luckily, the princess did not realize that the pumpkins in front of her were food, or they’d have been licked to within an inch of their life. :)

So I miscalculated. :) I thought I had spooky Halloweeny shots to share with you for the rest of the week, but apparently I have only three more. So…. today, you get to admire the cute little curly tail. Love the fallen leaves in the background, don’t you? So lovely. Almost as lovely as the princess pug.

Between the cold weather (ugh) and the complete lack of sun (ick) it’s getting very dark and gloomy around here… perfect for Halloween! Yes, I have fabulous Halloweeny shots to share with you from now ’till Friday… enjoy!

You all know that I love the furball to bits but honestly, when your dog starts to go blind, it can be a little sad. Watching her walk into things, hesitate more rather than running like a crazypug, search around for a treat that’s right in front of her nose… it’s kind of sad.

Humour’s one of the ways that my fiance and I choose to deal with it. Since we are so often higher than the pug, she’s taken to staring at the ceiling… I’m assuming she thinks that’s where I am. Especially if I call her name: boom! Her face turns to the heavens.

We joke that the pug has come to see us as “gods” since her eyesight’s started to go… like Zeus from the moutaintop, so the pug looks for us in the heavens. :)

Have a great weekend, everyone… and Jessica, your print is on its way!

EDIT: Seems I confused a few folks by the title. :) It’s a reference to one of the first “teenage” books I ever read as a girl… see the book cover here, to understand better.

She can smell it. She knows it’s there. The eyes are BUGGING OUT for it even though she can’t see it. Yes, little one, you can have a cookie.

Spoiled. Rotten. Seriously.

We do, too. Gosh, it’s gross when there’s no sun. I definitely need to consider a move south – San Francisco, maybe? It’s lovely and temperate all year round. Plus, they MUST get more sun.

Merry’s in lovely warm colors on a lovely warm bed because darn it, I just had to turn on the heater for the first time this year and I’m missing the sunshine. :)

The lovely miss Merry hopes that all of you had a fabulous weekend. The year’s flying by so fast… wow!

I haven’t tried this in three years, but we put the princess in a swing on Thanksgiving day and oh my goodness, she still looks adoro. The photography skills, I think, have improved as well. :)

See Merry on a swing three years ago.
