ELVIRA AND THE HAUNTED HOUSE

Happy Halloween, fellow cadavers, ghouls and canine creepies.  As you may suspect (or come to expect as I do), my humans do some pretty strange but always fun things around here.  They really get excited about this holiday called Halloween.  I heard stories about big, masquerade parties in the past and lots of scary goings on around this old house (my Aunt says it's haunted because she hears funny noises in the night...nobody else does, but hey, she's the human, not me and sometimes, pictures have ghost-like images in the background...ewwww!).  Legend has it the doctor who built this house performed surgeries in the basement and hid the money there.  Dad says thats probably b.s. (Boxer snot) because he said he's been all through the floor and walls just to validate it, of course.  Anyway, this year was no different--no party, but lots of decorating and dead body parts laying around...unfortunately, no raw meat, just plastic. 

Well, as you recall, Mom just LOVES to dress me up for any old ocassion and this was no exception.  Loaded with treats and lots of bribes (ya'll know what I'm talking about...more walks, new collar, a new puppy, blah blah), she thought Queen Lily should be a Fairy...now I had no say in this shopping extravaganza but being her best dog in the pack, I, of course obliged.  As you can see, I am just a darling Fairy, whatever a Fairy is (and don't say I look ridiculous--word will get out on the ISSR Shiloh forum and we will find you!) 

Well, you will not believe who showed up at our house during the photo opportunity.  We had just started taking as many pictures as Dad could snap and I was doing my best to not get tangled up in the spiderwebs, pumpkins and snakes when this really beautiful lady appeared.  Mom and Dad were whooping around telling me it was ELVIRA, Queen of the Dead.  Well, I'm here to tell you, I'm the QUEEN OF EVERYTHING.  Nuff said.  Besides, she just stood there like a piece of cardboard staring at I don't know what. 

I guess that was a pretty funny trick because the humans were sure having a big time. As you see, I was regal, as usual, and fairyish waiting for another treat.  A dog just never knows what to expect on a day like today.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, YA'LL
