Hot diggity dog

Every year about this time, Piper and I go to PetsMart and choose one small animal costume to turn into a model horse costume. This year's pickings were pretty slim.

That's okay. I still haven't finished the 2024 costume.

Last year, I bought the hot dog.

I'd hoped to use it on little Olive in the Halloween class at Candyland Live.

Sadly, the costume was a poor match for the model's big mane.

I ended up going with a miniature version of real Olive's costume.

That was so much more work, but also a much better choice.

I never did finish the hot dog, so that will be this year's project. I think it will look delicious on Winslow.

But here's the thing: I actually have two hot dogs. Before I realized it would not work on Olive, I misplaced the first one. I looked and looked but could not find it, so I went back to the store and bought a second one. Of course, after that, the first magically reappeared.

I absolutely, positively do not need two hot dogs, so the second one is this month's second free blog giveaway. If you would like a hot dog costume for your guinea pig or model horses, comment on this post. I will choose a winner later in the week.

P.S. The winner of this month's first blog giveaway is Sandra Gibson. Congratulations, I will get your bear in the mail before the end of the month!
