Mail from J & B

 Hey, what's up, dogs?  Just wanted to show off a little something that came in the mail some time ago.  It's from Jerry and Ben...they sent a prize for my entry in their 2020 Halloween costume contest!

A Starbucks card!  Sweet!  I will have to bug my human to take me there and get a dog-friendly treat.  Thanks Jerry and Ben!  You guys are the best.  

Happy Halloween!

 Hey, what's up, dogs?  Happy Halloween!  This year I am dressed as American Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin....also known as "Benji" to his friends.  

He is famous for his kite-flying experiment to investigate the nature of electricity, so I've depicted that scene from his life above.  

However, he was a true Renaissance man...an inventor, scientist, diplomat, publisher, author, and the first Postmaster General of the United States!  Wow...makes me tired just thinking about it!

Hope everybody has a very happy and safe Halloween!

  

Angus' costume contest prize

Hey, what's up, dogs?  My human handed me a piece of mail a few days ago... 

 So, being a logical dog, I opened it.

Oh hey, this is Jerry and Ben's prize package for Grandpa Angus' Halloween costume entry!  Hey Grandpa!  

"What is it, laddie?" Grandpa asked. 

You've got mail!  

Look, here's a postcard of Minnesota...organized by regional "hot dishes."  Wow.  I never knew Minnesota was casserole country.

There's also a Starbucks gift card. 

"Eh, how thoughtful!" Grandpa said.  "Now I can get a caffeinated treat.  Care to share, laddie?"

Er...thanks, Grandpa, but I'd better pass.  Caffeine doesn't really agree with me.

Thanks again, Jerry and Ben, for hosting the contest!  See you next time...

Toga! Toga! Toga!...

Hey, what's up, dogs?  Yesterday was Halloween, and my human forgot to post a picture of my costume.  Bad human--bad!  No bacon for you.

...Ahem.  Anyway, let's get to the big reveal: 

(*trumpet fanfare*)

It is I, Emperor DOGUSTUS CAESAR of the Canine Empire.

As Shakespeare wrote: 

Friends, Romans, countrydogs...lend me your ears.

The evil that men do lives after them;

the good is oft interred with their bones.  

----Wait...what?  BONES?  Where??  Somebody buried some bones and didn't tell me about it?? How dare they!... 

You may have heard of my human counterpart, Augustus, who was the first emperor of the Roman empire many many moons ago.  He had quite an eventful life.  I hope my reign will be less stressful.

And here's some more detail of my costume:

 

Thanks to Jerry and Ben for hosting their annual Halloween Stuffie Costume and Pumpkin Carving Contest!  It's always great to see the creative outfits every year.  Happy belated Halloween, everyone...

Happy Halloween!

Hey, what's up, dogs?  Just a quick post to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  

Here's a picture of my costume.  This year I decided to dress up as...THE "BARK" KNIGHT.

 

Apparently it was well received.  A few days ago, Jerry and Ben notified me that I'd won a prize in their Annual Halloween Costume Contest!  Thanks very much guys!   

Hope everybody has a very fun and very safe Halloween this year...
