Dogs in Costume

Last night was "Beggars' Night" in Columbus. What fun that was! I got to beg for attention from all of kids passing by our house. Most of them would stop and pet me, but sometimes they were afraid. Mom said I behaved pretty well and she gave me some special treats after we went back in the house; that was okay by me!

Mom said next year she wants to dress up like Cleopatra. Maybe she can pick up some parts for the costume when she and Dad go to Egypt in January. They went to Egypt once before and liked it so well that they are taking a small group with them this time. Mom said it was fabulous and very interesting. The highlight of Mom's trip was going up in a hot air balloon over the West Bank of the Nile while in Luxor. She is so afraid of heights, I can't believe she ever did that. I wonder if she will do it again on this trip?

I hope Mom doesn't try to get a costume for me in Egypt! I only saw one dog in costume last night. I think she was supposed to be a fairy god dog. She was all dressed in pink with little wings on her back. I, of course, am way too dignified to wear a costume. However, I'll never be too dignified to beg for attention, even from total strangers!
