Jack Kukoda

Remember almost a year ago when I found out my borderline-crazy parents were dressing their dogs up in Halloween costumes? Yes, you do. Everyone who reads this blog can recite all the posts I’ve done by heart. Well, they’re back at it again!

My sister went home this weekend and sent me some shocking footage. When I commit my parents to the old folks home against their will, these photos will be exhibit A through C.

First up, here’s Murphy. He’s a black cocker spaniel. No, wait! He’s Superdog!

Right now this dog is thinking, “I wish I had the ability to fly so I could free myself from these crazy people.”

I don’t even want to know how long it took them to get this dog’s legs through those sleeves. And the cape! But Murphy isn’t the only to get in on the Halloween Costume Madness/My Parents’ Dimentia. Check out Rosie, or as my parents call her “Pretty, Pretty Princess.”

“I am the ruler of all I survey. And right now I survey two people who are sadly projecting personalities onto some poor dogs.”

But things aren’t all Superheroes and Princesses at the Kukoda household. There’s an evil being lurking, who means to do harm to Superdog and Pretty, Pretty Princess. Who could that be?

Why, it’s this witch!!!

“Where are you, my pretties?”(said in a witch voice)

Okay, that’s enough madness for now. To cleanse your palate, here’s an adorable photo of my nephew dressed as a Jack-O-Lantern.

Look at the smiley faces on his fee! What?! Ohmygodijustwanttoeathimup! In about 18 years when this kid goes off to college, there’s a pretty good chance this costume will be used on my sister and brother-in-law’s basset hound. The circle of life.
