Cock-a-doodle do!


If you marveled at Murphy's ability to put up with crazy costumes in the first two "Happy Halloween" posts, then you'll be even more impressed with this one.

Back-story:
Two Halloween's ago, we saw this rooster costume at Target for $10.  I wanted it SOO bad.  When we first got Murphy, we were told he was a cockapoo. We now have reason to believe that he is NOT a cockapoo, but that didn't stop us from nicknaming him "The Cock."  (It's one of those ridiculous inside jokes between Dave and I that we really don't ever expect other people to overhear.  Oh well... )  So, of course, when I saw this "cock" costume, I just had to have it!  But even I agreed that $10 was a bit much for a dog costume that he would probably hate anyway.

Fast-forward a few months and Halloween was long past.  However, that's the reason that Target had all of the Halloween merchandise on clearance for 90% off!!! What an amazing deal!  The rooster costume for only a dollar!  It was an easy sell for Dave as well, who actually convinced me to buy as many costumes as I wanted for Murphy for $1 each as long as I promised not to buy him any more costumes.  Needless to say, we had a deal.


Look! A rooster! And he LAID EGGS!



Now WHERE did I leave those eggs?

Unfortunately, because this costume was waaaay too large for him (it was a size small, and they don't make anything smaller - how do you dress your weiner dog or toy poodle with a Target costume!?!?) it was hard to get great pictures without the entire costume falling off.  But believe me when I say that it was super cute... and he loooved getting to lick the eggs.


There are a few more costumes that I need to debut, and even though it's Halloween today, I still plan to post them over the next day or two!
