FINALLY: HAPPY HOWL-O-WIENER!

Well, today's the day. Children all over America are looking forward to Halloween parties and dressing up in costumes. Many areas host Halloween parties for their communities, complete with the time-honored activities such as bobbing for apples, bean bag toss, lots of food, other games, and of course, costume contests.

When I was a child (many moons ago, I'll admit), we could go just about anywhere without worrying about harm. Some neighborhoods are still safe, but it's always a good idea these days for an adult to accompany the children on their forays for treats. Also inspect those treats before the kids partake of them.

Without further ado, here are the final Howl-o-wiener doxies for this year:

Happy Howl-o-wiener, doxie lovers! Can you believe tomorrow is November? Time to start thinking about Thanksgiving :).

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: LION!

We all know that lions are brave, but so are doxies. In fact, the AKC rates the dachshund as the most aggressive breed! We knew that, didn't we? Any dog who will go underground and confront those tough and vicious badgers has to be pretty bold. 

Dachshunds, however, don't always exercise good judgment, because they'll go after animals three times their size when in full protection mode. That's why we have to watch over them when out and about--they are also fiercely loyal to those they love, and can get badly hurt when trying to protect their humans. We do applaud their love and loyalty, though!

Here are our Howl-o-wiener doxies for today: lions. How fitting for this wonderfully brave little dog!

"I can't do a thing with my hair today!"

"Er . . . what is that big animal over there??"

"Mo-ommm! I look ridiculous!"

"I think I look like someone's elderly aunt rather than a lion!"

Dachshunds . . . lions in small bodies!

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: YEE HAW! THE COWBOYS ARE HERE!

I'm having a blast with these doxie costumes, and today is no different. As you can see, there are all kinds of cowboys!

                            

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: KING TUT!

I'll always think of the actor Yul Brenner as the Pharaoh Ramses when I think of Egyptian pharaohs. I first saw the movie The Ten Commandments as a child when we lived in Bremerhaven, Germany. Released on October 5, 1956, I was a mere nine years old. I was really impressed by the parting of the Red Sea, the graphics for the ten plagues of Egypt when Ramses would not let the Israelite slaves go, quite a feat for its day. Since this film was made 61 years ago, methinks I am officially old--or I will be on my birthday in a few weeks. *Sigh*

Yul Brenner as Ramses

Of course, the film isn't completely accurate according to the biblical account of Moses, the plagues, and the pharaoh, but it was quite spectacular for the 1950s and is still shown on TV every year.

Today's doxie looks quite regal in his own right--but there's not much resemblance to this King Tut golden mask:

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em, 'cause they're all royalty (at least, they think so)!
