I'm a bad, bad pet owner

Last week we came home to a panic-stricken note from our dogwalker. She retold a horrifying tale of Lucy escaping from her collar, not once, but twice. She then went on to say that we needed to get a new collar or she couldnt walk the dogs anymore because it was too stressful and Lucy is a fast little bugger and very easily could have run into traffic.  I then had to respond something along these lines:

So sorry about your trying day. The collar is actually fine. As it turns out, we loosened it to fit through her Halloween costume (uh, yeah, we're *those* people) and apparently forgot to tighten in back up. Again, so sorry.

Fortunately, she replied that she's one of those people too. Not that I needed more reinforcement that I wasn't alone... last year's pet parade confirmed that.  So, as if letting our puppy nearly get run over by a car wasn't bad enough, I'm going to add insult to injury by posting some pictures.

 Yep, that's right, we dressed our dog up like a little itty bitty moo cow. She loved it. Really. I swear (ok, maybe not so much) .

Keela went to the party dressed as a scary devil. She looks even freakier because I didn't edit out the crazy pet-eye that happens when you take a picture with a flash.

And more evidence that I'm not alone, I present M&K's boys...

 

Yeah, so apparently we're at that stage in life where we're all settled down and domesticated, but don't yet have children so we feel the need to inflict humiliation upon our dogs. On the upside though, M is pregnant and due in February, so next year we get to dress up and humiliate a real live person.
