A Few Reasons I Love My Job

I took these photos at my store's Halloween party. The competition for the costume contest was staggering.
The beagle below is posing as a vampire. I love how serious the dog looks, despite how maniacal the vampire face looks.

This is Carrie's dog Tiger, posing with Amanda, who made his bowtie and hat. Amanda is really not supposed to be cut out of the photo that way.
The squirrel below won first prize for costume, as based on crowd applause.
This handmade spider costume looked better in person, and it frequently gave the impression that it was lifting its leg.
The dog pirate had a cute eyepatch decorated with bone-shaped sequins.
Jacques, the French bulldog, was a Pimp Daddy. For some reason my camera made his outfit look more blue than purple. I tried to correct it with PhotoShop, but am not entirely happy with the result.
These two dogs, playing and cheering for LSU, won second prize. Their costumes were beautifully made, and just the right color of purple (unlike this 'Shopped version.)
Jessica's pit bull, Bonita, came as the Dog Fairy.
A group of boxers came in matching bat shirts.
The ballerina costume seemed to fit her hairstyle perfectly.

This dachshund cowgirl refused to wear her wig, but she kept her hat on all night.
