Happy Halloween from the Super Pugs
Well, another Halloween is coming to fruition. Each year we turmoil and ask ourselves (and often ask others, too), "What will the pugs be for Halloween?"
This year was especially challenging. We have a steadfast rule of "no repeats" and this year we do feel like we are kind of teetering on that line. By far the best costumes ever was the year that the boys (pre Luna) dressed as Batman & Robin. So that is why this year, the SuperHeroes theme is blurring the line of what constitutes a repeat.
In any event, we went with Superman (Henry), SpiderMan (Benjamin) and Wonder Woman (Luna). The thought process behind these SuperHeroes more lay in the behind the scenes thoughts. We first thought of Benjamin being SpiderMan since he has an arachnoid cyst in his spine. Arachnoids are spiders, thus, naturally, Benjamin makes an ideal SpiderMan. Henry, the only one (knock wood) that has dodged many a health ailment would then of course be SuperMan. Thus leaving Luna, the trooper dog of the century, fits the Wonder Woman costume (mind, body, spirit) to a tee (and boy does she ever rock her costume).
The group will try to go to the 4 or 5 neighbor's homes tonight in hopes of gathering some goodies. The walk this year seems miles long but we will be sure they don't miss a door. Henry will hoof it for sure. Benjamin will make a few driveways and then we will carry him. Luna will likely get carried right from the start. Seeing as how they have not come to love the Solsey pouch or the Solsey stroller yet my forearms and biceps will get a good workout.
We have to come to the reality that this will probably be the last year that they go trick or treating and thus likely the last year the canines will be costumed but they won't mind. They will just show up in the kitchen next year, dressed as a pug, begging for treats at the door of the fridge and then the door of the pantry. That will be enough to suit them.
Happy Halloween to the young, young at heart and the too old to care. OBP is almost there, too. 
Check out Benjamin, Henry and Luna's previous Halloween costumes.
