The Halloween Fiasco

In all of the after Halloween rush of the Pugfest in Atlanta, announcing the Costume Contest winners and selling the 2007 Owned By Pugs Calendars, I almost forgot to blog about the Halloween fiasco that occured.  In the photo you can see what we refer to as “the girl.”  It is a little statue in the background behind Benjamin in the photo.  Well, after we made our rounds through the neighborhood with the pugs in their 3 little pigs costumes, we came home to answer the door for trick or treaters.  At first we didn’t have too many and we didn’t really need to man the door.  Unfortunately, “someone” got careless and left the bowl of goodies on “the girl’s” tray.  Of course, Benjamin the curious little pug, got to sniffin’ and smellin’ and tried to get to the goodies.  He ended up pulling the girl over and her arm broke off and pieces of ceramic and Skittles went everywhere.  Fortunately, no one was hurt but “the girl” is beyond repair.

Amusing side note to this story.  “The girl” was a Christmas gift this past year.  Henry was sleeping when she was opened and assembled.  When Henry woke up, he was shocked to find the lady in his home and barked at her confused by her short stature and bewildered as to how she snuck into the house.  It was quite a riot.
