    Hemi says, Have a Hippie Halloween!!!

    So tonight Hemi and I are going to a Howl-A-Ween party with lots of dogs all dressed up and humans too. So I got Hemi's costume all finished.

    It was actually a lot of fun working on this. The toughest thing was the wig. Human Wigs are not meant to fit lab heads. I found a video on youtube some lady showing how to get hats and wigs to stay on dogs. Basically a 4 point elastic string set up. However this was really difficult getting the elastic stuck on the wig. Basically cause the underside of the wig is a mesh. I tried Glue, Fabric glue, Hem Tape, tried sewing it on but nothing really on the other side to stick too. Finally good old fashioned duct tape on the underside. Hemi was a blast while I was making this. His nose was in everything, he got some duct tape on his nose, he laid on the floor right beside me watching everything I was doing the whole time. Waiting for the next time I tried the wig on so he got lots of treats. We finally got it worked out, however, the darn hippie needs a haircut. He keeps stepping on his hair when walking along and if he stops to sniff the ground.

    Anyway this is Hemi's Holloween costume for 2015.

    I give you Hippie Hemi!!!

    Admit it dad, I rock the long hair.


    Peace, Love, and Treats man.


    Whats with all the sit man. I can do that.


    What do you mean we are low on treats. That's such a buzzkill.


    Going to take my golden locks and chill out then.

    I am just boring Dad. Getting all his stuff ready I completely forgot to get anything for myself.
