Halloween Giveaway

Buddy:  Hey, friends, before we begin today's post and get to the giveaway, I ... we - Merci, Sam and I - would like to say we're innocent of everything except having fun picking on Jan. 

Sam:  It all started when Jan ordered us each a Halloween costume.  She knows we do NOT EVER let her dress us if we have to dress by lifting our legs.  She was careful to order costumes with velvro, never dreaming there would be leg holes instead of velcro leg straps.  She thought the costumes would be like my thundershirt - all velcro tabs. Surprise!

Merci:  Well, we're about to show you the photo bomb session of the century.  Buddy, Sam and I weren't the only uncooperative elements of the photo shoot, the sun refused to shine through the tree branches.  Enough said.  Let's take a look.

Sweet Pea Sam

Sam:  Hey, look at me. I'm Sweet Pea, all in green.  From this angle I look more like a court jester, but let's take a look at the rest of the costume. 

Sweet Pea Sam

Sam:  This is not how the costume should look.  It should fit.  Notice the leg hole to the right?  My ears go through the slits okay, but I refuse to let Jan put my feet through the leg holes. 

Sweet Pea Sam

Sam:  It doesn't look so bad from this angle because the leg holes don't show.. It's a  nice one piece costume. Thick, soft material and accented with 3 large poly-filled peas. It even has a leash hole.  We're not sure if this is machine washable.

Sweet Pea Sam

Sam:  Don't look at me like that, Jan.  I need a break from modeling... This is an XL Sweet Pea costume.and you can get a much better idea of how is is supposed to look when the model actually puts his legs through the leg holes by clicking here.

Pirate Captain Buddy

Buddy:  And I'm the swashbuckling Captain Buddy.  Don't I look fierce?

Pirate Captain Buddy

Buddy: Hey, Sam, I didn't laugh when you tried on the Sweet Pea costume.  This has a buckle (which brilliant Jan buckled underneath my belly instead of across the back, a sash and a cutlas so I can threaten the kitties with walking the plank.  (Just kidding.  I love the Funny Farmer Felines.) It is machine washable.

Pirate Captain Buddy

Buddy:  What do you mean, I have to stand up so readers can see the costume?  I'm a senior pirate.  I sit down between sea voyages.

Pirate Captain Buddy

Buddy:  Yes, I know the arm holes stick out, but I will NOT let Jan put my legs through.  Use some imagination.  You can see how this costume should fit by clicking here.

Clown Merci

Merci:  This costume that doesn't have leg holes, just velcro.  I'm even more senior than Buddy, so I get the privilege of sitting as I model too. This is an easy on, easy off two-piece costume. It is machine washable.

Sam: Hey, I look handsome in this hat.  Do you think any girl woofies will think I'm a catch?

Sam: Or do you think my head is too big and I look more like a cowboy in this hat?  Hats are fun.

Merci:  We did enjoy trying on the costumes, even if the guys are against wearing anything over their legs. Jan said she wishes she had dressed us up when we were young so we we'd be accustomed to it now.

Buddy: The nice folks at Entirely Pets said we could do a giveaway of our favorite costume,  but there are so many neat ones, we'd like to let the winner choose his or her own favorite costume.  The costumes are made for dogs, but it's possible the smaller sizes, especially the hats, could fit a cat, so cats are not excluded from winning.  We do advise cats check the size measurements before entering, though, to be sure it comes in your size.  The available costumes can be found here.

Sam:  Who can enter? Any furry from the US, UK and Canada. Just leave a comment on this post TELLING us you'd like to enter!  Be sure to leave some way we can contact you. We'll leave the giveaway open until midnight Saturday, September 28 and announce the winner chosen by Random.com on Monday, Sept. 30.
