Barnyard to Ballroom

Poor Border Collie!!!! It is NEVER a Good Thing for when I have too much time in Walgreen's at Halloween. Can you say "Cheap?" Can you say "Completely Unnecessary?"

While waiting for pictures (of the Porch Ponies) to be developed, I happened to stumble into the HALLOWEEN aisle. (ooooooooooooooohhhhh.... poor Border Collie..........)

I found a white satin evening gown - poor, poor Border Collie.
The gown didn't have the wings and halo it was supposed to have, so I wrangled it out of them for 2/3 the price. (hehehehehehehehehe) - poor, pitiful Border Collie......

I could barely contain myself as I showed my prize to Other Half and Border Collie. She was not nearly as amused as he was.... But Border Collie is a good-natured beast and getting her into the gown wasn't much of a problem. Cute... very cute... Poor, Poor Border Collie..

I put her on my bed, slapped on a pair of my Sweet Potato Queen sunglasses and started to take pictures!

Snap! Snap! (put glasses back on dog) Snap! Snap! (put glasses back on dog) Snap! Snap!

Border Collie finally just gave up and laid down on the bed. (I swear she put her paw to her forehead in a swoon and said, "Goodbye Cruel World, I just can't take it any more!!")

Eventually Other Half called a halt to the torture - it was more than he and Border Collie could bear. Clearly it's a lot farther from Barnyard to Ballroom than simply buying a white satin dress!
