Despite What She Thinks, Mom Is Not Funny.

"WHAT?!  A LOBSTER?!"

"No Fluffy, a LOP-ster!  You're a Big Tough LOP-ster, get it?"

"Oh, I get it alright.  I'm a stupid lobster!  That's not the kind of Halloween costume I wanted!  I wanted something brave, strong and powerful!  Something cool, something hip, something creative!  Not a crustacean!!!!"

But Fluffy, lobsters are tough - they have those claws you can pinch with.  And red is really your colour...."

*siiiggghhhh*  So I was a LOP-ster for Halloween.  How humiliating.  Look at me.  I couldn't even bear to look at the camera - I have completely given up.  I'll bet Mom has never seen a lobster run around at top speed and thump, but that's what she got.  Then she had to parade me around to the kids who came trick or treating.  "Oh look at that funny bunny!  He's a lobster!"

Oh, of course Binky was pretty and precious in her angel wings.  No one laughed at her.  Everyone fawned over her beauty and delicateness.  Gentle pets, ooo's and aaaaaah's for Binks.  Plenty of finger-pointing and laughs for me.  How am I supposed to regain even an ounce of dignity after this degradation?
There is no telling how this may have scarred me for life.  I'm probably going to need therapy.  I'll be featured on that show "What Ever Happened to...?" and they will be like "Hey, remember that Big Tough Lop with the cool blog?  Whatever happened to him?"

"Oh, his Mom dressed him up as a lobster for Halloween one year....he never recovered...."

"Wow....sad."

Scooter was a bumble bee, a very disapproving and depressed bumble bee.  He's one of those bunnies who, when you dress him up, just sits there pathetically, waiting for you to take the picture and hopefully promptly remove it. 

And you know, Halloween only means that Christmas is that much closer.  And what does that mean?  It means stupid red hats with furry trim, velvet collars with bells and scarves with holly!  Bah humbug - somebunny save me!

Oh I think its delightful! I wanted Police costumes for the dogs and I didn't know what to get Hef, a prisoner I suppose but I didn't. I'm glad you dressed up your buns! Thanks for sharing.

Hahahah Lop-ster!!! Fluffy looks beyond furious. Binky looks lovely as always and Scooter looks super cute. I thought about buying xmas costumes for xmas cards but thought my rabbits would tear them to shreds!

Fluffy if you want an intervention you know who to call. But dang you all look cute....

On some level, dressing up an animal for human pleasure is just wrong, but when they allow you to dress them up, they are so cute that you want to go out and get them a whole wardrobe of outfits. Maybe we can figure that if they allow it, they like the attention?
