- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

I can't believe I let my wife do this to him every year.
2. Coco said:
Oh no you DIDN"T...
3. Laura said:
Halloween doesn't get any cuter than this. Your dog is a veritable saint...save for the begging issue. I can't wait to see Leta's holiday garb.
4. FrenchBenj said:
I'm sorry, but Chucky is one HOT pooch! And now he'll be marked psychologically for life. Oh well.
5. Gia said:
I am impressed that he is even keeping that bird on long enough for a photo. Mine would have ripped it off and torn it to shreds faster than I could blink!
So... he's a bird dog then?
(bad bad bad)
6. Taylor said:
My dog is truly jealous. Cute!!
7. Anna said:
Oh NO! Poor Chuck!
Jon, why didn't you stop her?!
8. Shylah said:
That poor dog.. bless his heart!
I have to admit, though, it is funnier'n hell!
9. rb said:
this has given me such a laugh!!
that look he is giving is so familiar...
i love it.
10. BytchInNY said:
ahahahahahahaha... that is absolutely hysterical! and i just love the "i'm getting tired or doing this every year" look on his face... priceless.
11. rb said:
and i wish i could be more articulate... but at 5am here in australia, after getting home drunk after a 16 hour day it just isnt possible...
but i love that look that dogs can give, where they are saying "thank god i love you as much as i do or you would be so dead."
nigh nigh.
12. ling said:
ahahahahahaa thats hilarious
13. jenB said:
he looks like he is devising a way to pee in your shoes later.
14. Mir said:
Well, now we know what Leta was flapping about, yesterday. I think I flapped and squawked a little, myself, when I saw that photo!!
15. chloechasesmom said:
HAhhaaha That is the cutest dog I have ever seen and my dog is cute. What a saint!
16. Lorie said:
Oh my gosh, the look!
Dog: free
Costume: 30.00 (just a guess)
Dog looking adorably cute and hating every minute of it.....PRICELESS!
17. Kahli said:
Do you take him out like that? Does he score gummies instead of hard candy good n plenty mini packs??
USe it.... use your tools Chuck!
Soooooo cute! IS that really for Chuck or is it for Leta?
18. marie said:
that look just *screams* "i'm totally going to 'lay an egg' in each of your shoes when you're not looking."
19. Liisa said:
I've never seen a picture of a dog on the verge of an exasperated sigh...but I'm pretty sure he is. Poor Chuck. Almost makes me feel guilty for dressing my German Shepherd/Bloodhound mix up like a dance hall girl.
I said almost.
20. katrina said:
SO FUCKING FABULOUS!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH :D
21. Sarah said:
He must love you guys an awful lot to put up with that!!!
He's so cute.
22. George Lover said:
See, I used to tie little felt antlers on my cat's head every year and it's my contention that animals secretly love it.
23. disneymike said:
How cute. LOL
My wife wants to dress up our new dog, Taffy as Count Dracula for Halloween. I'm hoping she's forgotten about it. She's been looking for a black cape small enough for her. She's a Chihuahua, Dachschund and who knows what mix; my dog, not my wife. I've got weekly pictures of Taffy on my blog documenting her growth.
24. disneymike said:
Oh, I forgot to mention, Toni refers to Taffy as Taffula in reference to the aforementioned Dracula costume. :O)
25. Kathleen said:
I guessed right! Nice costume - what a patient fellow.
26. Lauren said:
I can't wait to see what Mouse has to say about this. Chuck looks like he'd be such a dry wit if he could talk.
27. Shelagh McIntyre said:
awwww! Chuckie!
28. Andrea said:
Thank you for changing "I take photos everyday" to "I take photos every day". That used to bug me but I was too polite to say anything.
29. Daniel said:
He looks thrilled. I hope he got a Milk Bone for putting up with that.
30. annette said:
Poor, poor chuck. That's definitely the cutest thing I've seen in...well, since I saw the picture of Leta yesterday.
31. contessa said:
Is he a chicken?
32. kEma said:
Dear Former Congressman,
I know you want to punish them all now for making you look like a >chick< but please dont worry, you are really an awsome one!
33. Pinky said:
I just laughed to the point of snorting and snorted until I farted a little. I'm a little embarassed now but hey, that is one funny photo.
34. Christilee said:
Warm and fuzzy. I love it.
35. Beverly said:
Oh, that face! He is such a good, good dog.
36. LauraD said:
Oh, he's so trusting.
37. DM said:
Oh, good Lord. This is great. I love this dog and the costumes.
An old roommate of mine used to dress her cats and my kitten up in her old baby clothes. One of them would sit there and yowl because she hated it. My kitten would just walk out of the clothes.
The best one was her 20 pound male cat. He would strut around the apartment in his yellow sweater and totally pull it off.
38. Beth said:
OH lordy! The costumes get better EVERY YEAR! He looks so pissed off, but like he's thinking, "I'll humor her - she might give me TREATS!"
I wanna know what Leta's dressing up as!
Good dog, Chuck!
39. Kimba No Limba said:
oh that's awesome... i bought a costume for my dog and my stupid
co-worker made fun of me for making a dog into a manimal but who can help themselves when it is so much f'in fun!
40. coelecanth said:
DJ blurb: Dude, "let her do it"? Man you're just lucky you've got a dog. she might be dressing you up. My s.o. is at this moment closeted with scissors, cardboard and glitter paint, I live in fear...
Sorry about the all caps there's something wrong with the
41. angie said:
Oh look, it's a "Chucken".
harhar
Oh my god - gorgeous family, gorgeous baby, gorgeous Former Congressman.
Seriously - your house must stink of cute. I want to put you you all in my pocket!
42. Rebecca said:
How is Mows going to feel about this? www.savemouse.com
43. Sue From Ohio said:
POOR F.C.C.! That is, actually, truly hilarious....I swear, if you could read a dog's mind, he would be saying, 'I hope none of my friend's see me like this....'
44. lori said:
Poor Chuck! At least he's a good sport. My dogs would never sit still for that.
45. Jen said:
I love how dogs always have that universal pissed off look when you put them in costume.
46. Mary said:
This just totally made my day. I have a koala costume that the little girl I nanny has outgrown. If I send it to you, will you put it on Chuck and take a photo?
47. Nell said:
Jon: I doubt you just "let her do it". I bet you love it too, you are just ashamed to admit it. Besides, if you didn't let her, she could hit you in the groin.
I love Chuck! He looks so embarrased.
48. Valerie said:
Chuck has the same expression as Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" with the bunny outfit.
hahahaha, oh i love it!
49. Karen said:
Lord, now that's just WRONG.
50. Anne said:
Is it the same costume every year? I must say, that's one killer canine costume. Usually they're so dinky and cheap-looking.
51. Heatheranne said:
Chuck looks pissed. He is SO going to be leaving "treats" for you.
52. Em said:
You are an evil woman. He looks so embarrassed. Still, I laughed!
53. Peter Hentges said:
You know, some dogs have dignity and some dogs have dignity ripped from them and left in a bloody pool on the floor.
(So cute. So undignified.)
54. Abby said:
Chicken or vulture???
55. Susie said:
The nose. The nose is so scrumptious. You must kiss it a lot.
When Leta is old enough for you to embarrass her, Chuck will show her this picture and she will know that he understands.
56. Jamie said:
If Chuck is the Chicken, is Leta going to be the Egg?
To cute!
57. Amanda B. said:
Ahhh....there's the look I was waiting for....
58. Terri said:
The look on his face is priceless. Great photo, as they usually all are. Regardless of what Chuck thinks, this photo alone is worth his misery. Does Chuck have a website at Dogster.com? If not, he should. He could show those other dogs a thing or two. We own four dogs and I'd have to smother my husband in his sleep before he'd allow me to do something like this....hmmmmmm.....Well, now Chuck knows for sure if he's the trick or the treat!
59. Toni said:
He looks like an avian court jester.
60. shy me said:
can't... breathe...!!! laughing.... too... hard
61. Chloe said:
Oh, Chuck, you are such a terrific dog. I heart you.
As a kid, I used to dress up our surly but adorable tortoiseshell cat in (oh, the poor dear) cabbage-patch kid dresses. Sometimes even with the little elastic waisted shorts. She was unexplicably fond of me, even as an evil eight-year old, and she would let me roll her around the house in my baby carriage, on her back. And if I'd forget to take the clothes off of her, she'd walk around the house wearing her little white dress with the pink roses until I noticed that she was still wearing it. Gah, I shouldn't have written about that, I miss her. She died of cancer last December.
Jeebus! I'm such a downer! Carry on, Sir Chuckles! I thought he was dressed up as some sort of bizarre pumpkin from the sneak peek shot. He makes a terrific bird.
62. Liz said:
Oh...Chuck. I think a symbiotic turkey-growth could be cause for some concern.
63. Liv said:
He just looks so resigned to it, it's great... he reminds me of my dog who used to get the same look when we dressed him up!
64. Dawn said:
I think this might be what I look like when I say to my teenagers "Do I look like I have the word asshole written across my forehead?" ...one can't help but have a good CHUCKle (sorry, boy!).
HAPPY HALLOWEEN ARMSTRONGS ALL!
65. ella's ma said:
I think we can all be thankful that poor dog lacks opposable thumbs-I can almost hear him plotting what he would do to you.
66. Amber said:
He has that "Why me?!" look on his face. How adorable is that. Reminds me of when I used to put pretty pink bows in my dog's hair..
67. coolbeans said:
I can't get my toddler to wear a costume but you can get your dog to cooperate? You have magical powers.
68. TracyDee said:
way too cute :) What a trooper.
69. Carolyn J. said:
Please put an entire pizza on the floor in payment for such wickedness.
70. Brian said:
I'm calling PETA on you. RIGHT. NOW.
71. Regan said:
oh wow. I thought the little devil hat I bought for MY dog was cruel. but that...that...
wow.
he even LOOKS embarassed!!!! poor puppy!
72. Christine said:
Chuck. He's finger-lickin' good.
73. rokdev said:
That is just SO wrong.
Yet so funny.
74. Super Turtle Girl said:
Chuck!!!! Why are you so CUTE? I think you are the cutest dog I've ever seen.
That look of forebearance really gets me. He's not humiliated! He looks like "Oh, God, I'm just going to INDULGE her. She's enjoying herself too much."
75. Bekah said:
Chuck's face is like, "Oh my Lord, are we doing this AGAIN?" hahahaha! That's great.
76. Amanda B. said:
Had to show my husbando the pic of Chuck.
He said, "Bwahahahaha...*snort*"
Our dog Annabelle, on the other hand...well she just keeps giving us this, "don't you friggin dare" look.
77. DeAnn said:
Heh. Is that Chuck's Halloween costume?
78. Heathertoo said:
Maybe he's a cross dresser in dog terms and loves this look. Im hoping for a pink tu-tu next....
red painted nails.... big bow on one ear tilted to the side...
79. honestyrain said:
he tolerates you. you do know that. i can see it in his eye. silent resignation because in all other ways you are good and decent to him. run Chuck, run!!!
no, i'm kidding. he's cute. really.
80. tess said:
That is just TOO FREAKIN FUNNY!!
81. Moxie said:
" If I don't cooperate she will whack me in the nads too".
82. Irrylyn said:
That is just too cute!! I was looking for a doggy skeleton costume for my lab cross, saw one a couple of years ago, but nothing this year. That costume takes the cake tho, did someone make it or were you actually able to buy something that adorable!
83. Colleen said:
poor, adorable Chuck... photo should be called "Tolerance."
What does he do when everyone laughs at him? Does he get embarassed?
84. Nikki said:
My schnauzer had that exactly same look right after we had him neutered.
85. Angie said:
This must be very confusing for you taxidermist neighbour!
86. The Mighty Jimbo said:
the aspca is totally gonna come calling for that one.
87. Seuss said:
That is absolutely adorable. And as owner of a dog who wishes we could find costumes that cool, I have to echo Irrylyn - where did you buy that or did somebody make it for you? Other people who spoil their pets senseless are dying to know. :)
88. Valerie said:
From someone who is dressing up as their own dog for Halloween (mask = laminated, enlarged picture of dog's face), I applaud your emphasis on including everyone, even Chuck, in the fun.
89. Lindsey said:
"Why me!? First they take my man berries now I have to dress-up? Why God, Whyyyyy!?"
90. aibee said:
it's Leta dressed as Chuck dressed as a turkey, isn't it?
The resemblence is uncanny...
91. juli said:
Beats the year I painted myself green with fingerpaints and went as a martian. Took weeks for the green tinge to fade from my skin. At least Chuck's misery will be over when the costume comes off.
92. jen said:
God damned priceless....
93. E said:
I am sooooo jealous! So far I haven't convinced the hubby to let me do that to my pooch (it's only his 2nd halloween). Now that I have evidence that I'm not a freak for doing it, I am SOOOO dressing him up next year!
94. Mikey's Momma said:
Oh man!!!! That dog is SO going to piss in your shoes!!!
95. lexagirl said:
Chuck is thinking - damn this is lame but the I remember that time I got my balls cut off - so... *ahem.. quack?
kidding - he looks very cute indeed!
96. Fran said:
What a great dog! He is so patient and definitely humors you.
97. noelle said:
man, that is so terribly adorable
98. Jme said:
Squark indeed. My pooches are jealous - but then again, we never did celebrate halloween here. Maybe we should...
99. Nicole said:
Oh no you didn't! That's one fabulous looking former Congressman!
100. Becca said:
awwwwwwwwwwww
101. Aurelia said:
Is this for Helloween - or was it the other way round? Way tooo cuuuute!
102. Danika said:
Too cute!!!
So stories about dressing up cats reminds me of when my friends gf threw him a surprise birthday party. I had the key to let everyone in the apartment. We walked through the door and the first thing we saw was their cat in baby pjamas standing frozen with a look on her face that said. Oh SHIT they caught me in my pjamas!!!! Turns out the pjamas were because she was traumatized by moving from one city to another and would lick the fur right off of her. Poor girl.
Oh and McDonalds used to give muppets out with kids meal (or something) and we had Fozzy bear with a hat and a scarf. Well it was the perfect size for our dog.. he looked adorable in it :D
103. Julia said:
I should ask my sister to give me some baby clothes to dress my cat up.
I think she'd look cute in a pink onesie.
104. mandy said:
Are you dressing Leta up as an egg? Then you could carry around a sign that says "The chicken came first in our house" because, you know, you had the dog first... heh nevermind me I'm tired and a dork :)
105. Danielle said:
Isn't it amazing what a dog will do for pizza and fallen Pop-Tarts?
106. Laurin said:
How cute is that! I hope you gave him a Pop-tart for posing so well.
107. Chris from Ohio said:
I'm so glad I woke up ridiculously early for a Sunday and wandered back in here... Poor Chuck. I must confess, I dig his turkey style.
108. Mouse said:

109. Brooke said:
That's adorable. My seventy-pound Golden Retriever will tolerate anything, but I just don't have the heart to dress him up.
110. Anna said:
Oh the cuteness that is dressed up pets
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/icaruslaughing/costume34.jpg
111. Marit said:
I feel so guilty for thinking this is adorable.
112. Dee said:
LOL -- Is he a Thanksgiving Turkey? Please please please don't stuff him and eat him for dinner.
113. Nik said:
Can't wait to see what Leta looks like!
114. Jenny said:
Hee! Happy Halloween!
115. receptionista said:
god bless chuck...
116. Lauren said:
I gotta say, I love Mouse.
117. LadyBug said:
He's gotta be thinking, "If these photos ever get out, it will TOTALLY ruin my political career."
Can't wait to see Leta!
Happy Halloween everyone!
118. Spring said:
Too.Damn.Funny.
119. Belladonna said:
Hell reserves a special place for perpetrators of cuteness of that magnitude...
120. Jeff said:
Oh NO!!! That is too funny!!! I love animals, cats, dogs..., but i also love to tease them too:) Happy halloween!
121. Charles R. Kaiser said:
I have reported you to Utah Child Welfare and to the local office of the Humane Society. . .
Or was that just a dream? Flapping babies, dogs in chicken suits. . .
Sounds like it could have all been a dream. A twisted, funny dream.
CLUCK ON CHUCK CHICKEN!
122. Sue FromOhio said:
Mouse, I think I must be secretly 'greyhound'. I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to understand your language....
Dooce, does Chuck ever type on your laptop when you're not looking? My Lucy might explain the drool on the keyboard here....
123. Wendy said:
Chucken. It's what's for dinner! Hee hee!
That look of silent indignation is priceless.
And why do I get the feeling that it's going to be easier to dress up The Former Congressman this year than it is Leta?
124. Meredith said:
I love it! Chuck is absolutely adorable, and having dogs that can tolerate that kind of "cruelty" and "abuse" are so much fun.
125. David said:
Awsome!
126. Leanna said:
Your Blog makes me laugh and I love you hallow weeny Dog hee hee. Keep on blogging!!
127. Leanna said:
OOPS Typo....YOUR Dog not YOU Dog...=)
128. Shiz said:
Chuck's expression is priceless.
129. Ethel said:
Oh my gosh this is so cute!!!!
(Sorry, I'm sure someone has said that already but I'm not readin all 500 of your comments today! lol)
130. bb said:
doooooooooooce. where's our daily photo today?? it IS halloween after all!
(someone's obsessed)
131. zchamu said:
Buwahahahah! Chuck is the BEST. Question: Does Chuck move when the costume is on? Because when I put a costume on my dog, he WON'T MOVE. He will stand there in his adorable little Elvis suit and not move a muscle.
