First of all, the Mango wants to say what an honor it was to be part of Miss Daisy’s big Halloween costume contest and to thank all our entrants into the Most Creative category. In order to better appreciate the creativity of my entrants, I asked them to act out their costumes for me. First up was Albert E. Hairless. He took me on a ride on some freaky Mad Max tank thing. To be honest, the Mango was a wee bit scared.
I was a bit confused by Dottie and Dozer’s costumes, but they explained to me that they were adhering to the Minimalist School of art and even took me to a gallery to explain things.
Aladdin and Phoenix had thoughtfully provided a full under the sea setting already. Now, the Mango doesn’t swim, but for the sake of my judging I donned the appropriate gear and set to. Frankly, I don’t know how those two manage to hold their breath for so long. Of course it could be that they did not suffer from slobbers clogging up their snorkels. Just a thought.
Luda wore the uniform of her favorite softball team. I was unable to make the trip out to see him in action with his team, but our local gal’s team allowed him to take a few swings at their practice session.
Wow! Major faux pas here for the Mango. I had assumed that Honey was dressed as a lion. Only to discover that she was actually made up for some sort of Zoolander runway adventure.
Cooper! Who knew. First of all, he is daring enough to wear orange with his blond furs which I would never have tried myself. But he also knows lots of creative plays for the footballs.
Thunder was some sort of knight dude. He said that jousting was just the ticket to get into the swing of things but I fear my aim was a bit off.
WOW! So hard to choose, but Miss Daisy said there can only be one winner. Sigh. And the winner is…..
ALBERT E. HAIRLESS!!! Come on down!
I chose Albert for most creative because he took his weird little hairless self and totally transformed into a really cool kick-ass dude. I mean, look at the little guy!

I knew there was a reason that despite the fall behind (why do they call it fall behind? there is no fall on MY behind), I couldn’t stay in my dog bed this morning! I was up at the crack of dawn because I couldn’t wait to check Daisy’s blog to see the winners. low and behold…I was up there! That tank pic is awesome! What fun! My thanks go out to Daisy and all of the judges particularly Mango (tail wags and slobbery kisses!) and to my mom who took careful time into painting my body…oooo it tickled. I had to be verrrry careful not to smudge my camo before the doggie parade that I was in. I humbly accept this award because I didn’t even barely get a second notice in the parade, so this means a lot to me my furry friends!
Albert E. Hairless
Great judging Mango! That was so funny!
