Hello friends!

It’s me, your favorite Family and MWR mascot, Milo! Fall is just around the corner and everyone is getting into the holiday spirit of things. October is howling through with our favorite holiday, Halloween!

It’s a fun holiday where everyone likes to dress up as their favorite character! I personally like to go as a super hero, ‘cause I like to save the day! When November rolls around I jump into my Thanksgiving pants! They give me room for my tummy for all the turkey I like to eat!

Dressing in my ugly sweater for December, is fun and silly, but I like how cozy and warm it can be! Dressing up can be fun for most of us fur buddies. If we are willing to dress up, I’d say “let’s do it!” If not, please keep in mind some of us, like Olaf says, “find clothes restricting.”

When looking for costume/outfit ideas, consider the material you’ll be using, even pets can be allergic to fabrics. When you measure the material make sure it is not too tight, give us extra room. I personally like to be able to move around freely. Find costume ideas that can utilize our harness or collars.

It’s simple and easy to create a flower or butterfly costume using something we are familiar with wearing. Don’t forget to have fun while designing our costumes, but remember to keep our face clear of coverings, so we can breathe easily. Use light materials, nothing too heavy for us to wear. I tend to get tired of wearing my costume after a while, and I start to wiggle out of it.

If we are getting tired, please help us get out of our costume safely. The most fun I have with costumes is trying them on and taking photos. I usually get a treat just for looking paw-some!

Paws & Kisses,

Milo
