[image-6]Really, honestly, we hadn't meant to publish a short, picture-heavy article featuring San Francisco dogs decked out in Halloween costumes. But when you begin passing one dog after another after another made up to look like a pumpkin, a shark, or J. Edgar Hoover (just kidding; every bulldog looks like J. Edgar Hoover), sooner or later you just surrender and whip out the camera.
Incidentally, the doggie above, while dressed as a purse Chihuahua, was far less noisy than most Chihuahuas I've worked with (and been worked over by).
