It Doesn’t Taste Like Mustard…



- Date: I have mortification amnesia (aka: I’m trying not to remember)
- Location: the den
- I’m feeling: pissed off
Look at me, I’m a dog named Hamburger dressed up as a hot dog for Halloween. Isn’t that just the cutest thing? No. It’s not. It’s stupid and scratchy and not edible at all. Good thing I escaped the clutches of those fake buns pretty quickly and put that costume where it belongs… on the floor.

Burger,
My little girl (a mini dachshund) named Heidi, has the same costume. She wears it every Halloween to hand out candy to the kids in the neighborhood and she gets lots of compliments and even gets people coming to see the “hot dog in the hotdog costume”! She doesn’t mind wearing it anymore because she knows she is going to get lots of hugs and kisses from all the kids and even some treats!
Look at it this way Burger….you are an all-pure-beef-special-grade-A-Oscar-Mayer-hotdog in my book! No fillers or by-products!
That costume is too cute! I posted a picture of my dog in her bee costume today- she rarely sits still for pictures, but at least she’ll keep her antenna headband on :).
Dear Burger,
I share your pain.
Love,
Duncan

Hey Burger, our mom’s friend told us about your blog! We love it! It’s too bad we’re too late for the bachelor search though… Dixie and Harles are spoken for but Sophie is lonely and single. BOL poor pug! Anyways we are looking forward to reading your blog!
-Sophie, Dixie, and Harley
I feel your pain, Burger! My parents dressed me up too: http://corgibutts.blogspot.com/2009/10/ready-for-halloween.html
Mortifying, I tell you!

Target, right? Since Ries is part “hot dog” part Terrier I almost bought that costume for her too- so funny though and super cute Burger!
so cute! My “Hot Dog” Dachshund is going to be a dinosaur for halloween. I thought it was a bit too cliche to dress him up as a hot dog – but Burger looks oh so adorable in his outfit!
I knew we were meant to be! I love that you dressed up to look just like me, a hot dog! Now if only my parents could have found a hamburger costume, that’d be a match made in heaven. Mom bought me the exact same costume yesterday and made me wear it…so embarassing. Have fun trick or treating!
Kisses,
Bella
Burger,
Calvin the dachshund here, mom is typing for me because I’m in need of a pedicure and keep hitting the wrong keys. I really hope you peed on that thing when you got it on the floor. My parents thought about doing that crap to me too, but after I gave them “the look” they quickly changed their minds. I think we should lead a “ban the stuffed hotdog costume” revolt!
Stay strong my brother,
Calvin
Dear Burger,
You look delicious! My mommy said she has a surprise costume for me…I hope I’m not dressing up as a cat or a squirrel!
PS- My parents tell me this is cute…so why aren’t they dressed as anything?!
XO,

Hi Burger- Love your Halloween costume! I told my parents that I wanted to be a gangsta rapper this year and this is what they came up with: http://navybeanonline.blogspot.com/2009/10/navy-friday_30.html
Happy Halloween!!

I can relate. Mom and Dad dressed me up as a Lobster. What, they couldn’t find something in the 9.99 aisle at Target that was a little more feminine?

I love knowing that I’m not alone in the Halloween mortification. Thanks for chiming in with all the other costume torture going on so I don’t feel like the only one.
DUDE! At least you weren’t a turtle! My brother Kimo drew the short straw and got the banana costume.
Burger,
My mom dressed me up in a costume too. And then, she and dad just sat there and laughed at me. I feel your pain.

Burger,
I was afflicted with the same costume problem this year. I ate mine. The parents were not so happy but it was a lot more fun than wearing it.
Best,

Burger,
I feel your pain. I hate costumes too. I’m a double coated Pekingese I really don’t need extra clothes and some humans see a small dog in clothes and automatically thing you’re a wuss. I’m not a wuss, I have a tough guy name – Blitzkrieg! I tolerate wearing my namesake Ramones bandanna to our Halloween Pet Parade because my human made it for me and well, it’s The Ramones. I’d rather wear my backpack and be a hiker. The Humans think it’s cute that I wear a backpack (dude, I like to hike as much as the big dogs) and want to put extra treats in it. Since I wear to a charity Halloween parade, and I’m charitable I let them.
Your friend, Blitzkrieg.









Awww, Burger you look so cute as a hot dog! Maybe if you wear the costume for a little while on Halloween — just to humor the parentals — you’ll get a real hot dog as a reward?
