Fanny's Halloween Scream!

Fanny's perfect "scream face"

Well, Halloween is here and everyone is excited.

Candy is on everyone's minds. Sugar highs await us.

Costumes are receiving final touches.

Time for the annual Fanny Halloween photo.

I just wanted to let you see how Fanny and I prepare for it.

First, she is too old to go out "Trick or Treating". Second, she would never agree to me dressing her up in a costume.

Fanny is almost 18 years old and is not as active as she once was.

So I decided to chronicle our preparations for the photos.

First, you see a couple of cute little pics of her just chillin'. These depict what she most commonly looks like.

And here is one of her sticking her tongue out and touching her nose. Most likely after eating.

Now it starts to get a little interesting. 

The trick is to catch her during a yawn.

Here is the beginning of a yawn.

Here, she is in the middle of a yawn but she is lying down. I wasn't happy with the effect yet.

Another yawn, but she is still lying down. Not quite what I am looking for.

Although she is giving me a great yawn....still lying down. But this is a perfect way for the Vet to check her teeth, right? If only she could do this on demand.

And now...the "money shot". 

The perfect Halloween photo of her yawn. She's upright. Fangs (canines) in full view and her ears are flattened against her head. 

She looks scary now...for sure.

Anyway, that's how I get my Fanny Halloween Photo.
Now, the final product!

Hope everyone has a wonderful, scary, but safe, Halloween.

Please remember to keep your pets indoors, especially if you have a black cat. There are people that try to hurt black cats around Halloween. Most shelters will not even allow adoptions of black cats around this time of year just for that reason.

Remember to hug your pets at least once a day and remember that we are blessed to have them.

Until next time.....
