What the world needs now is pug, sweet pug

10/08/2008

I don’t know about the rest of you, but between our current economic apocalypse and the intensity of this year’s election politics, I’m freaking exhausted. Tapped, drained, spent, BURNT OUT.

Which is precisely why I decided it was time to pull out the big guns.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I bring you some much needed levity — embodied in the form of the fluffy, fawn-colored lump of pure awesome we call Truman — dressed up as a pig and a chicken.

Could it be…. BACON?

Freed from pig-headed terror, Truman now wrestles with the horrors of pig neck

He’s trying to go to his happy place here, far far away from the pain

Yeah, he looks comfortable with all of this. Totally.

For trick-or-treating purposes, I’m partial to chicken myself, though M insists pig is the way to go. Mired as we are in this heavy season of debate, what say you regarding the all-important Pig Vs. Chicken issue, my fellow Americans?

Aside to Jonniker: OH IT’S ON.

    If you can put lipstick on him, I vote for the pig.

    while i give Truman due props for bearing full costume TWICE (p.s. Pig! Pig! Pig!), i direct your attention here: http://www.sarcomical.com/sarcomical/2007/11/nabl…
    …where i trump you.
    YEA, I TRUMP THEE.

    He is too cute. I vote for the pig. Piggy Pug.

  • http://poppunkazaleas.blogspot.com/ Kimberly C

    pig all the way.

  • Vicki

    I have to say that I think maybe Sarcomical did trump you. You are gonna have to get some of those wigs for Truman. He's very cute and I have to agree with the pig voters. And the lipstick would be hilarious…

  • Reada

    I actually like the chicken better. But what do I know? I dressed my bulldog Izzy in a ladybug outfit one Halloween and she got so annoyed that after the costume came off, she marched to the center of the room and peed while looking me square in the eye. My dog is no fun.

    Well, in the spirit if this year's election, I too have to go with the pig.
    And OMG is he freakin' cute.

  • http://www.swopefiles.wordpress.com Hilary

    He looks pretty fabulous in both but I vite chicken – unless lipstick really is possible.

  • http://www.swopefiles.wordpress.com Hilary

    vite = vote

  • http://jonniker.com jonniker

    Ha ha HAAAAA. I will totally admit defeat, seeing as you had TWO OUTFITS. TWO.
    Poor Truman. Traumatized as only a pug can be.
    Oh, and for the record, I'm going with PIG.

  • http://baltimoregal.blogspot.com/ baltimoregal

    I think he looks more comfy in the chicken for some reason. Pig= TOTAL DEFEAT.
    I'm trying to figure out a way to get Stella to wear lipstick for Halloween, being part pit bull and all.

  • Katie Kat

    Oh yeah… pig and lipstick. GOTTA be that one!

  • http://theredneckmommy.com Redneck Mommy

    My vote is the pig. And now I must go find an outfit for Nixon.
    You and Truman are corrupting me.
    I love it.

  • http://onefineneuroticmess.blogspot.com chibi

    Pug as pig for sure! (Chicken is cute, too.)

  • Kristen

    CHICKEN!

  • http://www.thatbadpenguin.com bad penguin

    Pig is cute, but I think chicken wins!

  • http://laurinandkellytalk.com Laurin

    Which one does he feel more comfortable in? He seems much more ambivalent about the chicken.
    I spent last weekend babysitting a pug puppy. Want one now.

  • http://keriskorner.blogspot.com Keri

    I think I'm gonna have to go with Porky the Pug

  • http://maddiethegirl.blogspot.com/ Amanda

    PIG…and you MUST add some lipstick.
    My fav photo is the last one with the pig. I love how his little face is just resting on the ground, and it looks like he's being eaten alive by a giant pig. Agghh!

    Chicken-Dog!

    Oh. Hell. YEAH!

  • http://yummysushipajamas.wordpress.com heather

    The pig is funnier in theory, but the chicken is cooler when looking at it.

  • http://listenupmofos.blogspot.com Florencia

    Crap! I love pigs, so I should vote pig, but Chicken looks much better on him! Chickeeeeeen!!!!

  • jen

    I say you change mid-trick or treating – then you re-hit all the houses.
    That said, I think I need one of these for the cat. http://kittywigs.com/wigindex.html
    Pink, blue or silver. The blonde one looks too Carol Brady to me.

  • http://kathy-p.blogspot.com/ Kathy

    They're both cute, but I dig the pig costume a little bit more.

  • http://mysuperhopelessromance.blogspot.com Cordy @ mysuperhopel

    DEFINITELY the chicken.
    Dang, I really need a pug.

  • http://www.issascrazyworld.blogspot.com Issa

    I love them both, but I have to say pig. There is something about the little pink pig head that just screams to be worn.

  • http://retardedinlove.com Michelle

    I vote chicken.
    Where in the world did you get those adorable things?

  • http://www.drivedaily.blogspot.com melissa

    chicken all the way!

  • Michelle H

    Lily loves pigs so it's gotta be the pig! I can't wait to show her this pick.
    Where'd ya get it? I'd love to put Daisy in it for her.

  • http://lianatheodora.livejournal.com Liana

    I like the chicken better!
    But anyway- THANK YOU for posting these. I needed them more than you or the wonderful Truman could ever know.
    His facial expressions=priceless!
    :)

    have you seen this: http://westwhim.com/post/53808575/spider-pug
    i like the chicken.

  • http://cinnamonandhoney.blogspot.com Robin

    OMG. Both are ridiculously hilarious! But i am going to go with PIG!!! There's something extra special about seeing a pug in pink! Love the idea about adding lipstick, btw!

  • Karla

    I think he looks out and proud in that chicken pic 2nd from the end.

  • http://stimeyland.blogspot.com Stimey

    We dressed our dog up as a clown one year. That's been our only dog costume. But it was a good one.

  • http://youlovelile.blogspot.com Erin Myers

    now that I've stopped laughing long enough to type – PIG!!!!

  • http://youlovelile.blogspot.com Erin Myers

    (I think it's the dangling legs/feet that do it for me, btw. You MUST get video of what that looks like when he's walking around…)

  • Nora

    Pig. Definitely pig :-) I'm thinking about getting the pig costume for my dacshund/beagle named Taco. Love it!

  • http://www.schmutzie.com schmutzie

    I'm voting for the chicken costume, because Truman looks almost proud in that thing. All chest-thrusty.

  • http://www.akacontrariwise.blogspot.com/ contrariwise

    All I can possibly say is :
    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
    AND that you better pray that he doesn't come back in a future life to pay you back.

  • PugLove

    Such a cuteness!

    Did you decide? Enquiring minds want to know which won out.
