Halloween in Dublin

Matt just emailed asking if we'd packed the dog's bee costume for Halloween in Ireland.



The last time I put it on him I had to do quite a bit of cutting to make it fit.  Afterward I just threw it away.  

Thinking about it, having the dog in costume would be considered pretty outside the envelope around here, even in relatively cosmopolitan Dublin.  The practice of parading your dumb chum in fancy dress, something any thoughtful, socially-minded San Franciscan would consider well within the bounds of correct etiquette, would be seen here as perhaps incorrect and even laughable.  Go figure.
