Introducing Henrey: his Passion for Fashion

Henrey loves dressing up as much as I love the Red Sox. The fascination began with his hot pink "Rich Bitch" t-shirt, which he did not care for, but I could tell his interest in clothing was peaked. Upon moving to Boston, his wardrobe evolved. Courtesy of Joey, my wonderful brother, Henrey got a tan sued and sheep skin jacket with matching boots. While he loves the jacket, he is not crazy about his boots. when I come near him with the boots he freaks out, growls a bit and runs and hides under the bed. However, his jacket is now a winter wardrobe staple.

Then came the fabulous Christmas sweater. It is red with a green satin tree, sequin ornaments, and the best part...a battery pack that you turn on so that the tree's star twinkles. I get this sweater out of the closet and all hell breaks loose...he wags his tail frantically and barks until I put it on him. He loves it, even though it is mildly queer. (Side note: I am not homophobic, I love gays and support gay rights 110%, I simply use this term to describe the fabulousness that is my male dog's twinkling, sparkly sweater).

Once Christmas was over, Henrey began sporting a navy blue/baby blue argyle sweater that he loves, but admittedly, not as much as his Christmas sweater. He makes do, and is most likely counting down the days until December 1st, when he can get back into his fancy holiday sweater.

Why discuss my dogs favorite sweaters? Contrary to what you are thinking, I do have a life..I just want to paint the fullest picture as to how much he enjoys clothing and playing dress up. So naturally, as Halloween is approaching, we had to get a costume. Not just any costume would do. Henrey has, in the past, gone as Superman, with a cape, breast plate, and all. But I wanted something adorable this year. Something that gives superman, the jacket, the Christmas sweater and everything in between a run for their money. So...ladies and gentlemen, may I proudly present John Henrey, the most precious dinosaur that ever lived.
