Halloween Countdown, Day 12

[eldritchhobbit]

Every year, my parents send their granddog, the fabulous Virginia, a Halloween costume for her to wear (as well as treats to bribe her to model for pictures).

This year, my brilliant parents outdid themselves, creating and accessorizing a most remarkable costume. I invite you to behold Virginia as H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu, first introduced in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu", which was published in Weird Tales in 1928.

Under the ocean, she waits until the stars are right...





She was well compensated with treats both during and after her photo session. :)


Here are some of Virginia's previous costumes from recent Halloweens.




























As always, you can see many more pictures of Virginia here.

My apologies for not answering sooner! Your photo has popped up in a number of places around the 'net (mostly at Pinterest), so a lot of people seem to be enjoying it :)

Anyway, I'll be including Virginia the Cthulhupug in an LJ post in a day or two (the third of several costumed animal posts, of which I've posted the first so far, and will comment here with a link back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful girl and her cute outfits! (My second favorite being the banana split.)

...also, would you mind if I include your real name (from your official website) as a photo credit?

Thank *you* so much! That's lovely. And yes, you're welcome to credit my name. I really do appreciate your asking.

Oh, and technically that's CthulhuBoston. ;) Boston terrier, that is!

Thanks again for your kindness, and Happy Halloween!
