Legally Blonde's Proceedings

Happy Halloween! As with each year, I've made Lola wear a costume.  It's just for photos, but she hates it all the same!  You'd think 14 years of costumes in, she'd be used to it.   I ready something funny and it totally applies:  I let my dog live rent free all year.  She has to repay me by wearing a halloween costume. Yes!  This is my theory too. Here she is... Lola as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, aka: The Notorious RBG! "I Dissent!"
