Steampunk, Meet Steampup

Yes, Halloween was back in the long-long ago time when things still made sense, but reader AB, of Rey and Grogu fame, just shared these pets dressed for a long-long ago time that never was. So fire up the dirigible and wind your pocket watch, it’s full steam ahead.

This Halloween, my husband and I donned brown togs and pocket watches for a steampunk look, and Fennec the Steampup served as the official Trick-or-treater Greeter!

Pardon me, the mechanical butler’s on the fritz again.

Dakk the Russian Blue devil cat deigned to try on Fennec’s outfit for a brief photo op punctuated by angry meowing.

More power to the aft propellers, if you please!

Um, should we be worried about that skyscraper ahead of us?

Jinx the black lab was willing to pose in the vest but considered the hat beneath his dignity.

I’m just here for the treats, not the tricks.

Time for Maru to get his greens, and when he gets greens, he gets grabby.

Alas, it begins to rain, but Maru has the perfect rainy day activity: beer boxes!

That’s a lot of beer, Andrew Y.
