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!
