Mouser The Magnificent Mariachi Chihuahua

So last weekend, I went to this Halloween pet parade a little ways from where I live. I decided to enter my Chihuahua, Mouser, and when thinking of costume ideas, I wanted to do something that would be very fitting for him. And I thought, since Chihuahuas came from Mexico, why not do a Mariachi costume? If you don't know what that is, in Mexico, there are these things called Mariachi bands, it's a group of people who dress up fancy with sombreros and play in public places (like at a restaurant, they may go over to your table and play for you). Although you're also expected to tip them.
And so I spent about a week making the costume, mostly made of felt and sequins. But the sombrero I had to cut up a paper plate, and the glue the felt over it, because felt on its own cannot hold a shape like that. And then there's also a part that goes over his back, and stockings for his hind legs. And the back part has a little clay guitar attached to it.
He won most unique. I think he had one of the best costumes there. There was no overall winner, just category winners, but I bet if there was one, he would be it. FOr the prize, I got this app;e themed basket. Like mason jars with apples on them, a ceramic apple wall hanging, and this other apple decoration. And a nice big green blanket. And then a shed blade, which is sort of like a specialized comb thing to help lessen a dog's shedding.
Well anyways hope you enjoyed my dog's cuteness. He did not enjoy the costume. He kept shaking the sombrero off and kicking off the stockings.
