N and I are lucky enough to live in a building -- and, more specifically, on a hall -- full of puppy- and dog-lovers. Melina and Henrey next door have become good friends of ours, and we're looking forward to sitting out on the stoop with a bowl full of dog treats for passing pooches on Halloween. Hen already has his dinosaur costume:
Melina gave Nikita a squeaky toy that's provided her with almost 'round-the-clock entertainment. Here's N playing with it first at Melina's, then back at the apartment on the bed:
Melina and Hen also bailed me out big-time when an allergic dinner-guest required that I either leave Nikita trapped and upset in the bathroom or drop her off at a neighbor's. She had a *huge* time playing with Melina, Henry, and Christina from across the hall, pictured below with the pooches:
I got to sleep in all the way until 8:45 -- approximately an hour-and-a-half later than usual -- so clearly N was exhausted from an initially stressful and then fortunately fun night. Thanks Melina and Henney!
Addendum: readers may be pleased/horrified to learn that I've since purchased the very same dino-mite costume for Nikita, size XL.

I absolutely love it!! We had so much fun with her! I am so glad you two are our neighbors!!
Good neighbors are a godsend. Dinosaur costumes on Malamutes, though, I'm not sure ...
The decision appears to've been made for me. Despite 1) her being at least 20 pounds short of full-grown, and 2) my having bought the extra-large dinosaur costume, it was still too small.
I may cut the head off and just have her wear that as some sort of dino-cap. (I can then use the extra 'fins' from the body to make dino-headbands for me and Melina =). We plan on sitting out front with the pooches and giving treats to all passing canines...
