Yahoo! Pups in costume, western style

We asked, you delivered (much to your dogs' misgivings, perhaps).

Well, three of you delivered, two of whom were harrassed in person because you have the misfortune to work with Josh and me at the Breeze. You know who you are.

But now, a third entry! And from an actual non-employee reader of the South Bay Pets Blog. Who was NOT threatened. Honest.  

Woo-Hoo!

Indi's Mama (Sanam to those of us who know her at the dog park) submitted a tableau, although in separate scenes, of her dog Indi and Indi's good friend, Charlie (try getting 2 dogs to pose together in costume).

Sanam was born in Iran and grew up in Italy. Since coming here, she's gotten her master's degree and decided to have some fun with American history in her costume selections. Indi, in case you hadn't guessed, is Pocahontas (her full name, after all, is Indiana):  

She was named in homage to Native Americans. The word Indiana in Italian means female Indian and after doing some Internet research I found out that it also means land of Indians in one of the Native American languages.

I decided that Charlie had to be a cowboy because I thought it would be funny to have an Indian girl and a cowboy. Historically, cowboys and American Indians have always fought against each other, but these two are the best of friends!

Sanam blames the lack of an actual "togetherness" photo on Charlie, who "will not stay still." We have not heard from Charlie's owner on this point, however, so we will suspend judgement on that issue.

Indi has been featured on this blog before (that's her above). But this is Charlie's debut.

Charlie is a blue nose pit bull who belongs to Rudy, one of Sanam and Jon's neighbors.

    

  He's pretty cute.

And being a good sport.

And Indi, of course, looks quite fetching (if a bit long-suffering) in her Indian maiden (faux) buckskin
