<p>Mellan was always very, very tolerant and patient! Not that I had him wearing costumes for hours and hours, but he always let me dress him up in ridiculous outfits/costumes/head accessories when he was a young pup all the way until he was merely young-at-heart. Older dogs can sometimes get less patient with certain things, but he was so food-motivated that he&#8217;d gladly dress up and sit (or lie) for photos knowing that food was around the horizon. I couldn&#8217;t pick a favorite costume at all, since he looked so good in all of them! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> </p>
<p>The photo of him in the tiger-striped, over-sized tie is from a trip my husband (then-boyfriend) and I took with my family. It was over a decade ago, and it was the first time my family had spent real time with my husband (then-boyfriend).  I&#8217;ve always loved this photo with the tie because he was mid-yawn but looked so ferocious! Couldn&#8217;t have asked him to hit a better pose.</p>
<p>P.S. &#8212; Loved him in his Harry Potter costumes, but I wanted to note that JK Rowling has been a total and utter disappointment with her transphobia in the last two years.</p>
