Here I Come To Save The Day!
Meet my super dog.
Super Leroy.
Super Leroy is modeling his Halloween Costume that we won a few weeks ago from Keep the Tail Wagging.
I usually don’t enter contests for Halloween costumes because, well, there are no costumes big enough for BIG dogs:(
There’s really not.
Last year I had to buy Leroy’s devil costume in an adult size medium at Target.
Which is why I have no idea why I entered the contest, but I did, and then I won.
So when the very nice representative from HalloweenCostumes.com contacted me asking which pet costume I would like, I had to ask her for help. I explained that I had a 140 pound Newfoundland and that I wasn’t sure if they had a pet costume that would fit him.
She laughed and suggested the Superman costume since the cape is adjustable and the other various pieces just attach to the dog’s collar, ……… and because 2012 is totally the year of the super dog costume!
I have to say this is the first pet costume that I have seen fit a Newfoundland halfway decent.
The super awesome thing about this costume, that probably only I would notice, is that the cape can double as an emergency drool wiper in certain situations.
Now some would wonder why Sherman isn’t wearing the superman costume and, well……….. if you look closely at the window in the above picture you can see Sherman was wondering the same thing.
While Sherman is of course my hero, he did not look half as hilarious as Leroy did in the costume.
I’m being honest here.
Leroy displays the costume in true super dog force .
Just look at him coming to save the day.
My little super dog.
Yep, that’s Leroy.

Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:38 pm (254 days ago)Ha-ha! Leroy is one of those dogs that you just aren’t sure if he would help you or leave you:)))

Kristine
October 5, 2012 at 8:04 am (257 days ago)Too cute! Although I admit Leroy does look like he’s en route to save the day. Are you entering them in the costume contest? They would be some fierce competition!
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:36 pm (254 days ago)Thanks! Leroy will be entered in the contest for sure!
Jen K
October 5, 2012 at 8:42 am (257 days ago)lol! I would feel bad for him all dressed up if he didn’t own it so well! And impressive to find a costume that even sort of works on a Newf!
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:37 pm (254 days ago)I know right? He so owns it!
Eva or sometimes Priscilla
October 5, 2012 at 8:47 am (257 days ago)You’re the most handsome Superman, Leroy!

October 5, 2012 at 8:56 am (257 days ago)I love it! Leroy the superhero!
Sam
October 5, 2012 at 9:23 am (257 days ago)We usually buy children’s costumes for the pups, and then I spend some time altering them to fit. Looking good, Leroy!
Sam
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:38 pm (254 days ago)If only I knew how to alter!
emma
October 5, 2012 at 9:32 am (257 days ago)Hey Super Newf! I think you need a bigger cape but otherwise you look great and you Newfies are rescue dogs so this costume fits you!
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:39 pm (254 days ago)Ha-ha! That is so true, I should of taken a picture of him by the lake!
Finn
October 5, 2012 at 9:58 am (257 days ago)Love it!!! That customer service rep was very smart!
Roxy the traveling dog
October 5, 2012 at 10:09 am (257 days ago)That’s great, Leroy really does look super!
Corbin
October 5, 2012 at 10:15 am (257 days ago)Leroy neve fails to put a smile on my face, but Leroy in a Superdog costume sure didn’t fail to make my hysterically laugh out loud this morning!

Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:39 pm (254 days ago)Awwww, thanks! He makes me smile a lot too!

October 5, 2012 at 10:32 am (257 days ago)Of course, you know….Here I come to save the day…..is actually the theme song for Mighty Mouse
I can’t see a 140lb Newf dressed as a mouse, Superman is definitely more appropriate 
Oh, and, I will now be singing that theme song to myself for the next few hours……
There’s a superhero (or should I say superdog) at my house too, but I haven’t done the photo shoot yet…..
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:40 pm (254 days ago)LOL, I knew it wan’t to Superman but I couldn’t figure out what it went too!
I have been singing the song for a week now!

October 5, 2012 at 11:22 am (257 days ago)That’s hilarious! So, not only does Leroy double as a dog by day and superhero by night – but his cape is versatile too! I’m very glad to see the costume didn’t come with tights!
Maybe Sherman could be Robin? Hehehehe
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:41 pm (254 days ago)Ha-ha! Tights would of been so funny!
Jodi
October 5, 2012 at 11:48 am (256 days ago)Holy Sh*t, that is some funny stuff right there Miss Jen. The first picture brought out the smile, but the writing and subsequent pictures brought the laughter.
Thank you for an awesome way to end the week.
Super Dog.
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:41 pm (254 days ago)LOL! Thanks Jodi!

Jan

Vicki
October 5, 2012 at 4:32 pm (256 days ago)No costume for Sherman? No wonder he’s looking out the window with envy – lol.
Looks like you are going to need that cape for a drool rag Jen. Leroy is so happy he’s foaming. He even trots like a super dog. Very cute!
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:36 pm (254 days ago)Sherman doesn’t do well with costumes. He looks like such a dork in any of them!
Nichole

Did you do something different with your blog this week? For some reason, it looks like all of your posts for the week popped up in my reader today. No wonder I’ve been wondering what you were up to! Sheesh!
Jen
October 6, 2012 at 7:32 am (256 days ago)Thanks!
I did not do anything different with the blog this week, for some reason this happened where nothing for the week updated, it’s happened before and I have no idea why! The posts weren’t updating anywhere:(((

October 6, 2012 at 4:24 am (256 days ago)That costume is PERFECT for Leroy!! How I’d love to have HIM come and save the day!! He actually looks pretty happy with his costume on!! I can remember going through the same thing with Zippo…never could find costumes that would fit him…quite right. One year we found him a huge CATERPILLAR costume and he was such a sweetheart letting me dress him up. He never, ever complained. He was the cutest caterpillar one has ever seen! He even wore the headpiece with the antennae!! Leroy is the cutest SuperDog I’ve ever seen!!
Jen
October 7, 2012 at 2:43 pm (254 days ago)A caterpillar sounds adorable! They are just so patient and sweet!

Have fun
Your pal Snoopy

October 7, 2012 at 7:54 pm (254 days ago)Hey Super Leroy, Hey Sherman, Jet here. Hi Miss Jen.
Uh… Mom is still laughing… I think Leroy looks Super. I would trust him to Save the Day! Love Sherman peeking through the window… BOL… good one Miss Jen, good one.
Bongo
October 8, 2012 at 12:26 am (254 days ago)Leroy, you look great in that costume. We could hang out together. I’ve got a Super Dog cape. We’d make a great team.

October 8, 2012 at 12:55 am (254 days ago)Leroy is rocking that cape! Forget the man of steel, the NEWF of steel gets my vote!
Karen and Gerard
October 8, 2012 at 6:42 am (254 days ago)Looks like the perfect costume for Leroy–I think he even likes it!
Amy@GoPetFriendly
October 9, 2012 at 12:56 pm (252 days ago)LOL! Using the cape as a drool wiper is brilliant. Leroy may have to wear that long after Halloween has come and gone.
Lauren
October 23, 2012 at 8:24 am (239 days ago)We have the same costume for Des this year!
