Good boy, Oscar, good boy
Halloween is just around the corner and after much diliberation, Annie chose to be my parents' deceased mini schnauzer, Zoe. This all came about after asking one night what ghosts were. It was bed time so I was trying to make the answer as un-scary as possible, so I said that ghosts were just our way of pretending we could still see the people we loved even after they were dead. And, since the only dead being she knew alive is Zoe, I used her as an example to illustrate my point. It went something like this:
Me: "It's like if you saw Zoe but you could sort of see through her, and you could talk to her, but you couldn't touch her..."
Annie: "Uh-huh."
Me: "So... that's a ghost..."
Annie: "I want to be Zoe for Halloween."
And, after many days of checking to make sure her decision was firm, Zoe it was. To the second-hand store we went! We got a gray sweatsuit, had our neighbor sew on a white circle of fabric for her belly, I made ears and a tail and sewed them to her hood and bought some fluffy fringe for her cuffs, and voila! Zoe is reincarnated. I think she would be pleased with the results, may she rest in peace. Pictures will, of course, follow.
