Looking Good Is Never Easy

Ok, you have to admit it, Rudy looks so cute in the suit. I took a lot of pictures for our holiday card. This pic wasn't the the winner but he looks so adorable I had to share it.  Getting him into the suit was a challenge. I bought it online so I didn't know how it was designed.  I soon found out that the designers focused more on fashion than function.

The suit has a few buttons at the top and some going down the legs that stop at the ankle cuff. I had to slide the feet through the cuff then button up the legs, this is after shimming Rudy through the top part. Luckily he's still very flexible so no bones were broken. In the end I got him into the suit using a lot of patience and although there were a few grunts here and there he didn't crack a cry. I, on the other hand, may have shed a tear or two.
Unfortunately Rudy was exhausted from the dressing session and quickly fell asleep once he was in full costume. He still looks absolutely fabulous but you know what they say, "looking good is never easy".

I think this is the last time he will ever where this outfit. I actually considered cutting it off of him. Seriously.
