We'll be attending our local Sheltie Rescue Annual Picnic and Costume Contest in mid-October. Wanted to make our costume something really topical, so I came up with the idea of Bark Obama, but am unsure of how to make it! Other than big ears and a suit, what else can I do to clearly express the costume idea? (FYI, I'm actually non-partisan, and so is the dog.)

I think if you just add an Obama button, you should be covered. And a plain blue tie.

Good idea. I'll find the campaign's website and see if I can get a button. I think I'll do a white shirt instead of a suit, and I'll try to find a blue tie to signify democrat--good thinking!

Did you say what kind of dog you had? Because I hear if you put lipstick on a pitbull...

Hey, wait, I'd actually like to see lipstick on a pitbull! After doing some web research, I found that another option would be to do "McCanine".
Or, what would be really cool, since the costume contest is right before the election, is a sort of Push-me-pull-you (from Dr. Doolittle) utilizing Bark Obama AND McCanine shirts, going opposite directions! (But which end for the head, and which end for the tail? Hmmm...)
