You do have a wicked sense of humor and I love it!

I was shopping and my eye was caught by all these Halloween costumes for pets and I was wondering if anyone here dressed their dog up for the holiday?

We don't get a lot of kids, but the neighborhood kids all love my dog so I'm tempted to buy a costume for her to wear - I think the kids would get a big kick out of it.

My only concern is that she isn't crazy about wearing coats in the winter or rain so she probably won't appreciate wearing a costume for a few hours.

Do any of you dress your dogs up?

Mine love getting dressed up

glorybeecosta - how adorable. Those white dresses look super frilly - perfect for a stylish little girl.

I have the same poodle skirt costume for Dulcie! Unfortunately, it arrived a couple of days after Hallowe'en last year, but I am planning to take her out in it this year.

Abbey's Halloween costume last year

Love the purple tutu with a matching flower in her hair. haha. Was that a child's tutu?

That reminds me when my kids were little, they sometimes would put a tutu (one daughter wore it when she was 3-4 yo) on our toy poodle for dress up - Taffy wouldn't tolerate being dressed in clothes, nor would she tolerate being put in the baby carriage for "walks", but she did tolerate the tutu and would stand on her hind legs and dance for their friends.

I kind of wanted to get myself a poodle skirt and make a skirt for the poodle with a human on it. Sort of a people skirt, just to be weird. ;p

A friend of mine suggested exactly same thing to me. Hilarious!

I saw a lamb costume in the store yesterday and really wanted to get it for Rookie but DD vetoed me.

A lamb costume would be adorable - where did you find a lamb costume?

Haven't figured out what we are going to do for a costume this year but last year we did this...........Like I said I want Molly to be comfortable... and surprisingly she was ok with the witches hat ! LOL! She even smiled! hahahaha!!!!

 

[Skylar]

Wow, that's a very fancy witch's hat with the netting over her eyes - your dog must be extremely patient to have worn the hat. Did she wear it all night or just for the photo?

I think Hugo would look too cute in this!! Should I get him a batman costume??

Last year Lily and Javelin went to the Canine Cognition Center at Yale's Halloween party as matching devil dogs. They won a prize for being the best pair of costumed dogs. I can't find a picture just now, but I am thinking there is one buried in Javelin's 52 weeks thread somewhere. Lily has also been a dragon and a bumble bee.

Here..... I remembered seeing it in Javs 52 weeks.....

We don't dress our dogs or even put bows in their hair because my husband thinks its cruel. LOL The first thing he said when he agreed my daughter could get what he calls a "purse dog" was that we could never put clothes on her. I would totally dress them up

 

[Skylar]

I just discovered they had pet "wigs" in PetCo. Clearly I don't get out enough, haha.

I was surprised that Babykins patiently allowed me to put on on her head and take a photo of her in the Marie Antoinette. She refused to try on the mullet.

 

[Skylar]

Sorry the photo is sideways - not sure why because it's right side up on my computer. I took it with an iPhone.

You dug deep! I can't get over how much Javelin looks like a little boy there. He would be about 5 1/2 months old in that picture.

BTW I just bought them matching Halloween collars. Going a little low key this year.

 

[Skylar]

aasteapots - thanks for posting the photos of Catherine's Javelin and Lily - they make magnificent devils. haha

Dina I think the batman costume is smart- it clearly looks like a Batman outfit, but it also looks like it's not too fussy so most dogs would tolerate wearing it for the night.

I have dressed up several of my dogs I also dress up the guinea pigs now and then for pics I don't think Umney will wear a costume, but I think I may try to apply a Halloween stencil

Guinea pigs in clothes - that sounds absolutely adorable.

Here are the collars I got for Lily and Javelin. Sadly they didn't have one big enough for Peeves. Our theme this year is scary spiders.
