A Little Halloween Fun

October, the scary month, ok well not really scary, but a whole lot of fun.  As children, we dress up in costumes, and go door to door in search of treats.  Why not dress up our kid’s, I mean the fur kid’s of course.  There is no reason they can’t join in the fun.

There are any number of costumes available for dogs.   Cheeky Chihuahua has a great post on costumes for your Chihuahua, or more appropriately how to re-introduce your Chihuahua to the idea of costumes.  It’s important to remember that some Chi’s do not like being dressed up, and we should never force it on them.  Others though do enjoy clothes, and seem to, at times pick what they want to wear. 

Annie is one of those dogs that likes to fold her ears strait out to the side of her head.  We have called her Yoda Oda for years because if it.  She looks just like Yoda when she does this.  We found this Yoda costume on line, and they let you put your dogs photo in the picture so you can see what they would look like.   So of course we had to give it a try.

Callie is a lady bug this year, and it’s really cute.  She seems perfectly happy about wearing a costume.  Callie is usually very hard to get a picture of, for she seems to be camera shy.  But in her costume, she was more than willing to pose for a few shots.

If you need some suggestion, there are a lot of blogs out there that are promoting pet costumes, or just search pet costumes on ebay and see what comes up.
