Happy Halloween: Pet Costumes!

Growing up, I had two dogs and a cat. I loved to dress them up for Halloween (or on any random day!). 


Porkie, our overweight dachshund was almost exactly the size of a human baby - thus, fit into my own baby clothes perfectly! Shannon, the border collie, fit into my own clothing really well. I just had to tie up the shirts under her belly so she wouldn't trip on it. She was quite the active dog and we had to avoid tripping. Even though the dogs were reluctant, they eventually went along with it with minimal fuss. Lizzie, our fussy cat, on the other hand, was completely defiant.


So, it only makes sense that the lovely cat that I have now, Bella, absolutely hates to dress up. Don't get me wrong, she loves to model. I have a zillion photos of her ... just zero in costume. I can't even imagine putting her in a fun costume or a hat. She would never stay still long enough to put it on, let alone long enough for me to take a photo of it. So, instead, I will have to enjoy photos of other animals in fun costumes! 


Do you dress up your cat or dog for Halloween? 


 This one is quite inventive! The creator of this costume must have really had some time on his hands... but I say it was worth it.
 Hello Kitty! I mean... c'mon. Adorable.

I had a "hot dog" growing up, but she was black. When we put her in a costume like this, we used to joke that she was a burnt hot dog! Ha!

 You HAVE to visit this Etsy shop, To Scarborough Fair! Not only does it stock the cutest pet hats on the internet, but it also has the best (read: most compliant) cat costume model! 

Cutest. Dog. Ever. This dog isn't even in a real "costume" and I don't care. He is absolutely darling!

This is more like the attitude that I would get from Bella...

Have a happy Halloween!!

XOXO
