    Anyone else dress up your pets for Halloween?

    Here's Ms. Mandy as a monkey last year for Halloween. Our other dog Tia was a lady bug but she ripped up the costume before we could take pics. I'm not sure what they're going to be this year....  I thought it would be funny to dress up Mandy as a hot dog since she's half dachshund. Hmm...

    EDIT: having picture problems... don't mind me!

    I never got into dressing up my dog.  I am all for a jaunty bandana or bow, but I can't bring myself to decorate him beyond that.

    Aw your dog it so cute!

    There is a Halloween pet parade in a town near mine that our e-pic photographer is trying to talk us into doing (but I doubt we will). If we would I would want to dress them up as Tinker Bell and Peter Pan since our little girl is half the size of her brother. It would be too cute and "fit" them.

    We're not really dressing him up in a Halloween costume, persay. We decided he's just going to be an Aggie fan for Halloween:

    My cats were zero from Nightmare before Christmas and Spider Kitty

    Here they are: Zero (yup his name is Zero--we're huge Tim Burton fans) and Scraps (the gray one)

    They are Link from Legend of Zelda and Navi (the annoying fairy that follows you around and beeps to tell you "directions." ;P)  this Halloween. But, I haven't gotten a chance to take pictures..

    Sad day though--they didn't place at the Petsmart halloween contest tonight! Like last year--Zero won first with his cuteness.

    @ejs- seriously, love your cats. Especially the one with the yellow/amber eyes!

    I love dressing Stew up. He doesn't love stuff on his head so that always gets pulled off quick, but he doesn't seem to mind wearing stuff on his body at all. Last year he was a rooster. Unfortunately I never took a good picture of him in the full costume. The one below is without the head and the costume is kind of jumbled up. The second two I've posted before but I'll just go ahead and post again :) This year, stew is a banana. I've already decided that next year he will be his nemesis: the squirrel!

    We just got our minpin in July, so no costume pics yet :(  But this year he's going as Count Dogula!  It will go perfectly with his adorable huge ears!

    @floridabeachbride - I had an albino ferret named Zero, he looked just LIKE the dog on NBC!! I'm a huge Tim Burton fan too, I went as Sally for halloween the year the movie came out. Your kitties are sooo cute!

    I don't have any pets (other than an a-hole fish named Dwight Schrute) but I love seeing all the pets in costumes!

    thanks =]. last year they totally would have fit within the ghost costume, head to toe, but they had ringworm so i didn't want to deal with that. Oh well!

    omigosh i love pets in costumes. this just makes my day =] I saw the cutest dog costume in an email last week--it was a big stuffed aligator around his body and it looked like it was eating the dog. Hilarious! i can't wait to have a dog and dress him up =]

    Last year (year before?) DH's mom dressed her rottweiler up as Batman and the sister dog was a princess. Big mean rottie looking dog with a tiara =]

    I've been dying for this costume and lucked out a few days after Halloween last year (got it for $4).  Mr. Bubblegums loves wearing it......can you tell?!?  And the other picture Booms like, 'dude, what the hell is she doing to you now?"

    My dog loves the lobster toy at Target and I think she'd look cute in the lobster costume (like the cute pooch above).

    @firemuffy, my dog (the one in my icon) always eats everything too - she chewed off her winter sweater last year! But our other pibble LOVES to wear clothes!

    Unfortunately, they don't make nearly enough Halloween costumes for dogs of larger proportions!

    @sage-- I know what you mean about "dogs of larger proportions". My mom likes to say her pug (pictured above in bee suit) is "full figured" and she has been known to buy costumes and custom tailor them with elastic straps and darts to make them fit the dog. It's really kind of sick ;)

    Our cat Case hated his costume:

     

    But he tolerated just the neck leaves :)
