Halloween anyone? Who dresses their animals?

17 years ago

This year my dogs are going to be a princess and a dragon. Last year one was a blackbird and the other was a witch. Does anyone else buy/make Halloween costumes and Trick-or-Treat with their pets? What was the funniest/best/cutest/etc, costume you have ever seen?

I do. Oddly, my pug actually likes getting dressed up.

DH likes to dress up for Beggars Night. Last year he was Tom Brady - Brady jersey, Patriots sweatpants, and one of those gisnt knee braces. No one seemed to "get it". This year he's going to be a Viking - kilt, medieval-looking shirt, plastic Viking helmet with horns and blond braids, plastic sword. I'm going to wear my black woolen cloak over regular black clothes and my "Sabbat-go-to-meeting" hat that someone made for me - it's your standard pointy witch's hat festooned with fake flowers, lace, trailing bits of organza. It's amusing, to say the least. No Samhain party this year: I put my foot down and said that if the rest of the circle wants gatherings they can get off their @$$es and organize one, but I'm tired of chasing people and nagging them about whether they're coming, what they're bringing for potluck (so we don't have eight bags of chips and no actual food).

We had a quiet family evening honoring our loved ones who have passed on; we chose not to do anything with our church-group-equivalent this year because I was tired of being the one to do all the work while everyone else just came along for the ride, and no one stepped up to take the reins. Last night was Beggars Night in my city - they never do it on Halloween itself. I bought twice as much candy as I did last year and we still closed down an hour early. The weather was perfect for trick-or-treating: clear, no wind, not too cold (I remember too many years of trying to figure out Halloween costumes that would accomodate either longjohns and thick socks or winter coats, hats and mittens) which I think brought out more people for longer treks. I kept the dog quiet upstairs since all the traffic upsets him while DH manned the door. He loves to dress up - this year's theme was "the Vikings invade Scotland". LOL

Love it Sue!!! Jgbm: I wish I had the time to learn!! Maybe someday when I'm not up to my eyeballs in kid activities and work. As for Miley, if you knew my friend who had the nerve to dress up in it, you'd find it a riot too! It wasn't quite as revealing as the real one and she wore a miniskirt with it. I didn't think anyone would have the nerve to do it. As much as I can't stand Miley, for an adult only party it was hilarious.

George S is always a party pooper! How he manages to stay on at GMA is beyond me except for maybe his news reporting. I don't get it. He isn't chatty or funny or spontaneous at all. I missed most of GMA yesterday. Normally it's playing on a feed at work & I catch glimpses of it and The Chew at lunch but missed the Chew entirely. Saw pics of the Today show crowd and wasn't too impressed except for Roker & KLG. Now that I think about it didn't The Chew cast draw for each other's costumes a few weeks back?

Girlwithaspirin --- The pictures you have of your pugs should be on a calander . I never liked pugs - till I met one at the dog park and saw the pics of yours. I admit - I fell in love ~~~~~~~~ *wink*

Too adorable!!! I found that hats(possibly whole outfits)made for those decorative cement geese will fit cats. lol. we had a pumpkin hat on our cat for halloween one year and everyone wanted to take him home. :)This year I have 3 cats to dress up. One is all black, so I will keep a very close eye on him. Having our youngest son born on Oct. 30th is great for Costume Parties too! He'll be 4 this year. Can't wait to see all the costumes!!

I don't need to dress up my pet for Halloween. I have a solid black cat with evil eyes. She doesn't need a costume. I'll just have her on my lap when I pass out the candy.

I've been thinking that as I get older and older, I need less and less make-up and costume to be really scary for Halloween. Maybe this year I can just not comb my hair, and wear something from way back in my closet and look really frightening.

LAst year, I made a bee costume for myself. A couple of weeks ago, I found bee outfits that fit my cockers. I'm thinking about making my front porch into a beehive for trick ro treaters.

Darn, those cute little pugs!

Well, I had to order Tapazole for the kitty yesterday, and as long as I was there (Entirelypets.com) threw a couple of other things in the basket:

Devil horns for Katie, Pumpkin head for Monty, and the Witches pigtail hat for Dannie. We will be quite the sight on our Halloween walk :-)

I am thinking of making a hot dog costume for my pup. The girls dress her up all the time and think its adorable lol! Well she leaves the costumes they put her in alone, so what the heck huh!

We have to cats, petite little teeny things. And last year we dressed them up in the twins Halloween "onsies" from when they were babies and took pics! Needless to say I think we traumatized them and have a real aversion to anything orange now! LOL!
