These Costume Ideas Are for the Dogs

Dog Halloween Costume

Dog Halloween Costume

As if we don’t sound stupid enough speaking some bizarro baby language to our pets, many of us also dress our four-legged friends up in “human” clothing.  Whether you partake in the odd behavior year round, or are just dipping your toe in the crazy water on Halloween, here are a few dog costume ideas.

ANOTHER BREED. They always say to “shake what your mama gave you!”  Take advantage of the four legs and wagging tail that your dog already has and dress him up like another breed.  Have you ever seen a Rottweiler dressed as a Chihuahua or a lab doubling as a Maltese?  Exactly!  That’s why it’ll be sure to get some laughs.

THE MAILMAN: Your pooch is territorial, that’s why he hates the strange uniformed government worker who approaches your house (HIS house) on a daily basis.  Turn the tides!  You and your revelers will enjoy the irony as Fido trots around looking like the person he hates!

February 5th, 2010

Froggy Doggy CostumeMaybe your sweetheart wasn’t super creative last year.  Or maybe that sweetheart isn’t around at all anymore.  But good old Rover or your faithful Kitty is always there when you need them.  Pass over Valentine’s this year and set aside February 20 to have a date with your pet.  Celebrate the official “Love Your Pet Day.”

Plan a romantic (and possibly chilly) walk with your favorite pet.  Did you know you can even get coats and leashes for rabbits now?  Seriously.  Even Thumper can get in on the cardio action with a stroll (or hop) in the park.

Costume Countdown Day 31: Going to the Dogs

October 31st, 2009

The end is here! 31 days of showcasing costumes. 31 days of counting down to Halloween. 31 days of men’s costumes, women’s costumes, do-it-yourself costumes, costumes for kids, and costumes for teens. So why not end it all with one type of costume we haven’t shown yet.

Fluffy Bunny Dog Costume

DOGGY COSTUMES!

My friend’s dog, Sasha, was an excited volunteer for this Fluffy Bunny doggy costume. Can’t you just see it in his eyes? He’s loving it.

Dress your pup up and take him or her out for some trick-or-treating fun.

The First Dog has Been Chosen… Now about the Costume

February 27th, 2009

According to the headlines, Obama and his family have chosen their dog.  I hadn’t even seen a Portuguese Water Dog before, so here’s a pic for people like me.

I'm cute, but I need a Costume!

While their dog is a puppy, they will have lots of options for dressing up the pooch.  As the dog grows older, however, he or she may not be too keen on it.  Of ccourse, we hope the Obama family brings their dog to Santa Barbara for the annual Big Dog Parade held every year, but we know that has about a one in a 3trillion chance of happening.

Check out the Dog Costumes we have and vote on which one you think might be best for the new First Pooch.

Holidays from Your Pets Point of View

December 21st, 2008
The holidays? Oh, yeah, I love the holidays. My person brings a tree in the house, which is weird because when I bring stuff in from outside, I get in trouble. Anyway, I love the tree. I sniff it and, when she’s not looking, I pee on it – don’t tell her that part. I don’t understand all of the traditions of Christmas, but I like the one where she puts a water bowl under the tree for me. Very tasty. I like all the extra yummy foods too. I sort of help out with the cooking. It’s my job to look for falling crumbs or drops. But my favorite part of the holidays are the fun outfits I get to wear. I’m sort of a skinny girl, and I get a bit chilly in the winter. I just love my warm and, in case you didn’t notice, very sexy, Santa Paws outfit. It keeps me all cozy. And I am the best dressed dog on the block, if I don’t say so myself.
The holidays? You must be kidding. Bah-humbug, the whole thing is a waste of time, if you ask me. That freaky little dog gets all excited and bounces around non-stop. Why can’t she just settle down and act mature like me? Okay, I’ll admit it, there are two things I like about Christmas. I always get a special can of cat food. That is something I look forward to all year. And I get to look all intimidating in this hat. I pretend not to like it, but I do. I look pretty good huh?
