The time of year has come again where we spend an evening getting all dressed up just for free candy. Now, not only can we dress ourselves up, but our furry friends too. Though we can't give our dogs candy, it is still quite fun to dress up our dogs, especially since people are getting more and more creative every year.
My dog, Wrigley has dressed up as a devil before, emulating what my mom says is her inner persona. She has also dressed up as a bat. This seemed to go well, as she is black like a bat. But, with her body and snout she ended up looking more like a flying monkey.
Now, designers of such costumes are taking into consideration a dog's body shape into making more clever and funny costumes. Costumes such as miniature saddles and cowboys as if your dog was a horse are becoming quite popular. Taking advantage of your dog's body orientation and using their front legs to create a costume that appears to have your dog's head on the body of someone like Superman or Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
Some people think it's ridiculous to dress their pets up and others can't get enough of it. Some dogs may hate the costume and feel tormented while in such a contraption while others don't seem to care. For those that have finicky dogs but still want to have fun with their pets, try something simple like a collar with pumpkins. If you have a white or light colored dog, you can really have some fun on the cheap by drawing crazy eyebrows on them with eyeliner. Surprisingly, this provides hours of entertainment.
So this Halloween season, while you're making candy apples and carving pumpkins, don't leave your dog out of the all the fun.
