Will you be getting costumes for yourself and your pets on Halloween?
Halloween was one such BIG occasion where we had a lot of fun second guessing ourselves as to which egreetings site will make the wackiest cards. Well, we did come up with some wild ideas, and till date they remain some of my best creative forays in any of the professions that I have dabbled with.
Since then, I have been to the US and watched this festival being celebrated first hand. Boy! it is so much more fun than we ever thought. In fact, one of my most enduring memories of Halloween remains Callie, an Australian sheepdog that belonged to my neighbor. She made it a point to dress her up on Halloween, and made sure she looked even cuter than she actually looked. I will never forget Callie in her green and burgundy Halloween costume. Any misgivings I had about dogs being tortured by such frivolous acts of humans vaporized that day. Callie was having fun – and I know that because I know my dogs.
Which brings me to the question, will you be dressing up your dog this Halloween? There are some super cool places out there where you can buy pet costumes that are not just comfy, but apt for the occasion and easy on the pocket. I would, if I could, but Halloween is not a rage here in India so my dogs will have to wait for a while. But if someday it catches on, I will be the first to buy my dogs something to have fun with. For now, I can live with this…

Despite the fact that not too many animals enjoy being dressed up, pet costumes are getting more popular all the time. I have to admit it’s pretty cute, but once a year is probably plenty of that type of fun for a dog or cat. They just like to be naked!

It is fun to watch how they accept their costumes, or react to it. One of my dogs, for example, is very well mannered and graceful about it – almost queenly. For another one the story is just the opposite. No matter what I put on him, even if it is a blanket in the winter, I will come back to see him lying on it as if it is a cushion.:)

OMG!
I love this subject and even did a post on it. You can see it HERE: http://candlesandcrafts.blogspot.com/2008/08/top-10-cutest-pets-in-costume.html .
I think most of the pets really enjoy getting dressed up, but as you can see in some of the pics, (the greyhound especially) I think they are humiliated sometimes….LOL
But it is really cute, and only done for fun!
