Am I silly for dressing my dogs up for Halloween?

[Shell Beau]

My Hank will be a construction worker. Hutch will be a dog head hanging out of a shark mouth (it will look like he got eaten by the shark). My Lolly girl will be Frankenstein. The costumes were only $5 and they are SOOO cute. I couldn't help myself!!


On edit, I do not treat my dogs as accessories!

[kmla]

1. Yes. Yes, you are.

:7

[jane_pippin]

2. Please tell me you'll post pictures of Sharkdog!

:rofl:

And yes, you are silly, but it's ok because dogs in clothes are
HI-larious! I'm always a supporter of that.

OH! And when you post them, can you do it all sneaky with a title like "Candygram." or "Flowers Ma'am." Please? :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

5. Oh, I'll definitely post them.

I can't wait to see them in the costumes!! :)

[jane_pippin]

7. Yay! Thank you. n/t

[billyskank]

3. ...

:crazy:


:hi:

[peekaloo]

4. No. I think it's funny.

I was flipping channels the other night and on one of those home video shows someone had dressed their dog in a scorpion costume. For some odd reason seeing that critter walk across the floor with eight legs dangling made me larf.

My sister takes her cat to sit on Santa's lap every year and has a picture taken to commemorate the event.

[Shell Beau]

6. I wish my dogs could go see Santa.

My Lolly girl would probably rip his fake beard off his face. :silly:

[southlandshari]

8. Nah.....

I think you're just silly for no real reason at all!

:P

[Shell Beau]

9. That is definitely the truth!!

:silly:

:hi:

[Heidi]

10. Who cares what anyone else thinks?

Shell Beau, if you're happy and if your boy and girl don't express torment or feelings of humiliation, then have fun with it. :thumbsup:

11. I hope you're not, because my dog is Elvis this year

Oh man, does he get that look on his face when I put the costume on him - "Why? Why God why? Why is she doing this to me?"

Pics coming soon!

[RubyDuby in GA]

14. Oh and my little one totally goes to see Santa every year....

This is Ruby a few years ago:

[Patiod]

31. Ruby needs a weiner costume

My mom used to dress our dachshund up each year in a little cape and witch hat, and he used to sit there very happily and let the little kids fuss over him while she (dressed in witch hat and costume) gave out candy.

[Shell Beau]

15. I saw an Elvis costume, but they didn't have the right

size for my baby!! Post the pics if you can b/c I am dying to see that!!

[RubyDuby in GA]

20. I also bought the Shark costume for Rusty, but

it doesn't quite fit him right. It's rough to get one to look decent on a mini-dachshund. But you have one too right?

[Shell Beau]

23. I have a miniature pinscher.

She looks a lot like a dachshund! Usually people crop their ears, but I loved her ears and I just couldn't do it!




I have had hard times finding costumes to fit her as well!! One of my big dogs will be going into that costume!

[RubyDuby in GA]

29. She's so cute

I saw that picture of her the other day and thought she was a doxie! The face structure is so similar.

I should have some pictures of Rusty as Elvis in a couple of days.

And I'm so glad you didn't do her ears. My brother has a boxer and he didn't do her ears either. She looks like the goober she really is :)

[Shell Beau]

30. One time a friend of mine said "that is the tallest

weenie dog I have ever seen". It was so funny b/c her face is almost identical to a dachshund. It is the body and ears that are so different. The ears give the dogs so much more expression!! I'm all for keeping the dog's ears in tact!!

[radwriter0555]

12. SHARKDOG??? I LOVE IT!

OHMYGAWD I love that idea!!!!

[Shell Beau]

16. It is super funny!!

[bearfan454]

13. Pics please nt

[Shell Beau]

18. When I take them, I will definitely post them!

[sundog]

17. yes

:P

[Shell Beau]

22. I take that as a compliment!!

:P

:silly: :hi:

[benburch]

19. We are dressing Bogie as a weiner in a bun... nt

[Shell Beau]

21. Hee hee hee!! Cute! Post the pics when/if you take any!!

[benburch]

28. Assuming we get the costume done!

He wiggles a lot. Makes costuming him hard!.

[Patiod]

32. Scroll up for a sample photo

I keep trying to convince my mother to dress her current dachshund as a weiner in a bun, or in her can as a "Frank" in a bun (his name is Frankie)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

24. Devil dogs, report!

[Shell Beau]

26. Soooo cute!

:)

[Fleshdancer]

25. NO! BTW, funniest dog costume ever:

My parents had a fawn pug and one year they put a pearl necklace on her and told everyone she was Barbara Bush.

:rofl:

It would have been funnier if she was a mean, nasty dog but she was a sweet pug...she was spoiled though so that helped.

[Shell Beau]

27. Somehow I can picture that perfectly!!

:rofl: That is a good one!

[LSK]

33. you are always silly

Sorry, I couldnt resist.

:P

[Shell Beau]

34. Yes I am! I am a silly girl!!

:silly:


:)

[Taverner]

35. Yes. You are silly. Now fetch me some gruel.

And don't put so much rat in it this time!

:silly:

[Shell Beau]

38. I should go by Silly Shell instead of Shell Beau!

[no name no slogan]

36. As long as they look like this crew

[Shell Beau]

37. OMG! That is hilarious!!

Ha ha ha! And super cute!

[miss_kitty]

39. The neighbour who lent me the Bee costume

bought Stell a bat costume for Hallowe'en!



Bee-autiful Stella (OK she's a hata right here)

[Shell Beau]

40. Cute!! My Lolly girl was a bat a couple of years ago.

I'll have to scan that pic when I scan the others!!

[Mutley]

41. No, that doesn't make you silly.

Dressing dogs up in very humerous! I would do it, but my dogs would eat the costume! :cry:

[amerikat]

42. halloween dog pics

found these on the internets.

[Shell Beau]

43. Those are too funny!

:rofl:

[RubyDuby in GA]

47. These are from previous years' Howl-O-Weenie picnics

They have done this fundraiser for the past couple of years for a great rescue organization DARE - Dachshund Adoption and Rescue (www.daretorescue.com )
The Clydesdales:

The Madame:

The Cowgirl:

(And yes, this guy's shirt says "My Weiner Does Tricks")
The Angel:


Aren't they just the cutest things?

[MuseRider]

44. Why not?

I have some friends who took their first child to a Halloween party when she was a year old. They put her in yellow footie pajamas and put a leash on her and called her Old Yeller. Why not your dogs too?

Love the shark idea.

[MissMillie]

45. not silly

MEAN!

[Shell Beau]

46. My little one loves putting on sweaters and such. She

doesn't have a problem with costumes. The other 2, I am not sure about. But if they are uncomfortable, I will certainly take the costume off. I just want to take a quick picture and I'll be satisfied. Why is it mean?

[zanne]

48. I love seeing dog costumes on Halloween!

Some people bring their dogs Trick-or-Treating with them around here. I even buy a box of dog biscuits for that day. My favorites last year were a "golden" pirate and a poodle cheerleader.

[Angry Girl]

49. Yes, yes, you so totally are! :-) Here are more Halloween dogs...

And because I, erm, "borrowed" the pic from NoNags.com, I would like to plug them. But that's easy, because they're my all-time favorite site for FREE software! http://www.nonags.com/nonags/index.html

More funny pics here: http://www.nonags.com/nonags/fp1.html

[ghostsofgiants]

50. At least you don't dress them up on a regular basis like some people do...

And besides, silliness is part of the fun of Halloween.
