My cat, Nero’s favorite toy happens to be a fishing rod with a stuffed mouse as the lure, so I was looking through my scrap fabric and I found a discarded shirt that was made of strange fabric that looked a little like scales. I decided right then and there that I should turn him … Read more
Since my rescue dog “Pixel” does NOT like to dress up for Halloween, I normally let him off the hook. Every year (he’s 6 now) we go to the Dog-O-Ween contest so that he can play with all of the other dogs, and mommy can see all the cool costumes. This year I had an … Read more
My one year old son loves airplanes and my father is a pilot, so I began the task of brainstorming a pet Halloween costume that would include an airplane. My dog, Santo, is black and white so it hit me one day that I should make a costume that revolves around the infamous “dogfight” against … Read more
This is my kitty Nimrod dressed up in a sock monkey cat costume. I will say she is quite the good sport when it comes to getting dressed up, albeit a bit annoyed at the idea of having her tail inside the costume tail. I made this costume by hand (no sewing machine). I only … Read more
I always dress up my dog Oscar for Halloween! He loves it! This July, I got a second dog, Mya. So for Halloween this year, I wanted them to go as a paired couple. I didn’t really see much in the stores for “coupled” dog costumes. So, I decided to make my own. A few … Read more
This is Priss Bell. She was already black and white spotted like a cow, so we just added a cowbell around her neck and made up a little sign that says eat more chicken. We made some foam horns to go on her head and used elastic pinned together to hold them on. Every time … Read more
Pablo is sporting our tribute costume to the late great Bob Marley! He is wearing a very colorful tie dyed tee shirt, a Rasta style hat complete with dreadlocks, (not naturally his of course!), his bling is a simple blend of Mardi Gras beads and of course some sky blue 60’s era shades!
This year I decided to dress up my five-year old Chinese crested/chihuahua mix as Edward Scissorhands/Scissorpaws. He is used to wearing clothes so it was easy for me to make him this costume, since he is tolerant. I first collected my materials: Leather, Electrical tape (black), Belts, Buckles, Glue gun, Sewing Kit, and Key Chain … Read more
These are my adopted retired racing greyhounds, Nattie and Whompus. They’re two reunited litter-mates who raced at different tracks around the country for 3 years before we had the pleasure of being able to adopt them both as our first dogs ever. Despite being 4 years old, they have never lived in a home before, … Read more
Our family and friends absolutely loved the costumes – especially since they were very kid-friendly this year. Last year, we dressed our German Shepherd (Bailey) up as a martini (using an e-collar for the martini glass and green balls and red felt for the olives), but random strangers posted her photo up on Reddit and … Read more
Well, my boyfriend is going as a chainsaw wielding Nazi clown and I couldn’t think of anything I could dress up as that would match that, so I had to think what I could go as by myself. Then I realized I didn’t have to be by myself, I have a dog that could dress … Read more
We own danes and horses and everyone teases us we keep small horses in our house. So it was only natural we created a race horse/jockey duo for Halloween! I bought silk blends and some faux leather at Joannes Fabric Store and got creative to come up with a pattern! I started with a dish … Read more
