Dressing Your Dog for Halloween
Posted October 22nd, 2008 by dogdudeC’mon…admit it. You’re crazy about your dog, and with that honor you are desperately trying to openly embrace the fact that sometimes Fido needs Fashion. Nothing evidences this fact more than walking into a Petco or another pet store in October.
You’ve seen the end caps filled with bright, tiny little Halloween costumes, spooky witch hats, darling fairy costumes, some you may even envision looking good on yourself.
Why do people do this? Is it because we feel it is our duty to make our pets feel they are part of our family at any length? Is it the thrill of dressing your pup in an outfit that he normally wouldn’t sport walking down the street? Let’s face it. When is the last time you saw a dog with red horns on the top of his head? Or how about a bright orange pumpkin with four legs?
Yes, you guessed correct, Devil and pumpkin pet costumes are the most popular choices of Halloween 2008. Witches, Princesses and Angels aren’t too far behind.
According to a study Wal-Mart conducted in 2007, 7% of dog lovers purchase Halloween costumes for their furry four legged friends. The number is expected to be even higher this year.
I wonder who will hold the doggy bag when the pups go “barking” for Halloween Tricks or Treats?
