Dog-in-Costume Absurdity (warning - pic heavy post)
 

Yes, these are all actual Halloween costumes you can buy for your dog. Crazy, right?

(that dog looks TERRIFIED...like "Really? You are taking a picture of me in this costume? Really?)

(anyone else thinks that dog looks just about ready to go for the throat?)

(this comes from a whole collection - so if Princess Leia dog is more your style, or Darth Vader dog, you're covered).

I have one of these dogs, and they smile like that all the time! It is their way to show they are happy.

Yes I kinda agree that dog costumes are silly, but I dunno... I didnt buy one for my dog but would if I saw a good one. I did get her a halloween shirt to answer the door with tho.

Some people do go too far... buts its all in good fun. Thanks for sharing, i think these are cute!

Its absurd-cute.

see my keiko smiles like that too (any excuse to post a pic of her, haha)

But her eyes are different than the tiki dog! She actually looks like she's smiling...he actually looks like he's a little crazy.

haha thats true, he probably is! lol - he could be in a devil costume

It would be absurd....
Except I just bought the princess one for my Pit Bull yesterday on Ebay.
$12.00 and it matches my 2 legged daughter's costume.
I love it!
I guess it takes a real dog lover to understand....

I'm a dog lover and not anti-costume. Something about these pictures just struck me as funny...especially the expressions on the dogs faces, more than the costumes themselves.

People dressing up their dogs this year should post pics here! I want to see!

Here's the one for my pooch (ordered in a large, of course)

And the one for my daughter:

Oh, they DO match. Thats freaking adorable!

Now I really want to dress my dog up... but there is no where good around here to get dog costumes and a little late to order off the net. Plus, we are staying home this year, haha

you don't have a party city near you courtnie???

I saw some pretty cute dog ones there last night.

never even heard of party city... we have a patti's party palace tho... never really been there

yah they have hardly anything and nothing good...

i ordered her one of these

should have it very soon and some of the money went to a boston terrier resuce!

that is so freakin cute!!!

ok, i will admit that SOME of these are cute - but we were talking about this at work - everyone i work with either has a dog or a cat...and Melissa, the dog lover - her favorite quote - whenever she sees costumes on dogs - and i must say i agree...
"This is why dogs bite people"...

although - admittedly, SOME are cute...

Well, I don't have any dogs (yet), but we are working on our ferrets' costumes........here is Feesha in her angel costume, we now have a ladybug one for Nala but haven't been able to get pics yet. We have 2 boys also, but we are not sure what to dress them up as.

Sorry it's kinda dark, took it in a hurry!

hmmmmmm i wonder if that will fit my Bunbun...... she's only a bit bigger than a large guinnea pig....

lol I'm gonna see if i can find her a halloween costume...hmmmmmmmmmm :D

I love pets in costumes! most pets don't seem to mind.... too much.... some don't even seem to know they are wearing them lol.

Very cute.

Now trying doing that to a cat.

It's funny to try and dress up a cat. It's so obvious by the expression on their face that they are planning to hurt someone for it.

For some cute cat pictures go to http://stuffonmycat.com

I got a pic of my old hampster...somewhere. I created a small red Santa hat and taped it to his head, then held him in my hand with a red cloth draped over him and snapped with the other hand. No animal is too small. LOL

Here's my absurity!

You guys have the worlds cutest pets!

I have two cats. I wouldn't dress them up, unless in planned on losing an eye. Possibly a limb.

Holy crap, Keiko is an obnoxiously adorable Boston! I love her jammies!

The thing about pets in costumes is that they have to have practically no dignity to begin with. Funny-looking dog + costume = hilarity! Like these guys:

same here...
tried it once, just with little pet hat-things, and figure out REAL quick that they weren't gonna put up with it. i should've known better... they just let me live here. :p
