My wife made the squirrel costume. The tail was really quite ingenious.

Man card, shman card. They got dog biscuits when they went trick or treating.

How dare you humiliate your dog, with its sensitive skin and desire to please you. It would much rather be licking its genitals in the front yard for all to see.

My wife thought we should dress up Shenandoah as an angel, if we could get my daughter to dress up as a devil cat. But Kira won't tolerate anything on her face or head (sensory issues), so we stayed at home as usual. She just has no interest in wearing a costume. Halloween for us is giving out candy to the neighborhood kids, LOL.

The one time I put a rain jacket on Shenandoah to take her for a walk in the rain she kept stopping every few feet and looking back at me with a forlorn "Really? Come ON, Man!!" expression on her face. She looked so depressed that I took her back to the house and took the coat off even though it was pouring rain, and she bowed several times for me and was so thrilled for the walk that I've never tried it again. She's half poodle, which is a water dog, and doesn't mind getting wet.

She's not happy about wearing her service dog harness either, but she gets that it's part of her job and accepts it gracefully, if slightly glumly.

When it gets "cold" outside, our dog has a jacket she wears. She loves it. I don't think she can tell the difference between her jacket and the lady bug costume she wore last night. She made no attempts to remove it, and she greeted all the trick-or-treaters as though she wasn't wearing anything. She complained only when I took it off.

Considering that parents dress their little kids in outlandish costumes that make us laugh, I'm not seeing much difference. I'm sure the dog isn't going to suffer any deep, lasting psychological damage over being part of the fun on Halloween.

The writer of that sad piece is just projecting his/her own emotions onto the dog.

r..i..g..h..t.....

or maybe if they have to send their dog to self esteem classes because of the trauma of being dressed up for a few minutes at Halloween...THEN they'll understand the monstrous wrong they've committed!... i know... let's make them dress their children up as pirates or maybe superman or ballerinas at halloween... that'll teach them!....yeah...

see how they like THAT!

Thank you for providing some win to what is otherwise a giant fail thread.

The only acceptable pet costume is reindeer horns on a dog a la Grinch Who Stole Christmas!
