Dog
Costumes
Man AND Womans Best, and
most cooperative (if treated right), Friend. This
Category is VERY entertaining to me..and I hope it is to YOU
also. There are the old style Dog Costumes, the
ones where we recognise that these beasts have 4, not 2, legs that they
walk on. Now you'll see costumes that , I SWEAR , makes a Dog look like
a very short human is walking right toward you.
Well.....Instead of trying to make sense out of what I just typed
here...let's just take a look at what is available in the Online
Stores. You'll soon understand what I mean. Here's a place that has
Doggie Duds like you won't BELIEVE!
Whether you go with the older style
Dog Costume or the newer one...the point is to
HAVE FUN! I got VERY lucky just a few days
ago and I MUST say THANX to Jackie for making my day! (or
week? or month?). Jackie sent me PICTURES she took at the Easter Parade
in her area. ...and...You GUESSED it! : DOGS were dressed for
the Occasion! Now I will share the photos with you here. (I
thought to put them on the "Easter" Page but considering that Easter is
OVER now ...I just don't think many people will be visiting that page
until next year and these are just TOO CUTE to hide away like that so
HERE WE GO!
I have done some research, and have found that EASTER is, in
fact, one(mayhap the ONLY one) of the "occasions" for having Dressed-up
Pet affairs..Like parades or contests at a local park. Be sure to
check it out in your area.

Julia's owner Traci .
Kids LOVE this
stuff too so get THEM involved! In Fact, Your Dog
may even be able to wear some of your sons shirts from when he
was 5 ! Saying this, it's a lot of fun creating a Dog Costume at home
out of old clothing and such. As a matter of fact, some time ago I was
asked WHERE a person might find a "Confederate Soldier" costume for a
middle sized dog. Searching all of the stores and wherehouses that I
have access to I could NOT find this particular costume for a pet. The
best idea I could come up with was to purchase a inexpensive
Confederate Soldier" Costume for either an adult or child (depending
upon the size of the dog) and then do whatever adjustments would be
necessary to fit the Jacket, and possibly the cap, to the dog. It
would, of course, be helpful if somebody in your family were helpful as
a seamstress, However, using ones imagination and some scissors ,
velcro or glue...you may just surprise yourself at just what a
great Confederate Dog Soldier you come up with. (The obvious
thing when making pet Costumes, aside from "comfort" of fit of course,
is to leave the rear-end and underside free of obstruction to consider
unscheduled potty breaks.) Check out the OnLine stores for Sewing
Materials or Crafting Materials to assist you in a Homemade Pet Costume
Project. If you simply don't have the time nor
inclination to Hand-make a costume for Hilde or Bailey (your
Dog)..do it the easy and trouble free way and shop Online through one
of the links I have for you here. 
Please don't
forget that
I'd dearly LOVE to have pictures of your pet in Costume. Send-in info
is on "Pet Costumes" page...and Thank you in
advance!!
