Dog O'Lanterns

People dress up their dogs for Halloween in our country. I know it's not big in Australia as Lady Jicky told me. But, here some pets get all dolled up! I think making a dog wear an alligator is just cruel though. :-)
You almost can't see the dog in this picture! He's there, honest!
Can this little Dachshund really balance all the weight of this costume.
Now I can see the Dachshund in this pumpkin.
I bet there is candy in that basket-- or did the dogs eat it all.
Yes, this beautiful Shepherd must have posed to get his picture carved in the pumpkin.
I see Mr. Beagle in this one. Someone is very talented!
And here's a happy..... um, is this a Weimeraner? I can tell a Pekingese, but some I am just not sure of.
This is a Schnauzer-- I know it!
It's a boxer-- I had one of these as a child. Loved that dog. He was great--
I've never had a poodle, but a friend has one that is a therapy dog to go into hospitals to cheer up patients.
It's a pug-- the Peke cousin! It's like a Peke without hair. Pugs are great dogs, too.
And some of my friends have Chihuahuas. One time, my husband saw one advertised in the classified section of the paper. He said, "It's a Hawaiian dog-- a "Chi-Hua-Hua". I laughed myself silly.
And last, but most important-- the Pekingese! I may have chosen a different costume-- you know, like a Fairy Princess. :-) But, this one sure is cute! I know Amee is dressing her dogs up for Halloween, so maybe we'll get some more pictures. Send them on!
