For Halloween I think it would be cute to dress my dog as hot dog since she is a daschund mix and a cocker spaniel. Any ideas of where I can find costumes like that? Or how I can make one myself?

Ok, so I have the CUTEST idea for my babies this halloween! The little girl will be the Wicked Witch with a long black dress, and the boy will be the Tin Man! (both are my husbands faves and he will flip when he sees the costumes I’ve made. I’m wondering if there are any dyes or sprays out there that I could use on them to turn them green or silver. They are both very short coated and pale (italian greyhounds) I read the spray bottles of hair color at walmart and I didn’t see ANY warnings about pets, and they claim the color can simply be brushed out afterwards… any advice? Any warnings?
well I can’t believe you think I’m so horrible! I work in a petstore and I see dogs come in all the time with color faded on their tails or the tips of their ears. Get a life.

well, i have a pretty fat cat and i don’t know where to go to get a costume for him, and i was thinking about making him one but im not quite sure… Also i wanted to dress him up as a piece of candy corn or a pumpkin, and it might just be cheaper to make a costume so if you have any tips i will greatly appreciate it! thanks!!!!!

This is a Vegas costume party people! We’ve got the adults, 8/9 yr olds, and 6 and under children coming over. We have music, decor, food, tatoos, favors, projector and 100 inch screen, and TONS of movies/vid games (we’re HUGE on parties. last year we had a petting zoo! With llamas, rabbits, pythons, geese, etc.). Problem is the little ones and their attention span of a knat! What can we do for them to be entertained?

Note: Invited 40 kids! Most likely 20 from my sisters school will show.

So I just saw 27 Dresses, and I really thought the dog in that movie, the one that George has was SOOO adorable?!? Anyone else seen the movie and know what kind of breed that is?

We are doing the nutcracker next December, just six performances. My class has four Tapirs and a dozen Aardvarcks, who always come late.

I can only keep eight dancers for the production. Costumes are costly, tutus for Tapirs take a lot of matierial. Aardvarcks are hard to fit, and never keep their pinney’s straight.

Anyhow, my problem is reliability. I need to pick dancers that will perform well.

The aardvarcks are so stupid they can’t remember half the steps, so getting them through a full performance of Nutcracker is no easy task.

The Tapirs are so lardy butt, I had to put a scale in and weigh them one by one before each practice. Then they cry if I send them home and don’t let them dance. Well you try explaining to a Daddy Tapir why his little princess has a broken toe.

The aardvarcks are in better shape, physically, and more graceful when they remember their steps. The tapirs have all sorts of tapir holidays that interrupt my practice schedule, and they have excuses for being lardy butt, I might as well go back to university students and "The Dog ate my homework"

I have no idea how Walt Disney got those hippos to dance so beautifully in Fantasia — and to Figaro.

Anyhow only 8 can make the cut. Frankly I’m inclined to keep the Tapirs because they are a big draw at the box office what with being almost extinct and all. They may not be athletic, but they’re sort of Juno-esque, and they move well enough if they focus on what they’re doing.

What do you think?

Are there any dance masters/mistresses out there who can advise me?

We got our costumes yesterday. Rylee is a dinosaur (so cute!) and Bailey is a prisoner! (he wasn’t having any of it!!)
My boyfriend hates dog clothes, but I got him to agree since it’s a special occasion.
Most of you are wonderful people, and you are right, who cares about the rude ones… I guess it just rubs me the wrong way because I feel like I’m a pretty good person so when someone attacks me for no reason… it’s like, what the hell? and then I get angry, which is something I don’t like, and want to be rude right back, which is not me… So thanks all… and hugs and kisses

Where can I find like a pirate outfit for him?
