Halloween Costume Ideas/Pictures please?!?!?

[SwissysRock]

Hey all,

This will be Riley's 1st Halloween with us and I'd LOVE to dress him up but I have no idea as what!  Any ideas/suggestions for big dog costumes?  PS...I'd love to see some of your furbaby's past Halloween pictures!

I was thinking of a few ideas for Spike this is his first Hallows eve Spike does not seem to mind having things put on him as long as it is not in his eyes.
1. dress him up like Scooby pretty easy just a aqua collar and a Scooby tag but I was going to dress up like Daphne.
2. Get a saddle and bridle and me dress up like a cowgirl
3. A ballerina (but Pierre has vetoed that idea)
4. A prisoner with the stiped shirt and a plastic ball and chain. and me as a guard
5. old lady in a moo-moo like Scooby had on in the second Scooby movie.

As you can see Halloween is my favorite holiday even before Christmas. I am 26 and still love to dress up even if it is just to had out candy.
I'm just a big kid!

This will be Kiah's first Halloween also. I was saying to my hubby just the other that we need to start thinking about costumes and then I saw this post. What a great idea!

I was going to dress my daughter & son as Jessie & Woody from the movie Toy Story & dress Samson as the horse Bullseye...Now that I have two Pyrs, my daughter is going to be Little Bo Peep, the dogs are going to be sheep & my son is going as The Big Bad Wolf...lol!

Thanks SPIKESMOMMY, those are some great ideas.  I never thought to have matching costumes, but now I'm definitely doing that!  Just gotta work on Riley not getting so excited every time the doorbell rings and scaring the crap outta little kids!  LOL.

That's such a cute idea gyps. My daughter's real big into Dora. Maybe I can dress Kiah up has a monkey. Anyone got any ideas?

GYPS! I love it! OMG! I was Little Bo Peep last year, and Mark was my sheep! hehehee! He was so cute! If I can find a pic somewhere, I'll post it.

We've never dressed Cabeza up for Halloween. I don't know why....I guess its cuz I always have to go somewhere that he can't go on Halloween. Maybe I'll do it this year.

Wow for a bunch of poster's who love to see pictures, I have only seen ONE doggy with a costume on - C'mon lets see some more!!!

I want to dress Lady up as a Ladybug (her nick name)

Grace...I'm not sure I can find a rocket suit.

Last year we tried to dress zoey up as a little devil, but she grew out of it in the weeks between buying it and Halloween 

This year we probably won't do a Halloween costume unless there is a dog-friendly halloween event happening around here.

Hmmmm, we loved to dress Cabo up for Halloween and he had a super-high tolerance for it.  Don't think I have any pictures, though.  For his last Halloween, he was a wizard.   

I have only dressed Ranger up once and he hated it so badly that I think the only thing he is going to dress up as this year is the big tan and white monster he normally is.  He certainly won't be going out of the house in this...

[GrumpyBunny]

LOL!  I just looked at that picture again after I posted it, and look how much he hates me right then.  Look at his eyes.  He is totally sending me a death ray...   

[SwissysRock]

What a GREAT shot!!!   

[GrumpyBunny]

LOL Marsi!!!  Its a good things dogs can't talk.  I'd hate to hear what Ranger was muttering in that picture!!!

I KNOW!  I had never noticed how psychotic he looks there. The tiara ain't helping, either...

I always wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween and take Cabo with me as my wolf.  I think that is a cute idea if you are going somewhere you can take the doggy, or for answering the door. 

I love Halloween - it is my favorite holiday.  When we lived in Michigan, Halloween was HUGE in our neighborhood - when my parents lived near us, one year they had almost 500 kids.  Everyone got really into it and would sit outside all night long in costumes and such.  Here in my neighborhood in San Diego, it is just kinda meh....   We dressed up last year, and the neighbors just looked as us as if to say "Whatever, freaks!" 

So, please people, dress up your dogs in elaborate costumes.  Do it for those of us that can't!

Oh Jenn, that is so funny!  Yeah, Halloween in Dearborn rocked.  The place I worked, the Henry Ford, had the best Halloween night events ever, including a person in a Headless Horseman costume that would ride through the fields on a giant black Percheron, chasing Ichabod Crane. 

My co-worker at Sea World once dressed up for Halloween dress-up day there, and they called an unexpected staff meeting, to which he was required to go.  Everyone else in the meeting was in a suit and tie, and he was dressed like Abraham Lincoln, complete with fake cardboard beard and mole.   

OMG, I just had the mental image of Kizmet in a little puppy costume!   You simply MUST dress him up for his first Halloween!
