Halloween is nearly here, so move quickly to get your little monster properly outfitted! It’s not often that it’s societally validated for pups and kitties, as well as their owners, to voice their creativity by dressing up as a stick of butter, a miniature pharaoh (pictured below) or a tiny bride and groom. Hopefully these patient pets will enjoy the fruits of their labors in the form of snagged jelly beans from unaware trick-or-treaters.

Wow, super cute, too bad our cat will not put up with any type of clothing, he's a staunch nudist.

I once crocheted a little sweater for my cat. He absolutely hated it and it was worn for a total of about 7 seconds. These pets photographed are patient. Super cute!

Oh My Goodnes.,. I have to say, I am not a fan of dressing pets up. But this made me laugh out loud. Scared my sleeping cat.. And then I showed her the pictures and threatened her with something similar. She took off for the basement. Smart kitty. snicker.. Cute Stuff.

CUTE CUTE CUTE SHARK CATS AND BUMBLE BEE DOGS AND GAGA POOCHES!!! And may I add that "no animals were hurt or killed to make me laugh out loud"-so many of these beautiful animals look patient and relaxed-ok maybe a few looked a bit annoyed or maybe they are thinking---oh no, no no I will not wear that! no, I will not wear those bubbles for fashion sake!!!!!! Adorable and obviously very loving owners must pamper and treat their babies to get such adorable looking photos!!!!

the little sailor outfit is modeled by a cat who looks exactly like my "stella"...who i'm afraid of...and if i remember my "animal planet" that look & the way her ears are cocked are indications of "i'm sooo frickin' over this!" just before she tried to dismember me. ...otherwise the others look so cute and under kitty GHP...still legal in most states.

That is tooooo much! I wasn't going to, but I've got to dress Joey up this Halloween. Here in New Orleans, we're all about costumes. Every year at Mardi Gras, there is a special costume parade just for dogs called "Barkus". People spend hundreds of dollars on dog costumes. We also have a doggy costume shop called "Chihuahua GaGa". Perhaps there is a business opportunity there for some talented "Petsians"!
