Howlin' Cute Critters BOOF!

This one cracks me up every time. I'd like to credit properly, as well as other pics that showed up without info.

Charlie Chaplin and friend

Big Mac, possibly a.k.a. Mad Boston (at dis-ease, doesn't look too happy does he?)
Note all detail - horns, hooves, bell, tail, udder - OK, that one's hard to miss.

More Halloweenie Bostons!

Would be pretty dang spooky waking up on an operating table to those eyes. Although, the costume's not actually all that far-fetched. Sasha regularly acts as nursemaid, assisting Helen with all kinds of wild baby rescues.

Wide variety of costumes and accessories, lots for people too

Truly amazing what animals will put up with to humor us.

Superman, a.k.a. Phoenix,

Tootsie as Snoop Doggie Dog,

small and large ballerinas ...

All were contestants during a party hosted by Hawk Ridge Feed & Pet Supply, Lake St. Louis.

Note hock laces, and you can almost see ribbon braided in tail. Mane was also festooned.

Pigtail Macaque Adam, 2.5 months old

Little Miss Dassie is a special guest here. She's a puppy mill rescue and was in pretty bad shape. Her new young man Brent kept telling her, "We will make you feel better." Certainly looks like he kept that promise.

This handsome fellow lives with Anthony Buccino, author of many delightful dog tales. Find links and a very silly Easter bunny ears pic here: http://www.ramblinground.com/zamboni.html

One of Zamboni's predecessors, Libby, is featured on the Lotsa Libbys page:  http://members.aol.com/Libbyk9/lotsalibbyslibbyslib.index.htm - includes links to more Buccino essays.

Hobo Bobo

Scoopy as the werewolf

Caught him mid-shake - one ear straight out, the other vertical

Count Pigula

From: http://vetmedicine.about.com/library/weekly/aa100600a.htm

He looks so cute in his little red suit ...

• While viewed as fun and adorable for some pet owners, caution is advised when putting a costume on a pet. A pet in costume should NEVER be left unsupervised.
• Tight elastics on the costumes can get lost in the pet's hair, potentially causing owners to overlook them, leading to swelling and pain in the area of the elastic.
• Some pets, if left alone in costume, may chew it up and ingest it. This could cause intestinal obstruction if more than small shreds of material are consumed.
• If the costumed pet escapes or is frightened away, the costume could entangle the pet on trees, fences, etc.

  New danger alert

  From a list post: Cat hospitalized after eating fake spider web. Note mentioned a keep away from small children warning on the package. Take that as a caution for any decoration or toy.

  Keep in mind ...

  Two-legged critters operating in sugar rush mode on top of all the other excitement are trouble just waiting to happen. Even kids who know better might forget sharing goodies with furry pals is a huge no-no.

If you happen to be planning a cat costume, may I suggest a Kitty Litter Cake as an accessory. The following is an ancient page from Diary of a Mad Politically Incorrect Cook: http://members.aol.com/MsAtte2ude/happy4th.index.html.

Miss Liberty took over editorial for her holiday which was right after I'd made the cake for a kitty shower: http://members.aol.com/Libbyk9/busterparty.index.html

I trust that's all clear as mud now. If aol links don't work, which is quite likely, you might find the cake recipe here: http://members.tripod.com/~MemphisJan/litter.html
