Brokeback Alfred & Howl-Oween...

Yes, I am one of those people... those people who dress up their pets. I do it on Halloween only, and my reasoning (rationalization) is that it is once a year, it is totally fun, and Alfie is so darn cute, who can resist?

Alfie is four now, and I will post pics for Halloween 2011 soon; in the meantime, here is a look back to the first three years....

Year One, Superdog... Alfie was six months old, and all of six pounds (he is just over 16 pounds all grown up)... the Lycra costume was so small it looked like it would squeeze a hamster. And yes the lesson even then was if he is looking at treats he will play along, otherwise no dice...


Year Two, Alfie as a pumpkin (the orange sweater has a Jack-O-Lantern face on the back)... it was easy as was a sweater, and I had him playing in the off-leash park to take the pics. And yes treats were involved...


Last year, Cowboy Alfred who was soon dubbed Village People Alfred, and ultimately titled Brokeback Alfred. He didn't mind the bandana, the hat was not such a hit. Until I started feeding him cheddar cheese, then he was a happy little furball and the hat was not an issue at all...

Do you dress up your pets for Halloween? Buy them birthday and Hannukah/Christmas presents? Treat them like kids? It can't be just me....
