Pet Halloween Costumes

Two years ago, Halloween was tons of fun. My wife and I were finally in a Seattle neighborhood filled with friendly families. There were plenty of kids ringing our doorbell that night, but I quickly discovered the “trick or treat” custom in the Pacific Northwest is different than the one I grew up with.

When I was a kid in Iowa, you had to tell a joke to the host before you could get candy from them. Not so in other places, apparently. What are your local Halloween traditions?

The last time Ponzi and I dressed up for Halloween, Wicket and Pixie were forced to play along:

 

Earlier this week, Ponzi purchaseed Halloween costumes for the four of us. She’ll be Cleopatra, I’ll be Marc Antony. As for the two dogs, well…

Princess Pixie and Wicket Vader (02)

They stood perfectly still for this photo, and if you don’t believe me - just watch this video. Minutes after this was filmed, Pixie wet herself and Wicket bit my left hand:

OMG- I love it! You made my day…

That joke trick-or-treating must be a midwestern thing, Chris. My sister-in-law’s family in St. Louis says they have the same custom there. We do not require a joke here in the Houston area, nor in north Alabama where I grew up.

Here it’s pretty much “beg-o-ween”: stick out your bag, demanding candy… or else. Maybe you mumble “trick or treat”.

It isn’t even consistently done on October 31st but rather on a day that’s “convenient” — never on Sunday, usually not on a school night…

At least the custom is to not bother folks without lights on. I make sure mine are OUT.

rofl..there like wtf…

LOL your poor dogs they’re so still and just blinking. What has mommy done to them? They look so sad.

waiting for LOLcats captions

LOL, priceless, blame mommy, dadd loves you. Priceless.

They’re so cute and adorable despite the fact that Wicket hit you in the ball sack and *****.

Daddy how to you expect them to go trick or treating when they can’t move?

Sooooooo cute, they’re extremely calm lol

They look their thinking “Get this **** off of me!” LOL

lol cool video
nice dogs

On Chris’s wiki description
Just fine

Ok, where did I put that number for PETA…

“Don’t get mad at me! Mommy’s the one who bought the costumes… Daddy loves you.”

I’m a chick, so I bought my black lab a Halloween costume once. (I’ve never met a guy that bought their pets clothes… it’s GOT to be a girl thing.)

I learned my lesson. It might’ve been easy to force YOUR dogs into those outfits, but once you try to wrestle an 80-pound beast into a Styrofoam doggy bone costume, you’ll lose any enthusiasm for October 31 that you once had. :)

You guys need to have some kids so the dogs get a break from all this silliness.

Sleep with one eye open, they might try to get revenge while you snooze.

heeey ,.

Hey Chris, the long hair suits you :-) or is supposed to be ‘Doggie Ears’??? ;-)

That’s wrong…and I LIKE it!!!

[...] Chris Pirillo presents his dogs Pixie & Wicket dressed up for Halloween as Princess Leia and Darth Vader!  I’m surprised he was able to get them to pose as long as he did.  Be sure to watch last year’s video I put together of various Pet Halloween Costumes as well.

elusive transylvanian, this blood red liquor is extremely hard to locate! try canyon city, colorado - they have it! a must for this weekend’s halloween party. serve with these uber cool skull swizzlers for the perfecthalloweentreat. mind you, they’re more of a trick for your wallet, at $100 per set. the photo doesn’t do them justice though - these things are FAB and if you’re gonna drop a c note on stir sticks, let it be these! get em at

Ring ring ring ring ring BANANA PHONE

“IF U GIVE A **** about animals stop eating meat”

there is no wrong on right only stupid people.

Vale, puedes quedarte a mi lado, siempre que no hables sobre la tempertura. Tu aliento ole como los melocotones.

OMG they are just adorable!

they have no same but they are cute

oh my god people grow up! [not the people below me, but the people who are arguing on here]
it’s just a video! they probably took the costumes off afterwards.
it’s not pet abuse, they’re not hurting them or killing them.
they’re probably not moving cuz they dont care. if they didn’t want them on there, they’d be trying to tear it off.
im sure this guy never intended to torture his own dogs. cant you tell my his voice he adores them? lol
so get a life, you’re making youtube miserable.

are you not amused? lol

Chris, You’re famous, LOL! Well, even more famous. Or actually, this time your pups are famous, and they’ll tolerate you too, if you want to come along. Your little guys made it to CuteOverload.com, where your video is the subject of a lively debate over what punishment the doggies are planning for you. I recognized your name because I used to subscribe to your newsletter years ago, so at least I could tell them you were an upstanding guy who does not spend most of his time thinking of ways to test his pets’ patience.

Anyway, I’m sure they’d be thrilled if you’d drop by. Here is the direct link - which I’m not sure will post since I’m not a registered user here, but you can just visit cuteoverload.com.
