I was just over at Boston.com, and they have a feature where readers can send in photos of their pets - in Halloween costumes.
Folks, no matter how much you think your pet loves being dressed up, please don't do this. There is no dignity in a dog wearing a ladybug outfit. And for those of you who had to use treats to get your pet to stay in costume long enough to snap a photo, be ashamed of yourself. And don't blame Fido or Fluffy if they leave you a "treat" of their own. You had it coming.
(Full disclosure: the second generation of Coen dogs all suffered dress-up at some point. Both of the daschunds got sweaters one Christmas, and it did not go well. We were risking back injury from the contortions they made trying to get out of them. Our yellow Lab was also made to wear antlers on occasion, with a resulting look that said "OK, I'm not enjoying this, and it's beneath both of us. Can we just take these off now? Thanks.")

I LOVE dogs wearing antlers! When we have a dog I am totally putting antlers on it, but I promise I won't make the dog wear them for too long.
Meeka, my mother-in-law's dog, had bows on her ears and a bell around her neck when she greeted us at Christmastime. She had just come back from the groomers and while the bell didn't last long, she didn't seem to mind the bows. They were attached with elastics to little tufts of hair by her ears, so it probably didn't hurt her at all.
