Captain Kody: What Should Kody Be for Halloween?

Ridiculous? Yes. Terrible? No. On Halloween, it's acceptable for all creatures big and small to dress up!

Captain Kody: What will you be for Halloween?

Is it really such a terrible thing to dress your pets? Personally, I think not. While your pet may be embarrassed to walk down the street wearing a toddler’s pumpkin suit or fluffy pink tutu, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to include your pet in your Halloween celebration.

I am not encouraging you to traumatize your pet for the sake of your own amusement, but dressing your pet is a better form of entertainment than tempting them with off-limits chocolate candy and treats.

You’d be surprised how many furry creatures that are found fully dressed on Halloween night. While some dogs will act paralyzed in their costumes, you may notice that others are happy to play the part. Kody happens to be an awfully dramatic dog, so he might be infuriated by the thought of wearing clothes, or he might just be completely jazzed to strut his stuff on Halloween. Either way, I have some great ideas in mind for his Halloween costume!

According to www.halloweenstreet.com/petcostumes, these were the top 10 pet costumes in the U.S. last year:
