Friday Fetch: 10 Awesome Halloween Costumes for Pets

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love getting to dress up as something I’m normally not. While I myself tend to go the DIY route when it comes to my costumes, it’s fun to browse through the store-bought options for inspiration and perhaps a little giggle too. So here’s my round-up of 10 Awesome Halloween Costumes for Dogs that I thought were pretty darn cool!

A Clean Bill of Health

Ammo's Annual Vet Visit // Ammo the Dachshund

What I thought was just a typical car ride for me turned into an unexpected pit stop the other day when I found myself arriving at my vet’s office.

I must admit, shots and a physical exam are never on my to-do list, but it’s a necessary evil I guess.

As friendly as the staff at my vet’s office is, I’m just never my typical happy tail wagging self. I can’t help it when my first REAL memory at the vet is being neutered!

While I was waiting for my turn in the exam room I did find a happy little surprise. My Halloween costume made the bulletin board, and it turns out I won first place for the best character costume. How cool!

When it was finally my turn to be examined I tried to put on a brave face.

Mom helped a bit by bringing along one of my favorite snacks, peanut butter. She’s been carrying it around in her pocket for weeks and using it to help me build a positive association with things I’m a little scared of. (the vet, the vacuum, etc). I have to admit, peanut butter does help make everything a little bit better!

My vet came in and examined my weight and body condition, and I had a few routine tests done before getting my annual vaccines.

Ammo's Annual Vet Visit // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m happy to report that I got a clean bill of health, clocking in at 18.8 pounds my vet said that I’m in perfect condition and weight for my size. My blood test even came back negative for lyme after I tested positive last year for anaplasmosis (a type of lyme). So it’s great that there was no traces of it found in my body this year.

I hope your puppies are feeling happy and healthy too!

Next week I’ll be sharing just how I keep my body in tip top shape – perfect timing right before Thanksgiving, so stay tuned! Ammo the Dachshund

Bump in the Night

With Halloween just around the corner, things have gotten quite spooky around my house. Over the weekend my mom and dad held their annual Halloween party, and while you’ll still have to wait just a bit longer to see my homemade costume for this year, I couldn’t help but get into the spooky spirit!

Bump in the Night // Happy Halloween // Ammo the Dachshund

Pretty scary right?

My mom told me that all the ghouls and ghosts come out at night to haunt little puppies who do naughty things during the day.

A Trip to the Vet

After my little oopsie on Sunday mom decided to take me to the vet on monday morning just to make sure my boo boo was taken care of properly.

Ammo the Dachshund goes to the vet

Going to the vet’s office is one of my least favorite things to do. Everyone there is very nice, however I can’t help but relive the day I was neutered everytime I enter those double doors, do you blame me?

Ammo the Dachshund goes to the vet

Sitting and waiting to see the vet is one of the worst parts, because I’m never sure what horrible thing will happen to me while I’m there. Will I get my nails trimmed, are they going to shove a thermometer up my butt, or am I going to be poked with needles?

These questions plagued my mind as I awaited uncertain doom.

This time though, I got off with only a little bit of doom…..in the form of a buzz cut!

Ammo the Dachshund goes to the vet

The vet said she could have stapled my cut shut to prevent any scarring, but mom (thank goodness) opted to let me go the most comfortable route and have it heal naturally. Plus scars are kinda cool…..even if I didn’t earn it doing anything that exciting.

I do however have to take antibiotics – which aren’t that bad considering I get a big spoonful of cream cheese with it – and mom has to clean and dress my cut a couple times a day. It was totally worth it though, especially since it meant I didn’t have to miss monday afternoon agility class!

My classmates think I’m super tough now too, especially after I told them I got this scar during a crazy fight with a ground hog. Shhhh! It’s our little secret. Ammo the Dachshund

Death Trap

Do you blame me for being scared?

That thing is totally out to get me.

Stop looking at me scary machine.

Thank goodness I made it out alive. Until next time scary machine, until next time.

P.S. Don’t worry I’m not sick, I just had to get my annual vet check-up. And I’m as healthy as a horse! Dr. said I’m ready for another year of adventures!
