Soooo who’s excited that it’s Halloween? I know I am!
Tonight I get to hand out candy to all the Trick-or-Treaters, and tomorrow is my annual Halloween Party!
You can check out last year’s recap of my Halloween Party (as well as my super awesome Ninja Turtle Costume) – and be sure to take a peek at my costume for this year! I can’t wait to show all my party guests!
What spooktacular plans do you have this weekend? 
Happy Halloweenie Friends!
So as you may or may not know, Halloween is next week. Now while personally I always try to come up with a homemade costume, sometimes the reality is there just aren’t enough hours in the day. So if you’re strapped for time, but still want your pup to look their best this Halloween, have no fear! I’ve rounded up 10 of my favorite store bought costumes to make dressing up your dog a cinch this year!
2. Unicorn
3. Flash
4. Camel
5. Miss Piggy
6. Owl
7. Scuba Diver
9. Gumby
10. Pink Monster
So which one is your favorite?
With Halloween just around the corner I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my VERY FIRST Halloween with my family!
Trooper dressed up as a Pony (complete with western rider and saddle on his back) and I dressed up as a cute little Dinosaur.
Mom said it would of been more appropriate if I had dressed as a T-Rex (on account of my short stubby arms)…..I’m laughing real hard mom, real hard!
Apparently I missed the memo that Dinosaurs are supposed to be bigger and badder that ponies though, because Trooper seemed to keep trying to get a taste of Dinosaur meat.
You can check out some more photos from my very first Halloween with Trooper on the Painting Pony Blog.
What is your dog going to be this year for Halloween?

These days, everywhere you turn things are able to be personalized and customized. And hey, who am I to complain when personalization is this fun!
My new friends over at Tags for Tails helped me create a custom ID tag for my collar.
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to really showcase my namesake on this fun bullet shaped tag. Seriously, it had my name written all over it!
My tag from Tags for Tails also came stamped with my phone number on the back – should I ever need to contact my mom or dad in the case of an emergency.
Tags for Tails also has tons and tons of other fun designs in their shop, like these:
So many fun shapes I can hardly choose a favorite.
My “Ammo” tag totally suits me though. Now all the ladies can see what a tough guy I am.
Well, a tough guy with an inside made of gooey lovable puppiness!
You can fetch your dog their own personalized ID tag from Tags for Tails. And as a bonus you can use code t4tsave5now to save 5% off your next order!

P.S. Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter my giveaway with Paw Street Barkery!
Over the weekend mom and dad took me to pick out my Halloweenie pumpkins.
And oh boy where there pumpkins galore to choose from!
But not to worry, this nose is very experienced at picking out the very best carving pumpkins!
Just look at these beauties I sniffed out! I can’t wait to get to carving them, all I have to do is decide what to carve. Any suggestions?
And if you didn’t know, I’m also pretty awesome at carving pumpkins too, just like these sweet pumpkins from a few years back.
A couple of months ago Trooper and I got the opportunity to have a little fashion show with the new Martha Stewart Fall Pet Line, available at Petsmart.
The end result landed a photo of me on MarthaStewart.com – pretty exciting!
The fact is though, mom took so many fun photos of Trooper and I enjoying our new Martha Stewart products – that we had to share all the others that didn’t make the cut!
Especially since they are the PERFECT thing to put everyone in the Halloweenie mood!
Honestly, what’s more Halloweenie than a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin?
Well perhaps a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin in a pile of hay!
Trooper totally had his eye on the Martha Stewart toys, and I bet he was thinking he’d get to take them home with him after our little photoshoot.
Sorry Trooper, I’ll share my Halloweenie collar with you, but these toys are mine….all mine!
What sort of things are you doing this fall to get into the Halloweenie mood?
Disclosure: I received products from Martha Stewart to photograph for their website, but decided to share the fun photos on my blog as well! All opinions are my own.
Every year my mom and dad make me a homemade halloween costume.
Last year I was a Raphael the Ninja Turtle.
And the year before I was Wile E. Coyote. And while this year’s Halloween costume is under wraps for now, I thought it would be fun to round up some of my favorite DIY Halloween costumes for dogs from around the web. Hopefully it will help spark some ideas for your own pup’s costumes!
