Just in time for the holidays, some pet owners shared the most festive photos of their pets dressed up in adorable Christmas costumes, while others decided to dress up themselves and pose with their pets for festive portraits.

An older Daily Mail article, but still great.

The photos are downright creepy - and I’m not talking about the pets.

Zombie cat?...................

And then there were the Halloween costumes.

With that cute life preserver in the second picture, I could use him as top water bait when I go trolling for muskies on Lake St. Clair.......LOL!

I am embarrassed to admit that our Bichon does NOT have a 20,000 lb wardrobe.

Oh dang but he is cute.

Like one of those stuff animals cute.

To this day I still keep stuffed animals around the house. The challenge is to prevent the dogs from thinking they’re chew toys. If his personality is as sweet as his appearance, that’s a happy household.

I have a well-married, dear friend from college who was in the Foreign Service. He’s the proud owner of a VERY large teddy bear collection.

Cute dog! If I wanted a teddy bear I would definitely get a Pomeranian. Although my Yorkie owns me, and is highly protective. So that won’t be happening soon. Although he is actually much bigger than I first thought, in that picture of the lady holding him

Cat’s like....”Awwww hell nawww!”

Click on my name to see my pets.

[mairdie]

I did, and I love them!

Are there really 8 at once?

We’re allowed only 3 at a time in our town, but I would LOVE to fill the house with dogs.

[blam]

"Are there really 8 at once?"

No. The bottom four have gone to doggie heaven already.

I live in a rural area, I don't know of any doggie regulations.

[mairdie]

My deepest sympathies. I’m so glad to be able to see them all. Hugs to the top four. I miss the ones we’ve lost desperately.
