It’s almost time to watch Halloween cartoons! (Yes, I am five.) I do love It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown – however, for my favorite special, I have to break out the DVD player. Which one is that, you might ask? Garfield, of course. What’s yours?
Anyway, before I do that, I owe you some Halloween linkage. Enjoy…
- This week’s punny pet names are inspired by my friend Coney McConerson: Conan O’Whinin’, Ichabod Cone and Cone Crawford. (I’ve also added a few new nicknames for my Coney Island friend. One of my favorites? The Cone Ranger.)
- Looking for an easy Halloween treat this weekend? Try making this candy cane bark I shared over on the baking blog.
- Halloween is Monday… which means it’s the last Friday that I can share Halloween costumes this year. Let’s start with 6 awesome dog costumes inspired by food.
- Those photos were taken at the 21st Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. Want more? I aim to please.
- Remember that awesome collection of cat costumes from last week? Now there’s one for dogs too.
- Still haven’t figured out a costume for your pup? Lucky you – Doggie Stylish has a ton of ideas and tutorials! Or perhaps you’d prefer something simple? (Whatever you choose, make sure to follow these safety tips from To Dog With Love.)
- Bella’s not so into pumpkin carving… maybe she’s just intimidated by the skills of these carving creatures.
- Speaking of pumpkins, these Dog O’Lanterns from PupLove and Gardening with Wyatt are pretty awesome.
- Don’t feel like carving? It’s not necessary for maximum cute. Exhibit A: some photos of pooches hanging out with pumpkins.
Finally, this week’s video:
I hope that you have a wonderful Halloween weekend!
Cute trick – now where's the treat?
I wonder what trick the dog will play on the owner if he doesn't get a treat? Thanks for the linky love! I had a lot of fun making costumes for the dogs this year 😀
Hahaha, loved that video! I was wondering if they did the first one upside down on purpose or if it was truly an ooops. Great trick though and funny outtake at the end!
I am loving those pumpkin and pooch pictures! Some really great shots!
I love the video! You always make me smile!
We're not carving pumpkins this year, we are spray painting them!! We found out about it on a friends blog! I sure hope they turn out or the kids are going to be mad at me!
I love the Great Pumpkin Halloween special the best!
The Great Pumpkin is awesome, and who doesn't love some good old Scooby Doo for Halloween?
The baked potato and meat dress costumes were killing me! Oh, keep me away from that one!
That video is so stinking cute!
Oh, loved the video! I sure hope he got some really good treats for that trick! Great post! Happy Howl-oween!
OMD, are you seriously calling Bella the Cone Ranger? That is….awful! and awesome, but mostly awful. You're just ASKING to get bit in the butt. Can't wait! Going to watch a Halloween marathon tomorrow, stars with the tame cartoons in the daytime then gets scarier as it gets dark. Nothing beats Garfield though. Nothing.
That video's too funny–what a great trick!!
ROFL! I was impressed that that dog didn't eat the OR sign… I would have!
Sweet dog, cute video! Happy Halloween!
Teehee!! Love that video!!! 🙂
Woofs & hugs for a wonderful weekend! <3
~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
Ok. The dog dressed as Spaghetti and Meatballs was totally awesome!
I also love Karen's costume ideas. They are hilarious!
BTW – I laughed when I saw the video. YOu have no idea how close I came to making that my Favorite Video Friday. Glad I didn't. 🙂
I hope Miss Bella is feeling a bit better these days.
Vicki – Good question!
Karen – Your costumes are seriously amazing.
Julia – I'm glad that the dog just fell over on the bed on the outtake. To start with I was worried!
Pip – Yeah, the pumpkin shots were pretty cute.
jen – Spray painting them sounds cool! Did you like how they turned out?
Caren – That one's great too!
houndstooth – How could I forget Scooby Doo?
FiveSibes – I bet the rewards were pretty good.
Koly – I am calling her that. She probably is plotting against me in earnest now.
Sage, rumpydog, Becky & Bailey – Thanks!
Daisy's Mom – How funny… great minds think alike!
How cute is that little dog!?! I thought he was going to roll off the bed, but I'm glad there was happy ending. Halloween is SO much fun!!! Hope you all enjoy every moment!
Are you too young to remember the Bugs Bunny Halloween special? I love the part where he sings "abracadabra" and the witch turns into a bat. 🙂
Elizabeth – I loved that special! Excellent choice. I think Bugs Bunny cartoons are timeless. 🙂
