Friday Fetch: Halloween Pet Costume Round-up

Posted on October 19, 2012 by Ammo

It’s almost time for Halloweenie! Yay! Arguably one of my favorite times of the year, I love having an excuse to dress up in costume. Although if you know me, everyday is an excuse to dress up in costume!

My mom is working on making my top secret costume this year, and I’m hoping it will top last year’s Rocket Dog – but while I can’t show you the finished product just yet, I thought I’d do a little round-up of some of my favorite pet costumes on the market this year.

So what are you going to be for Halloweenie?

Rocket Dog 2.0

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Ammo

Remember how I lost my rocket pack that my mom made me for Halloween? And I suspected that the groundhog in my backyard found it and was rocketing around all over the place? Yeah, well I was pretty sad about not having a Halloween costume this year, but my mom knew just what to do to make me feel better.

It’s Rocket Pack 2.0! My mom made me another one – an UPGRADED one to be exact.

See version 2.0 has wings, which means I can rocket even faster!

I was having so much fun playing Halloween dress up that I even tried out a few different versions for my costume. Rocket Dinosaur? It’s a possibility.

Ultimately I think I decided on just plain Rocket Dog though, it really highlights the rocket pack. Although there is one more thing that would make my costume out of this world…

Mom, can you PLEASE make me a rocket ship out of this cardboard box?

I promise if I end up blasting to the moon that I’ll be back in time for dinner! After all I don’t want to miss tick-or-treating.

Happy Howl-o-weenie Everyone!

The Adventures of Rocket Dog

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Ammo

Ever since my mom made me my very own rocket pack I’ve been itching to have some Halloween adventures! So it was just my luck when we hosted a SUPER HERO Halloween party at my house last weekend.

I of course dressed up as Rocket Dog, complete with my led glowdoggie collar too!

And I think mom was jealous of my rocket pack, so she made herself one too and dressed up as the Rocketeer.

Dad on the other hand went the more obscure route and dressed up as Captain Hindsight (honestly no one was really sure who he was). In hindsight he probably should have been something everyone was more familiar with. hehe.

Of course I had to invite my best friend Trooper to the party. And wouldn’t you know he dressed up as his favoritest Super Hero of all…..ME!

I spent most of the evening contemplating when my big adventure might happen and just at the right moment I rocketed out the front door with my rocket pack when mom and dad weren’t looking. hehe.

All the super heroes at my party went running through the neighborhood trying to catch me as I zoomed about with my rocket pack. Mom says thankfully they were able to spot me easily with my glowdoggie collar on and Captain Hindsight (aka dad) jumped in a briar bush after me. Sadly I snagged my rocket pack on something in the woods and my amazing Halloween adventure came to an abrupt end.

I was pretty bummed about losing my rocket pack, but atleast it was fun while it lasted!

I’ll always remember you rocket pack and the fun times we had!

Technically Halloween isn’t until Monday, but I just couldn’t wait any longer to share my very special Halloween costume with all of you. It is way cool!
