This Halloween, I’ve decided to combine these passions, and I’m here to take you along for the whimsical ride into the world of DIY pet Halloween costumes.

Who am I dressing? My dynamic canine duo: Roxie, the unofficial diva of the dog park, and Yoshi, the four-legged cowgirl who’s never heard a ‘yeehaw’ she didn’t like.

These two furballs are the heartbeat of my home and the unsuspecting models for my Halloween ambitions.

You see, in our household, Halloween isn’t just a holiday; it’s a lifestyle. And by that, I mean my pets don’t really have a choice but to get on board with my costume shenanigans.
