That's just not fair - particularly the McDonalds one. Oh dear god. Still I did smile at the Harry Potter one, which must have gone down a storm at whatever fancy dress party or convention the kid was heading to.
I thought the black pug as spider and the Harry Potter (didn't Hagrid name that dog Fluffy?) costumes were kind of awesome. If I saw either of those on the street I would be amused.
The only dog costuming/dressing that I understand are sweaters/coats for weather wimps. And I didn't understand that until last year when I got Lulu. Once it drops below about 50 (F) - her chihuahua part kicks in and she shivers ALL THE TIME. (Once it gets above about 72 her pug part kicks in and she's too hot.) Binky is quite a bit more weather tolerant. (I am pretty sure that Binky's mix is pug and german shepherd. There may be something else in there but those are the two that are most apparent.)
