A frightful sight

Carla at The Pet Shop writes about our Halloween costume competition for pets. I know that some people consider their pets as their children and so force them to wear outfits the pets really don't want to wear, but some of these are just seriously wrong.

Fun to look at, though, in the same way it's fun to watch TV news personalities dress up on Halloween.

Pets that are forced to wear costumes throughout the day (remember the Paris Hilton dog? [remember Paris Hilton?]) are not always happy pets.
