Help! Need to pick costumes! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Alora · 10-14-2013, 10:04 PM

Ok YorkieTalkers, Henri and I need your help!
On October 26 we are going to a Halloween party and need to pick matching costumes, but I don't know what to pick. Here are some ideas that my family and I have come up with:
Catwoman and Batman
Teapot and teacup (lol, playing on "teacup yorkie")
Bread and butter
Farmer and pig
Aviator and biplane
Yorkshire pudding (I as pudding and Henri as, well a yorkie

)
Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf
And the classic (but a little overused) Dorthy and Toto

Please vote on your favorite costume idea or make a suggestion! Thanks!

Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf!

Or the pup could be Dorothy

My daughter dressed her dog not a yorkie as Oscar the grouch. She is very creative and made the cutest little trash can . It was a hoot!

"Pawton Manning" and his "football" would be cute for two Yorkies, especially if one is larger.

Aww, sounds so cute! Do you have any pictures of it?
Funny thing about you saying that is I actually have a Big Bird costume from a couple of years ago that still fits, I bet Henri would make an adorable Elmo!

Too bad I only have 1 yorkie!

It could still work if I was the football, lol that would look funny.

Well, let's see - you could be Pawton and dress your little one as the fuzzy football. Would be adorable. All you'd need was a *18 jersey or t-shirt, maybe some kids shoulder pads underneath, one of those cheapo kids football helmets from the toy store or thrift shop and some tennis shoes. And making or buying a little brown furry football costume for your baby.

my daughter is going as a policeman and Jessie is going as her prisoner. We have Jess's prison costume and her smaller crate that looks like a cell that we will have her in in a wagon..http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

Little Red Riding Hood

Although if you did go with sesame street characters. They do have some at PetSmart currently.

I'll have to look and see if they have Oscar the Grouch, lol.

I am terrible with costumes. We haven't done a proper Halloween yet. I just sit back and enjoy everyone's costumes.

Alora, looking forward to seeing pics of you and Henri dressed up.

AllDogBoots · 10-17-2013, 12:13 PM

I like the teapot and teacup idea. How can you pull that off?

Alora · 10-20-2013, 02:31 PM

Thanks everyone for the votes and ideas!
I will reveal the winning costume idea when I post a pic of it after the Halloween party on the 26th

And please don't be afraid to post pics of your babies in costumes here, I LOVE seeing pics of pups in costumes

Me too. I thought it should be if you have two, and one is bigger than the other. But to throw people off, the smaller one should be the teapot and the bigger one the teacup.

Where did you get the prisoner costume? We have halloween at our campground on Labor day and we have a golf cart parade. Our idea was to put the kids in prisoner costumes and make some kind of jail cell out of our wagon. It would be fantastic to add Gunner to the bunch.
