It's a little early, but I thought folks might enjoy this Basenji sighting! (I have no affiliation with this company - I saw this posted on the Brat-Chat newsfeed)

Too cute! Our town has a dog halloween contest and was thinking of dressing up Mojo!!!

We have a halloween parade at our ASFA trial each year. I've already cut out a teapot applique for Tempest, just have to make a little coat to sew it onto. I think Gambit will be a fuzzy dice.

[Rivermoon]

Those are so cute. I don't think those would stay on my b's back for long. I can just see the wearer getting jumped by the other two for the "new toy"

[bewler]

@Rivermoon - Ha ha! I hadn't thought of that scenario - but of course it might happen! Too funny!
And Lisa - we have an October fundraiser for the local Humane Society here that includes a costume contest. I am always trying to come up with ideas, but Tempest in a Teapot might be the best I have heard of - ever! I hope you are the hit of the parade!!

[Buana]

Too funny!

I think Buana would like to own one :D
Chaffie would destroy it in a second haha

[YodelDogs]

Very cute!

[Voodoo]

Shame they don't celebrate halloween over here. Would have been fun to walk around like that!

[jonny b.]

Crack me UP! The B looks so " amused". haha more like "are you kidding me????"

[Shaye's Mom]

OMG - those are so cute! The grim reaper - perfect for Shaye; the pumpkin - perfect for Gemma - likelihood of them letting me put them on? Nil. Sigh. Saw one at the Renaissance Festibal this year of a knight in full armor with a shiny "horse" blanket, carrying a sword - adorable. Not on a basenji though, it was a lab.

[bewler]

Hi Shaye - of course it was on a lab - they are WAY more tolerant than Basenjis! I might still try it though - I keep thinking one of these days Cody might surprise me and NOT eat everything I don't want him to chew! Am I in denial? LOL!

I made costumes for dog show for my Jesika and my daughter. It's from russian tale - @Tsarevna -frog (the same as qween-frog).
We won 3 place, the first and second - my friend Lena and her dogs - dalmatin as Dragon and ksolo as alien
All costumes are hand-made.

I find with basenjis the simpler the costume the more likely they are to tollerate it, things on their heads generally do not work well. I made this little Chippendale outfit for the boys a couple years ago and they did not mind wearing it at all. Last yr I made the mistake of trying to use a wig on the whippet, that did not work out

[QuizBasenji]

Oh, wow! Thanks, OP! Bookmarked for the next Discworld Convention. (Have to make a speech bubble for Grim Reaper saying something like "Binky, Binky? Who are you?")

[Patty]

Mine won't tolerate being dressed up - some even object to wearing coats in bad weather!!

[Lmaris]

Here's what I've ordered for Thabo. The fact they seem to have persuaded a basenji to wear it long enough to photograph was a plus in my book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HE189G/ref=oh_emp_details_o02__i01
