Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I''m sure Pugsley will forgive you. Just give him a piece of cheese that normally does the trick.

I love pet pictures. DD, the 2 pics of Cheerio are wonderful, and the costume shots of Pugsley and Clifford are also really cute, Morticia & Ramaries. My little old lady cat would claw my eyes out before she let me dress her up.

Great pictures, guys. I would contribute, but sadly, our golden retriever (who usually had the patience and tolerance threshold of a saint) was unequivocally opposed to donning any form of costume. We tried Batman, reindeer antlers (i have no idea why, as this was for halloween), and a cowboy get up (haha) and all costumes were promptly wriggled out of and shredded to bits! (He generally never chewed things outside of the puppy era, so he must have REALLY hated our taste). Message received loud and clear, he wanted to be a golden retriever for Halloween, and that wasn't negotiable!

I've never had a pet that would have stood for being dressed up, either.

I have 9 cats, and two dogs that I claim. I also have a feral cat colony (all recently 'fixed)
that we take care of ...way way toooooooooo many animals..dammit! Gotta love em.
The dogs are: a 15 year old spaniel mutt..love of my life...and a 3 year old Bluetick hound/pitt/? mix...dumb as a box of rocks
Roscoe



Mattie...our old girl


and our youngest...Sullie...originally a feral kitten, but you wouldn't know it now

Can someone tell me how to not post such big pictures when I am using Photobucket? They are always so huge?

I can't really help you on sizing photos through photobucket I just attach them using the upload attachment area below when you create a comment.

All your fuzzy family members are cute. I'm not a fan of cats due to allergies and the fact that my grandmother's cats were always mean.

My roommate just got a Denver Broncos jersey for her dog. Oh the horror!

I just took a quick peek at Photobucket. If you move the mouse cursor over the image that you want to post you will see a menu appear at the top-left corner of the picture. Click on 'Edit'. A new window will appear, click on 'Adjustment', then click on 'Resize' (bottom row, second from the left). Type in your new width, make sure 'Keep proportions' is turned on, then click on 'Apply'. When you are done editing the image save it. Choose 'Save and replace' if you are not too attached to the original image (it will be overwritten). If you want to keep the original image as is was, click on 'Save as copy'. Give the copy a name that will let you know it's the one you want to post on this forum. If you ever delete that copy the image will disappear from this forum.

BTW: I find that 800 pixels wide is a safe size for this forum. Very few people these days set their monitor to less than 1024 pixels wide so the image should show up without them having to scroll side to side.

Edit: Don't try this if you are drinking Captain and Cokes. Your computer will blow up.

Is it a horror that the dog is wearing a jersey or that it's a broncos jersey? I in general don't approve of clothes for dogs except weather gear or sweaters if it is really cold. Halloween is an exception.

Fair enough Nevermore

Thanks Nevermore!
