Dog/Animal Costumes

[honeychile]

In my line of work, I have to visit nursing or personal care homes at least twice a week, sometimes more often. Besides making nice with my clients, I need to keep the door open with each of the homes involved.

I don't even participate in Halloween, but the one home is having a "Pet Parade" the week prior. They have seen pictures of our Buffy, and I've been told that his presence is expected. Well, goodie for them, since he "marks" every single place he visits! But this means that I have to come up with a costume that
a) he'll wear and
b) he won't be humiliated wearing.

Buffy (a Bichon Frise) doesn't mind wearing a loose sweater or whatever when it's really cold, but I'm not so sure he's going to be happy about this...

Any suggestions?
