Steampunk Dog Costume and Pumpkin

I tried out a little Dog Steampunk costume I had made for Chloe. As you can see she 

looooooooooooooooooovvvvves it. She's got puffed sleeves, a little mini victorian hat, and a wide skirt with lots of underskirts. The hat has the more steampunkiness:

Ya know, odd metal bits that appear to have purpose beyond style. 

Speaking of odd metal bits. Take a look at this pumpkin I saw recently!

Okay, as promised, here is the link to my Boston Terrier Chloe Red Sox Costume:

Click HERE to vote for Chloe!!! All you need to do is type the word CHLOE into the box above the pictures and click submit!!!

She's my little Red Sox doggy. It fits because, ya know, she's a Boston Terrier. 

And, I thought of just which player she could be and came up with the idea (then found out that I wasn't the first with this idea, but what they hey?):

Not "Big Papi" but "Big Puppy"!! Get it, get it? Huh? 

I know, kinda corn ball. 

But, I'm banking on the Red Sox to help me win this Pet costume contest  and I need your *votes*  to do it. Of course, the party isn't open until another couple of days......so, I promise, I'll definitely give the link to it you can go to vote!!!

 Here's a collection of some of my favorite dog costumes:
