Pug Wants a Halloween Costume
Help Charlie Pick a Halloween Costume Fit for a Pug
Now, Charlie refuses to wear any handmade Halloween costumes. He's a spoiled little Pug. Instead, he went shopping online and found a few pics of other pugs in costumes. He found so many that he couldn't make up his mind. So Charlie's chosen several fun Halloween dog costumes that he thinks are perfect for Pugs.
Happy Halloween! Charlie's a happy Pug today!
Top 50 Happy Halloween SquidQuest lens finalist
Charlie is delighted that his Pug Wants a Halloween Costume is one of the top 50 finalists in the 2011 Happy Halloween SquidQest Contest.
Charlie's in terrific company with other great lensmasters, unnfortunately you can only vote once and the little Pug and I are quite partial and hope it's for this lens. :)
Countdown to Halloween
No treats for Charlie. His treat jar is closed until he chooses a Halloween dog costume.
Will you help Charlie the Pug pick a fun dog Halloween costume?
Will you help Charlie choose a funny dog costume for the Pug Halloween Costume Ball?

Yes, Charlie, of course I will.
nancycarol says:
Of course, and maybe find one for my pug at the same time!
genglo says:
I'd be happy to help!
jenniferteacher says:
I would love to see a Count Pugula!
TheLittleCardShop says:
Of course! He needs a great halloween custom!
KathyMcGraw says:
Well any good spoiled pug should indeed have the best costume. I will see what you have picked out and give my opinion ;)
No, Charlie. You need to do this all by yourself.
YourIslandRoutes says:
I think Charlie would want to get a word in on this.
AnnaleeBlysse says:
Charlie should choose! (Hope he chooses MIB.)
Who else will be at the Pug-O-Ween?
Charlie is checking out the pug costume competition
Charlie's Pug Costume Contest
Pirate Dog Costume
Choice #1 in Charlie's Dog Costume Contest
Pirate Dog Costume
I tried to explain to Charlie that this is more like the pirate costumes bulldogs wear but he really likes this one. I have to admit I like the whole tie thing. I'm just not sure how well it would look on him.
Hooded Honey Bumble Bee Halloween Dog Costume
Choice #2 for the Pug Halloween event

Cute Hooded Honey Bumble Bee Halloween Dog Costume
Charlie seems to think this would blow his canine star image in the world of pugs but I think it's cute. What do you think? Is this the perfect Halloween costumer for Charlie?
You'll have the opportunity to tell Charlie what you think soon. Look for the costume contest poll that follows.
Men in Black Pug Costume
Choice #3 for the Pug-O-Ween dog with a mission
Pet Men In Black II Dog Costume For Medium Dogs
I tried to show him some of the customer reviews where they talked about how the outfit required them to nip and tuck and run a seam here and there due to some fitting problems, but Charlie seems to think I should be happy to tailor the costume to his pugnificent body. Me? Not so much.
Should Charlie have his own blog or website?
Charlie wants to know if he's ready for prime time. He wants a blog or a website. Heck, he wants to do video. What do you think? Share your ideas about what Charlie should do. The little pug really wants to know. (Keep reading after you share your thoughts.)

- I agree with Charlie on about the bumble bee. A dog blog is a good idea, and so are dog Squidoo lenses.

Zack & Zoey Pirate Pup Costume for Pugs
Bonus option in the Halloween dog costume contest
Zack & Zoey Pirate Pup Costume Lrg [Misc.]
I spent a little more time than Charlie online and found this dog pirate outfit that is perfect for a pug. I think the feather in the cap is a great touch. Charlie, not so much. He's really into black this year.
What do you think? Can't you picture him in this outfit with that great big black pirate--and the red feather sticking straight up?
Who puts dog costumes on their pugs?

What's in Charlie's personalized Milkbone Treat Jar?
Charlie loves Milkbone Gravy Bone Biscuits
Milk-Bone Gravy Bone Biscuits (Small/Medium - 19-oz box)
Amazon Price: (as of 06/04/2012)![]()
Charlie can't wait for night time potty. Every night he's waiting at the back door, ready to run out with Waco, Freddie, Teddy, Riley and HoneyBunn for their final potty run of the day. Why? Because he can't wait to get back inside for the nighttime treat: Milkbone's Gravy Bone Buscuits. Charlie's drooling before I even get the jar opened.
Share your thoughts with Charlie about Halloween, Pug-O-Weens and pugs
Let Charlie know why you chose the pug outfit that you did.
Say hi to Charlie the Pug. He's anxious to hear from you and wants to know if you'd like to know more about what he does, his life, and his canine roomies.

- All of the costumes were adorable, but I think Charlie would look the best in the first pirate costume. It really suits him! Congrats on getting the top 50, I'm voting for you!

Writing about Halloween and for Squidoo
From Down the Writer's Path
- Writing about Halloween - Halloween writing ideas
- Writing about Halloween is one way writers capture the season's spirit. Coming up with those Halloween writing ideas is a whole other proposition. Where do you go for those spooky ideas?
- Is writing your true passion?
- I'm on a quest to reclaim my passion. When did it leave? Why is it absent? Where did it go? I guess I could spend time and a lot of angst trying to answer those questions but does it matter? What matters is that I am passionless. What matters even more is that I want my passion back.
- What makes a good Squidoo lens?
- Learning to write a Squidoo lens or article is a great tutorial for online writing. An effective Squidoo lens will need to have good keywords so Squidoo can be a crash course in SEO or search engine optimization.
