One Pumpkin on This Doorstep Has a Very Fluffy Face
One small pumpkin on this doorstep has a very fluffy face. An orange Pomeranian sits proudly on the concrete step in a plush pumpkin costume, complete with a jack-o'-lantern face stitched on the belly and a hood topped with a little green stem and leaves. Its round dark eyes and button nose peek out from a cloud of golden fur, and the expression is pure confidence. Real pumpkins, tiny striped gourds and a pot of bright orange mums decorate the steps around it, and a dark welcome mat lies in front of the open door.
Pomeranians are tiny spitz-type dogs with big, bold personalities and a thick double coat that gives them their famous puffball look. They are lively, curious and often quite vocal, which can mean plenty of barking when trick-or-treaters arrive. Brushing several times a week helps keep that coat healthy and free of mats. For costumes, look for soft, breathable fabric that does not press on the face or trap heat under all that fur, and make sure your dog can see, hear, walk and breathe normally. A short photo session followed by costume removal is often the kindest approach.
With an outfit this perfect and a face this sweet, it is hard to tell where the decorations end and the dog begins. This little pumpkin is easily the pick of the patch.
