Pumpkin Season Has Never Looked Quite This Wrinkly
Pumpkin season has never looked quite this wrinkly. A white Bulldog puppy stands on a concrete doorstep wearing a puffy orange costume with ribbed sections like a real pumpkin and a little green stem and leaf perched on top of its head. Its pink nose, droopy jowls, and soft folds of skin make the outfit even more charming, and its dark eyes look up with a slightly unsure expression. Behind it, a wooden front door, a pot of orange mums, a doormat, and a scattering of fallen leaves set the autumn mood.
Bulldogs are known for their gentle, laid-back personalities and their sturdy, low-slung build. As a flat-faced breed, they can struggle with heat and breathing, so it is important to watch them closely in costumes. A padded outfit like this can make a Bulldog warm quickly, so short wear in cool weather is best. Choose costumes that leave the face and nose fully clear, and watch for heavy panting or signs of discomfort. Their facial wrinkles also need regular gentle cleaning and drying to prevent irritation, a good habit to start when they are puppies.
If a pumpkin patch ever needed a mascot, this little one would win paws down. A few photos, a lot of praise, and then off with the costume for a well-earned rest on the cool floor inside.
