A Tiny Pumpkin on the Doorstep Turned Out to Have a Tail
A tiny orange pumpkin costume with a green leaf collar surrounds a cream Havanese puppy, and her silky ears fluff out on both sides. She sits on a concrete doorstep, looking to the side, in front of a blue-gray door with a small wreath. A plaid blanket drapes over a bench, a pair of sneakers sits near the wall and a cardboard box waits at the edge. She looks like the sweetest candy on the block.
Havanese are small, cheerful companions with a silky coat that needs regular brushing. They are playful, social dogs that love being near their families and are usually quick to learn tricks. Puppies are best introduced slowly to costumes and doorbell noises, with treats and a calm voice. A costume should not tug on the neck or block the eyes, and should come off if the pup seems unhappy. Check with your vet if you have questions about safe dress-up.
A pumpkin costume is a Halloween classic, and this one fits perfectly. The puppy holds still for the picture with surprising patience. If she were handing out candy herself, she would be the most popular house on the street. For now, she has the doorstep and every visitor's heart. A puppy this small makes the whole doorstep look bigger, and the wreath behind her adds the perfect finishing touch.
