Customer Review: so cute
This looked adorable on my lab/shar-pei mix!!! He was hilarious at Halloween and everyone loved it. He didn't like his ears being covered, but it was just as cute behind his ears.
Customer Review: Way too small!
I had the opposite problem as the other reviewer--on my (small for her breed) Newfoundland, the skunk tail started about her waist!! I added 1' worth of black material and stapled velcro to keep the tail around hers, but it was ridiculous. Way too small. Adorable though! So hard to find outfits large enough for Giant breeds.


You only have seven days until your Thanksgiving guests arrive. Is it time to panic or time to plan? You are going to need a clean house, a scrumptious meal and a happy family. It is time to plan. Pullout your Thanksgiving planning calendars you started three weeks before Thanksgiving and get going.

One week before Thanksgiving:

Make a list of all your vegetables and creamery needs. You can purchase butter and heavy cream now and be sure to have enough. Often times the stores will sell out of these items closer to Thanksgiving.

If you will be having overnight guests purchase some eggs, sausage, bacon and pancake mix for the morning after Thanksgiving. This will make your Friday home relaxed and enjoyable.

All your vegetable needs such as squash, potatoes and green beans will keep well for a week. By purchasing all these items ahead of time you will not only be sure to have plenty you will also make your last minute shopping easier.

Dig out all your linens, china, crystal and silver.

Begin with washing and drying your linens. Iron your table cloth and napkins then lay them out on the table. Polish any silver you will be using and make sure that all the crystal is clean and sparkling. Hand wash all your fine china and lay it out on the table.

Dig out any turkey roasters, platters and serving dishes you will be using. Wash and prepare all of them so they are clean and ready on Thanksgiving. This will help to reduce your stress when it comes time to begin cooking.

LED Christmas lights are the newcomers to the holiday scene. They have proven themselves valuable for many reasons. In this article I am going to give you some great ideas on how to decorate with these versatile LED Christmas lights.

First, I will explain what they are. They are lights based on Light Emitting Diode technology which are encased in plastic making them very durable for indoor or outdoor use.

A great plus with these lights are the low amounts of energy used, saving you money on your typically higher electricity bill for December. They last longer and have a lower operating temperature than the traditional Christmas lights. If you drop them, they are OK, no cleaning up broken glass or replacing burned out bulbs. The UL and LED manufacturers have rated LED light sets for 90 days of seasonal use outdoors.

These lights come in different colors, shapes, and sizes, which means you can use them for more than just Christmas decorations. Here are a few tips on how you can use your LED Christmas lights not only for Christmas, but for other special occasions.

1. These make a great backdrop for your fireplace. You can wrap these around and frame your fireplace, over the mantel, and/or if you have garland, drape it through.

2. These are beautiful lit around the walkways, creating an inviting and peaceful feel. You may use some light stakes to help suspend the lights, draping them along the curves of your garden path and walkway.

3. Outline your gardening or work-shed, or any other buildings around your home. This will add to the festive look you are creating with your home decorations.

4. These are a beautiful and festive way to decorate the dining room. Your dining room is the center of the festivities, why not add a bit more festivity with lights decorating the buffet or hutch. This will create an inviting and warm feeling in this room, whether it's being used or not.

5. These are great to decorate for weddings.

6. LED Christmas lights are perfect for your outdoor holiday decorating. You can create a beautiful waterfall effect by draping these lights in your trees, draping them from the crown of your tree, down the sides, then accentuating the look by wrapping the lights around the trunk, creating light magic.

7. Why settle for just one Christmas tree, why not drape these LED Christmas lightsthroughout your home, adding cheer in every room? You can put different colors all over the house, creating a theme for each room.

8. Orange lights are great for Halloween or Thanksgiving parties. You can use red,white and blue for the 4Th of July.

9. You can also use blue or pink lights at a baby shower, this will brighten up the party for sure.

10. LED Christmas lights are a beautiful addition to any garden or flowerbed. Creating a new feel by outlining your flowerbeds, or use them to cast light on stone sculptures. These lights are beautiful in any color and will illuminate the beauty around your home and yard. With a little imagination on your part, you will come up with some fabulous ideas.

Merry Christmas!
