"Here is my dog and I, he is a Mexican Hairless dog (Xoloitzcuintle) so it was just the perfect type of dog to paint a skeleton on and the perfect costume for an original aztec dog. We had a lot of fun at the Long Beach Dog parade this weekend." —Maya Andrade

Tis the season to watch horror movies, indulge in candy, visit a haunted house — and adorn your pets in outrageous costumes. Nothing says Halloween like a chihuahua dressed as a taco or a Shih Tzu masked as a peacock.
We asked our listeners to share photos of their pets in costumes. Above is a slideshow of entertaining pics. Below is a collection of tweets from around the web.
What will your pets dress as this year? Send you best shots to klepore@scpr.org. Tweet us @KPCC. Or post to our Facebook page.
(Also, here are tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween from the Pasadena Humane Society.)
