Going to the dogs!

Next to apple pie there is nothing as All American as a hot dog. Dodger Dogs, Coney Island hot dogs, Chicago-style hot dog are all the best! If you wish you were an Oscar Meyer Wiener then be one this Halloween. Kids, adults and the four legged dogs are really a lot of fun all dressed up in a  hot dog Halloween costume.

Wiener Dog Halloween Costume If you have a dachshund in your family then you just must dress him or her up as a hot dog! The dachshund, because of their long, narrow build, they are sometimes nicknamed hot dog dog, wiener dog or sausage dog. You’ve probably heard “wiener dog” a million times so have fun with it. This one piece outfit has two buns on the side with the hot dog in the middle served with a strip mustard. It’s easy to care for which is good because he’s so low to the ground it may get a little dirty. Just hand wash it and bring it out year after year. It’s available in dog sizes petite (up to 10lbs) and small (up to 20 lbs.) Not only dachshunds could wear this but any small dog could pull it off as well.

In addition to the wiener dog outfit we also have some other very cute dog costumes.

Is a hot dog by any other name still a hot dog? Over the years we have called it a wiener, weenie, frankfurter, frank,  red hot, franks or plain old dog. And what exactly do you put on it? Well you may use mustard, ketchup, pickle relish, coleslaw, sauerkraut, onion, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, cheese or chili peppers. The National Sausage and Hot Dog Council reports that mustard is the all time favorite condiment.  From Pinks in Los Angeles to Coney Island in New York or the windy city where Chicago Style dog is much loved we just can’t get enough of that delicious meal in a bun call it what you will .

Shorty here is one cool doggie and a pretty good sport:

Hot dogs are so ordinary and common that we sometimes take them for granted. The expression “Man Bites Dog” represents any event in journalism where anything  out of the ordinary,  will be more prone to end up being reported in the headlines rather than a typical, day to day event like “Dog Bites Man.” However when you chomp down on what seems like the best hot dog in America you sure wish a reporter was near by!

Have you ever noticed how dogs often look a lot like their owners? Check it out the next time you go to the dog park or just out walking. This principle is also applied to Halloween Pet costumes as well. Pet owners tend to choose outfits that reflect their own personality. The owner of one of those an adorable smaller breeds will usually get them a cute little outfit. The big dogs often get to wear tough guy costumes. It’s even funnier when they wear just the opposite. Many a little doggie thinks he or she is pit bull!
