Not sure if this is the right section...but here we go. We have a dog....goes almost everywhere with us to Pirate faire....(he has a skull and crossed bones bandana that he wears) and i was wondering if anyone else has any ideas to make a pet a bit more steamy? He is my nature a bit steamy already being a staffordshire bull terrier, they were very popular as pets int he 1900s. This is our little guy His name is Uggi |

Perhaps a brown leather collar with brass rivets and a cog hanging off it as a tag?

 No problem. And it's something he'll already be used to so he won't get upset!

A dog in a top hat equipped with monocle is an amazing image... I say go for it!

I´m sure finding a vest made for dogs should be possible, considering you can get leather jackets for iguanas.

You can find an enormous variety of clothes for dogs. Whether or not anyone in their right mind would buy them or any dog in it's right mind would wear them is another matter. (My mother is in possession of a particularly dense Bicchon Frise, and it's taken six months of unceasing work to stop her buying him a tutu) Little frilly dresses were very popular for Victorian lapdogs, incidentally - but for your bull terrier, I think I'd stick to the leather collar or possibly a Victorian looking bandana? (No idea how to make a bandana look more Steampunk - embroider a gear on it?) |

If you were to come into my house and sit down, he would climb up in your lap! *L* After all the good suggestions here I am thinking of making him a brown leather harness with brass rivets and maybe a cog or two. |

I'd go for a thick industrially stamped looking tag, with an ID number like you'd expect to find on a lab specimen.

The nearest I managed to get in punking up the cat was a studded collar - and even that is at constant risk of being demolished. She looks very cute in a little fascinator hat but has a facial expression that tends to suggest she knows I have to sleep sometime. I guess dogs are a little more adaptable to playing dress up.
Hmm, now for your Staffy..... spats? A harness with clockwork embellishment on the front suggesting the dog needs to be wound up every now and again? Not that I'd want to wind up a bull terrier.

A large clock key on the back is a good start...

Petsmart's Halloween costume section for cats had a white satin shirt collar with a black bow-tie attached. My cat now looks like he's the family butler. (Since he has a habit of meeting us at the door when we get home, the role suits him!)

Your dog is SO cute. I love bullies. A Cog shaped tag and/or puppy goggles would look cute.

I own several pugs and I was walking through Petsmart the other day and saw this...  I am thinking of doing one in canvas, leather, and brass for the larger of my two males. |
