It's the beginning of October, which by the transitive property of holidays (that's a real thing right?) means that it's basically Halloween and you're already behind if you haven't started celebrating.
But fear not! We know exactly how to best prepare you for the onslaught of candy and all things spooky. We're obviously talking about pets dressed up as pumpkins or sitting in pumpkins or just basically anything that has to do with adorable animals in, near or around pumpkins
Nothing will get you in the mood more than people who force their pets into ridiculous orange outfits. And if this fall season isn't your favorite (what's wrong with you?!), then as least you're looking at animals as pumpkins. It's a can't-lose situation.
So grab a pumpkin-spice-something, curl up with a favorite blanket and take some holiday inspiration from these furry trick-or-treaters.
Look at this pumpkin head!
