It's nearing the end of October, which means leaves everywhere, pumpkin spice, and sweater weather. But most importantly, it means that Halloween is right around the corner. Let's face it, October is just a 30 day precursor to Halloween, so we can all dress up AND get free candy! But sometimes, its hard to wait until the big day to don your funny outfit, and even harder to resist dressing up your special little pal, whether they are a puppy, kitten, guinea pig, lizard, rat, or whatever!

1. This little guy who is protecting New York City

Just be careful not to get slimed with puppy kisses!

2. This secret spy pupper

You can tell from his serious face that he has a tuxedo underneath and he is prepared to crash the president's ball.

3. This scary fella

Looks like somebody is a fan of Jurassic Park! Funny that this is more realistic to Velociraptor size than the movies' portrayal.

4. A delicious friend

This is either a huge sushi roll, or a really tiny cat.

5. LIZARD WIZARD

6. The perfect disguise

Believe it or not, there is actually a real dog hiding in this picture. Can you spot him?

7. A slow friend

This is the sort of pet who would ring your doorbell on November 2nd for Halloween candy.

8. Another slow AND tasty friend

I would like my turtle with extra tomato, no mayo.

9. Fresh from the tailor!

I may be anti-candy-corn, but I am pro ratty. This cutie has my support.

10. He's a fraid knot

Looks like someone is a bit tied up about what to wear for Halloween.
