 Woods, anything goes. For those dress-up holiday events, your guy can get his pet dolled up with a boa by the cleverly named High Maintenance Bitch--there are a variety of colors so he can coordinate his dog with his tie. For that upcoming dinner party, nothing says Best in Show like the Formal Attire Tuxedo. Last but not least, for the big holiday itself, how about a doggy Santa Suit? Bulldogs were bred to wear red.

SpongeBob SquarePants This article is about the series. For the title character, see SpongeBob SquarePants (character). For other uses, see SpongeBob SquarePants (disambiguation).
SpongeBob SquarePants is an Emmy-nominated American animated television series and media franchise.
 Aquarium Set ($29.99, Happy Dog Toys) There's some sort of mystical connection between gay folks and SpongeBob SquarePants, star of the hit Nickelodeon cartoon series A cartoon series is a set of regularly presented animated television programs created or adapted for television broadcast with a common series title, usually related to one another. .

The Carry Den ($79.99, Creature Leisure) Kozy K-9 Seat Blanket ($94.95, Kozy K-9) Drinkwell Pet Fountain ($49.95, Veterinary Ventures) File these gifts under "Open Me Early." Everyone travels over the holidays, so why not help your pet-owning pals keep their little one comfortable while in transit? The Carry Den is a smartly constructed travel case for pets that is stylish and functional, and it fits under an airplane seat. If they're driving over the river and through the woods to visit family, their pet will be comfy with the Kozy K-9 Seat Blanket, which protects the backseat from becoming an oasis for hair balls. And for anybody who is leaving their four-legged pal at home, the Drinkwell Pet Fountain gives pets the impression that they're drinking from a running stream--and more important, it dispels the impression that the toilet is a fresh mountain spring.
