This week we asked you to send in your best photos of your pets in costume, and boy did we get some adorable submissions! In fact, this time we have two pets of the week; after all, how could we choose between Buddy and Willy, the two little hot dogs?

Buddy came to his mom from a local pet store, but researching his background led her to learn about the plight of puppy mills, and she is now a volunteer for Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. This is where she found her other little boy, Willy. Prior to rescue, Willy was actually supposed to be euthanized because he had an underbite. But his new mom fell in love with him immediately, and she adopted him shortly before Christmas in 2002.

These two dachshunds have very different personalities: Buddy being very mellow and laid back, while Willy is feisty and loves to play. Willy enjoys playing with his kitty sister and has also been known to terrorize the local toad population – he likes to bark at those that cross his path while outside!

Buddy and Willy are all ready for Halloween, and these two hams just love to show off their costumes. Their mom says they love attention and will do pretty much anything – as long as someone is telling them how adorable they are!
