"Fetch" Is Now A Reindeer...Er, Reindog - Game

Ah, dogs in costumes...has there ever been a more polarizing social oddity? You either love it or hate it, there's just no in between. If you're in the former camp, you a) probably have a dog, and b) probably don't have any other plans for this coming Saturday. Never fear - the Chicago Botanic Garden is here to save your weekend with the 5th Annual Reindog Parade. This is the only four hours all year when dogs are allowed in the Garden, but the price of admission is dressing your pooch up like a furry elf. Prizes for the best costume and refreshments for both the two- and four-legged attendees follow the parade.

What does a bad doggie get in his stocking? Catnip?

If you're in the mood for more holiday pooches....
