Getting Into The October Spirit
Carve A Pumpkin To Look Like Your Pup
A couple of years ago I found a Better Homes And Garden Internet site that had 24 different pattern stencils for carving pumpkins to look like certain dog breeds. Not all breeds are represented. Fortunately, a Poodle was one of those that were. There are also carving suggestions, which are very helpful.
The breeds represented are:
- Dachshund
- Bulldog
- Border Collie
- Boston Terrier
- Chihuahua
- Beagle
- Boxer
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
- German Shepard
- Golden Retriever
- Cocker Spaniel
- Pomeranian
- Jack Russel
- German Shorthair Pointer
- Doberman Pincher
- Labrador Retriever
- Pug
- Rottweiler
- Poodle
- Schnauzer
- Scottish Terrier
- Shih Tzu
- Siberian Husky
- Yorkshire Terrier
For this year, I was planning to do a pumpkin that looked like our Penny, who is a Pitt mix (this is the link). I had a disappointment when I found that there was not a stencil for her.
I have decided to change that. I have made a stencil for the American Pitt Bull. I am going to get my pumpkin today, carve it, and then blog the pumpkin along with the FREE stencil for anyone who wants to use it. Stay tuned! And Happy Pumpkin Carving!
