Oh, I do love this time of year. All the mainstream establishments trot out their Halloween-themed wares, and the smart goth stocks up for the lean times.

In this case, it’s the Doctors Foster and Smith pet supply site. They’ve added a Halloween section to their site, offering items like the tarantula dog toys shown here and these cute spooky catnip balls. There’s no reason that your pets can’t get in on your lifestyle too. (Or at least the warm-blooded ones; there’s no Halloween store for reptiles, so my lizard will just have to feel left out.)

I’m going to get one of the tarantulas for my mother-in-law’s cockapoo. I like the idea of a little cutesy dog wrestling with a big fuzzy spider.
