Dressing up costumes for both dogs and humans, St Albans Cathedral, Herts, March 2026
A fun activity for the Easter holidays perhaps – the children and their dogs can dress up in Roman, medieval and church-related costumes.
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS. You’ll find me on Instagram @travel_travel_with_intent and @dsmythphoto

This is very cute. I’ve not seen medieval costumes for dogs before! Here are spring visitors outdoors: https://fakeflamenco.com/2026/03/28/which-spring-flowers-shall-we-spy/

I wish I had made a photo – 50 years ago, on a very wintry Sunday three friends of mine and I were walking through the woods, coming home from a morning cider in a small pub where music was made and songs were sund and we came upon this rather rotund woman in a green loden coat with a matching Tyrolean hat and her dachshund dressed in a matching outfit: a green loden coat with a green Tyrolean hat perched jauntily on his head. Us four youngsters stood in a half circle, looking down on the dog and laughing so hard. At the time dressed up dog were a lot less common. His mistress was not amused. But we just couldn’t stop. The picture has stayed in my mind forever. But – no camera.

Shame no camera, indeed.
Hopefully the dog was more forgiving than his owner 😉

I think it’s harmless fun for the family. So far I’ve only seen the cathedral dog trying them on.

I feel a bit of sense-of-humour failure here. Poor dogs. I expect their owners feed them on doggie ice cream too …

I don’t like seeing dogs out walking and dressed to the nines. But letting them join in with the family for a few minutes is fine with me.
Not with my dog though, of course. He hates wearing anything. He’s not keen on wearing a collar and when he has a harness for the car he suddenly can’t walk! And as for doggie ice cream? – he only likes the human variety 😄

Dogs in cloths always a laugh, though my dogs refused to ever indulge the chore. Talking of chores, my 6WS is a different approach :- https://davidoakes-images.com/2026/03/28/6ws-6-word-saturday-challenge-86/

I was pleased to see the dogs thought about as well as the children. But my dog is like yours. He won’t wear anything! Not even a harness.
