We’re reprinting this post for the fourth year in a row since so many of you loved the dog pumpkin-carving stencils.  Please send in any photos of the pumpkins you carve and we’ll post them to share with everyone.

(9/27/09)  So you love dogs and live in the Land of Dogs.  Being as dogmatic as you are, you want to carve your pumpkin to look like your dog but you’re not sure how to do it.   We’ve solved that problem for you.  Now you can get  free dog stencils that make carving pumpkins much easier.   And please send in pictures of any of  your  dog pumpkin masterpieces and we’ll share them with the group.

The stencils were designed by Diane Starkey and are from the Good Housekeeping website in an article entitled “Free Pumpkin-Carving Stencils of Favorite Dog Breeds.”
