I really hate to see pets with costumes on... they just look so miserable.... but this year I have seen some really cute ones! :-) Kathy
Jeff, I've noticed we have more of pooches celebrating Halloween with the most adorable costumes, than Halloween decorated homes. Of course we are very pet friendly around here and we don't have many young children, so to a certain extent it is understandable. I hope you share with us the winners.
That little guy looks like he could just as easily be heading for the Sunshine State!
Jeff - I'm sure Howl-o-ween is going to be a great event. Wellington just had their annual Howl' at the Moon festival for our canines and I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to make it.
Oh those poor guys. There seem to be a lot of Howloween events going on lately, and they don't look too happy.
Love the picture...and love where the proceeds go. Woof. Woof.
Jeff, this looks like a howling good time just to be there...i love the pic that Jane put up...what a great cause!
Kathy - I know what you mean. Obviously it is for the owner's enjoyment, LOL
Ellie - If I can attend I will but if not I can share the pics from their website.
Barbara-Jo - he is actually an LA doggie.
Jeff
Jeff, I'm afraid that Willie the Labradoodle and I are living on the wrong coast!
Jeff I have an idea. Instead of pet owners dressing their pets in customes, we have the pets dress their owners in customes :)
This is such a fun event! My assistant participates in one around us. It is always fun to see all the animals dressed up! Thanks for sharing!
-Michael
Michelle - what a great name for an event.
Jane - great photo!. But, yes, I suspect many of the canines are less ahppy about getting dressed up than their owners are.
Kat - it's a wonderful facility and very fortunate to be a beneficiary.
Jeff
Jeff - Too much fun even thought probably not for the doggies... But we sure can enjoy them... Looks like this is a lot of fun and for a worthy cause.. Nice localism post Jeff...
