| 17th Annual Halloween Costume Contest for Dogs |
On Friday October 24, 2008 they held the 17th annual Halloween Costume Contest for Dogs. It was my first one I ever attended. I really enjoyed it. The dogs were all well behaved. I only heard a couple of possible scuffles that were killed right away. As a general hole the dogs all got along well, tolerated the costumes, and loved their owners.
The sponsors were super. Sir Pizza donated their lot to hold the contest in and was feeding the people all the hot choclate you could drink. Hey it was damp and wet. A1 Rental donated a huge tent and the lights so no one had to be drowned as it was a very wet day. There were plenty of pet companies that were sponsors who gave prizes to the people that entered and to the winners. In the end I think I was not the only one that had a fun evening.
Here are just a few pictures of some of the dogs in costumes. If you would like to see more, check out my set in Flickr.
The Flasher
The Cow
Octopus's Garden (took first place)
We Love Our Dogs
McCain (on left) and Obama - not sure I see it however

LOL! i bet that dog in the first picture is never speaking to his owner again!!
Ell, can you imagine. Next time goes to hang out with his buds he is going to never live it down.
My vote goes for the Octodog!
Susie I kind of like the little pile of leaves I did not show but, yes I love the Octodog too.
Ohhhh!
Octopus's Garden is SO great!!!!
I bought a little blue stuffed animal octopus when I was in Florida over Spring Break.
I named him Bluto.
And he is also great.
Thanks for stoppin' by my place now that I'm back in action.
I really loved all your comments.
They made me smile and smile.
You are so great too, Barman.

Thanks for not revealing the quote. Yes I have used the linguine quote before, amazing that you found it elsewhere by me!
It's from one of my all time favourite films!
I think Gman will get it soon....
:)
Strumpie ... glad to see you. I had a little Octopus once upon a time (late 90s). Some friends deemed it was jynxing the Detroit Redwings Hockey team so they took it and turned it into a chew toy for their dogs. I never recovered from the trama. :) I do not always know what to say when I visit but I do try. Glad you get a smile sometimes. You my dear are the great one, at least I think so.
Susie I would not do that to you. I want you to have fun. I would imagine G will be around soon or after work and then, yep he will know it for sure. I could not believe it popped up when I did the search. It showed your current post (twice) and the old comment. You are somebody!
I suppose no one asked the dogs their feelings about playing dress-up.
Nick I think not. But dogs love to please their masters. There were a couple of dogs that I do not think we happy however. Good thing it was not Alex because I assume he would not put up with that nonsense. Then again this is a dog only event to try and keep the peace.
You are right, Bryan. Dogs are such wusses compared to cats! Alex would shred my hands and arms if I tried to dress him like that

I think I know what I'm doing next year when it comes to the dog costume contest. This looks like a blast! I remember when it first started, it was always in the morning at the radio station. It was pretty small then. My how times change.
Lol! Great Halloween costumes Bryan! :D
Hi Bryan!
Its rainin cats and dogs today. A good time to do some blogging. Now, I don't recall how long I've known you, but I have already done the giant pumpkin/tiny Susie thing and I will post it just for you to see!
This will be one of my giant pumpkins that I grow every year. This year, however, the gophers won bad. All I got were 4 little gourds. The rest they ate. Next year I am aiming for a 50 pound pumpkin...my record is just 32 pounds, as the gophers are so persistent that I have grow one pumpkin plant in a bathtub outside.....
ANyway have a lovely day and stop over later to see the post just for you!
Awwwww, Barman.
You are so sweet.
And I think I want a little octopus as a pet now.
I DEFINITELY would not have recovered from the trauma of my friends stealing my beloved octo-friend and feeding it to their dogs.
My goodness!
Very amusing. Lots of fun for owners if not the doggies!
