Happy Howl-O-Weiners To Y'all

I love Halloween! I get to go to parties where I meed other furiends wearing funny dog costumes, and I get tons of dog treats just for being there and posing for funny dog pictures. Speaking of funny dog pictures, it's time to share Pedro's. I have to give credit to everyone who assisted in this task. Chihuahua puppies are not easy to work with. Ready?

 Roxie, the boston terrier arrived, dressed to kill.

She made fun of lil' Pedro, the chihuahua puppy, for not wanting to wear a costume.

She sweet talked him until he said he'd try.

But he didn't really try, did he?

He fought and made snarly faces, but in the end . . .

Pedro, the jester!!!

He posed proudly (for a split second) for the camera.

Unfortunately, Pedro wasn't the only puppy to suffer the humiliation of the cat costume (yes, it was a cat costume, shh)

Chiweenie Jester 

The chiweenie isn't so sure about Halloween.

As for me, Twinkie, the tiny diva, I already had a sweet deal in place. 

The Petco contest was the only time I'd be wearing a dog costume, and there was not a chance in the world I'd wear a cat costume. M didn't even try. I've trained her well.

The Love Goat and all of us would like to wish you a

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Funny Dog Pictures (continued some more)

OMD I can't believe how much havoc a tiny pup can cause. Pedro is incorrigible. He can't speak yet, but it's obvious from his demeanor, he's belligerent and pigheaded. He still refuses to put on his dog costumes! I've about had it with him. He'd better not interrupt me again.

Back to the contest and the funny dog pictures. Where was I?

Oh, yes, the intoxicated pumpkin got second place.

And then proceeded to make fun of superman, tsk tsk.

The yorkie continued to look adorable.

And the chicken . . .

. . . the chicken got third place.

Once again, my sissy and I didn't place.

I was ready to go home, but the chiweenie was rather distraught even though she got a full bag of dog treats to go!

Tomorrow, I will finally unveil really funny dog pictures. M and I got Pedro to wear his dog costume--well, at least part of it.

Funny Dog Pictures (continued)

Little Pedro, the tiny puppy we inherited the day the rhodesian ridgeback sibs discovered he wasn't really going to grow up to be a rhodie, did not like trying his dog costumes on. I told him to grow up and man up. A blog dog has to give in to certain humiliations. He was too hysterical to listen to me, and M is still trying to get him to cooperate. I'm back however to share more funny dog pictures from the Petco contest.

Shining her pearly whites, this is Gidget, the other butterfly, or maybe a pink bumble bee. This is one cute Yorkie in a stroller.

Here's The Chicken, not to be confused with my sissy, the chicken-weenie. 

Isn't that a fantastic costume? Her real name is Dottie.

Hi, Dottie!

This is Lola the clown. 

This is our second place winner.

Excuse me . . .

Much better. A rather appropriate dog costume. 

Hey, lil' pumpkin!

Meanwhile . . .

The chiweenie and I waited patiently our turn.

Oh, pizzle sticks! I have to run help M with Pedro's costume a-gain!

I'm terribly sorry, but as you can see, M needs all the help she can get. 

To be continued . . .

Funny Dog Pictures

I mentioned earlier that there was a Halloween contest at Petco the other day. There were many fabulous dog costumes, but I just now got to look at the photos. They're all hilarious, except for me and Frankie, the chiweenie, of course. The two of us were solemnly sporting swim wear, and, if I may say so myself, we looked fabulous. Enough! The funny dog pictures shall do the talking.

Frankie, the brindle chiweenie, was too anxious to get to the pawrty

I admit, I felt butterflies in my tummy too

Speaking of butterflies!

This is Bella in her butterfly dog costume

The sweetie came over to greet us

 Superman was there too, but he looked a bit depressed

I think it's because he got the boot

Or maybe it's because he had to kiss a pumpkin

 (aka Samurai)

Look at him stand up almost tall as soon as he got first place!

Then . . . wait a minute. I got to go. I have to go help M dress up Junior (recently referred to as Pedro).

To be continued . . .

Horse Show Dogs | Dog Costumes

The Santa Barbara National Horse Show is my favorite because I every year they hold dog contests. This year they had two categories: cutest dog and dog dress up. Our new furiend, Tanya, the miniature piebald dachshund, took part in the cutest dog contest and won third place. I think she should have gotten first, but that's how I am with my friends and loved ones. Obviously the Santa Barbara National Horse Show is an event that caters to horseback riders, but it's a known fact that horse people usually come with a dog or ten. They're all animal freaks, the kind we all like. Because the show goes on for five days and also because many great riders get to show, everyone's focus is on the horses and the dog show turns a bit . . . chaotic. Let me demonstrate.

The entrance to the dog show arena.

A bit of disarray, but fun to watch all those dog costumes together.

The dogs on the left look like italian greyhounds, but the purple doggie on the right is most likely one of those designer dogs--a new breed.

This is the closes this group came to being orderly.

But that didn't last long.

Ah-oh! Here comes the judge.

"Tanya! Turn around. Show the judge your cuteness."

Tanya had to be picked up to show her doxie cuteness, oh well, she still got THIRD place.

Congratulations, Tanya! What an honor for a miniature dachshund.

I did mention the contest was being held in Santa Barbara.

Our surfer dude here is practicing his trimming, but there's not much victory at sea.

Just don't wipe out, kook!

I don't really get this one, but I admit it's unique. Is that a hair net?

And my personal favorite dog dress up entrant.

Bam!

And the winner is . . . I'm just glad it wasn't a teacup chihuahua, look at the size of that wreath!

Crazy horse show people and their crazy dogs. We sure have a ball at these shows. Last year, after five days in Santa Barbara, I had had so much fun I went after five people!  Wha-at? They were in my face, plus this year, I got more respect.

Santa Barbara National Horse Show

We didn't do too poorly at the show. Human sister made us proud and so did the rest of our barn. I though it most fitting for the chiweenie and me to do the presentation. More Santa Barbara National Horse Show pictures and information coming your way soon. They even had a division labeled: horse show dogs! I got to see a bunch of dogs in funny costumes too, it was a dog dress up contest. I laughed my head off, but . . . I'll tell you more about it later, along with photos of the dog costumes.

Proud to be horse show dogs!
