Each year we have a huge gathering for dogs and their “parents” at the main downtown park, called the “Bark in the Park.” It is a huge event, with thousands of dogs in attendance. There are dozens of vendor tents and tables, selling everything from collars that glow in the dark to special shampoos. They also hold a huge, fun parade with dogs in costumes and lots of prizes for different categories, such as funniest, scariest, etc.
Last year when we went to th Bark in the Park we took our oldest female, as she is the most social. We didn’t enter her in the parade, as we didn’t know how she was going to react to being around all those other dogs and all those people, but she did great and I think she had as much fun as we did. So this year when we go back we want to find a great costume for her and dress her up to be in the parade.
The wife found a great site on the internet called “Costume Cauldron” that has hundreds of Halloween Costumes, including a great selection of pet costumes. This one is my favorite, the “watch dog”:
But the wife says it is too corney and she wants something a little more unusual. At the moment she is favoring the hula girl costume, as our dog loves to dance around on her back legs and we are thinking that would be a great gimmick for when we get in front of the judges stand, to play some hula or limbo music on a little boom box and get her to dance in her hula skirt outfit.
To add to the theme, the wife wants to get a hula costume from the same site for herself and a flower lei. That sounds like great fun and we’ll order them both now so we have them in plenty of time for the parade. The wife found a secret backdoor that gives people who know about it a great discount on costume orders. all you have to do is go to the website’s homepage, and look halfway down on the right side to click on the brown comma in the line that reads “Our store now has over 8,000 masquerade items . . .”
