Mutts and Co

So last Sunday we packed up the car and set up shop at Mutts and Co's 3rd annual Halloween event. Mom's rescue group set up a booth.



They had a great turn out



Lots of cute adoptable dogs



There was event a big walking ice cream there! I was scared of it though and barked each time it walked past me.



They also had fun games like bobbing for hot dogs. Look at my sister Starr get those hot dogs. At one point she was blowing bubbles. See June I keep telling you that you need to move to Ohio, lots of hot dogs around here.



Me and Starr busy working the cuteness factor at mom's booth



Think we are doing a good job Starr?



Lucas and Scarlet were also at our booth. The kids loved all of us.





Isn't he cute? He got adopted the day after this event.



A few more of Mr. Lucas because he is so darn cute and had the best personality





There was also this BIG dog walking around. He scared me to and I barked each time I saw him.



How cute is this little guy?



Relaxing before my big debut



Soaking in the sun....



and the fun part the costume contest



My turn to go in front of the judges



Working it...working it



and time to award the prizes.

Third place goes to..... ME! I received a $75 gift card to Mutts and Co. YIPEE! Puppy supplies in the spring.



and 2nd place goes to the banana and they had a newborn dressed as a monkey. Can never beat a dog/kid combo. They received a $100 gift card to Mutts and Co.



and 1st place goes to...the fairy princess and her dog as the frog. They received $150 to Mutts and Co.



Mom really likes Mutts and Co because all the money raised this day was divided amongst the rescues.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Friday Flashback

And here is the second costume that the parents bought me

I'm really not amused here...luckily this costume didn't work because I am too thin. The top was too heavy and kept spinning around so I never had to wear this one out of the house.

Burgers and Dogs Night

So...off we went to Wendy's for Burgers and Dogs Night out. This was so nice of Wendy's to do. They donated 20% of their sales from 5 pm until 7 pm to our local animal shelter. They also had a costume contest so you know we had to go. Dad had dinner there to help out the animals (and his tummy). They ended up raising $233 for the shelter. The crew also donated a ton of supplies to the shelter and made up a gift basket to raffle off to the customers who came. It is just really nice when big business help out the little dogs.



All the nice things that the crew and customers donated to the shelter



What? No Pirate costume...nope mom didn't feel like making me wear all that so I dressed as a fairy princess.



They didn't have a bunch of dogs come dressed so they gave everyone a prize. Here is what we chose. See the baby sized Kong for my new brother or sister that is coming soon.



Some of the other people and pups



Mom...where is my hamburger?



Then they had a drawing and the first two people that were pulled didn't want the basket so the 3rd time was the charm and they called dad's name.



Thank you Wendy's for helping out the homeless animals.

Wordless Weimaraner Wednesday

Starr and Samick sharing the dog bed...all together now... AWWW

Starr's Secret Ghost

So...mom visits a wonderful Weimaraner forum. They like to have fun and do secret exchanges all the time. This time it was for Halloween and called Secret Ghost. The limit was $15 and we all got paired up with another Weim.

Here is a video of Starr and I opening up her presents.



Starr was being her normal selfish self and not sharing with me. Hmmpff!

Guess what! Mom found my real litter mates mom on Facebook. She sent a friend request. If she accepts mom is going to ask if she can post his recent photo on here for all of you to see. He is so cute, looks like me but a bit more shepherd like so maybe I am a husky/sheltie/german shepherd mix?

Another Halloween event

So Saturday we went to Noah's Too Pet Resort for their 2nd annual Halloween event. It was a lot of fun.

They had a lot of games. The first game was musical sit. Mom actually played with Starr and got to the final 3. Can you believe that? My untrained Weimaraner sister made it to the top 3. WOW...go Starr and mom!



After that it was time for the Costume Contest...my favorite part



Me and my pal Scarlet were in the final 2



and the winner goes to.... ME! I got a nice bag from Pet People, had a bully stick, some Zuke's treats and some other fun stuff in it. Plus a week of dog daycare.



People wanting to take my photo again....I really should be a model



This is Pete the Pet Butler. He is great and if anyone needs their poop cleaned up he is the man to call.



Then they played Simon Says...I didn't play this one, I wanted to give some others a chance to win some prizes



Finally...they did bobbing for hot dogs. My pal Scarlet won this one and her foster brother Lucas was having fun (he is available for adoption through Louisville Weimaraner Rescue)



Here is a video of my daddy helping Lucas bob for hot dogs. Isn't he adorable?



Then Lucas got into some trouble and had to go to jail



They even called in the Columbus police to hall him off



Lucas was such a good trooper (and so was the Columbus Police officer for playing along and helping out our rescue boy)

Pumpkin Show

So last Wednesday when Grandma and Grandpa came to visit we went to the Circleville, Ohio Pumpkin show. It was very crowded. We watched a parade, met many vendors, there was a lot of yummy food (and people were dropping stuff all around). Dad kept telling me "nose up". What? Are you crazy dad? Mom had to pull an icky french fry from my mouth at one point. I thought I was sneaky but nope...she caught me.

Hey...someone else is walking me. It is mom's great niece Kaili and her sister Kenzie



Me with mom's great nieces watching the parade at the Pumpkin show



You have to check out Kelsi's BRIGHT pink Converse shoes. haha I needed some sunglasses.



Kaili and I with some of the winning pumpkins, the number on them is the WEIGHT...can you believe that?





Lots of people there on opening day. This is such a big event that they close down the schools for this week.





The girls with the world's biggest pumpkin pie



Better photo of the pie...bet me and all my blog pals could eat that no problem, huh?
