The Domain in Austin is holding a dog event next weekend. I visited the website and now I'm thinking that the pumpkin outfit for Stevie and the orange Halloween bandanna for Mattie are not going to turn a single head in their direction.
It's been a few years since we participated in any type of group dog activity, but once upon a time we used to do the Mighty Texas Dog Walk (pugs in wagons was what it really looked like) that benefited the Texas Hearing and Service Dogs group. Pug Rescue and Hound Rescue, Little Paws and Small Chance Rescue are just half of the 8 rescue groups benefiting from this year's event.
I saw the pug CHUNK on their rescue page. He used to be 60 something pounds and now he needs a home. :)
I'm not a bit afraid to take Mattie out to a gathering of this type. She always makes her parents proud. She has almost fully conquered her fears of EVERYTHING. Especially if we are all there together as a group. Stevie has the cute factor, but he behaves like a puppy, always. His big selling point is he isn't afraid of anything. It brings out a side in Mattie that we love. She wanted to play with Ollie and Bart when she first became ours...but senior pugs sleep, not play. She and Stevie are a pair now. Brother and Sister. Our first dog themed event as a family.
Black and white...fur with orange Halloween bandannas and black and white.....clothes with orange Halloween bandannas. Maybe understated is the way to go.

NXNW is having Oktoberfest this weekend with a dog costume contest! We might check it out...Tru either a jailbird a fisherman or a hot dog and Harry a longhorn fan because he is terrified of costumes! We might also see you next weekend where Harry acts really tough around strangers and Tru ignores and acts like he's better than everyone *sigh*
