I have to admit, now that I’m an adult, Halloween is not my favorite holiday.  I have the pressure of thinking up a novel and cool costume, without the payoff of a bag full of candy.

Now that I have a puppy in my life, I find the pressure is even greater.  I have such a cute dog, doesn’t she deserve an equally cute costume??  Well luckily, she may just be small enough to squeeze into one of the pre-made dog costumes that I found on the internet.  If Toki was a Pomeranian, or another sweet little toy breed, she would have the pick of the internet.  As it was, the only costume I could find for a “big” dog like her was a monkey costume… Let’s hope it fits!  I will post pictures as soon as the fedex package from Doggie Vogue arrives.

In the meantime, check out some of these Los Angeles area parties for dogs!

At The Healthy Spot (one of my favorite sources for natural dog food, treats and toys!):

Sunday, Oct 24, 5-8PM at Healthy Spot in West Hollywood — Count FluFFula
Thursday, Oct 28 7PM at Healthy Spot in Santa Monica — Howl-o-ween Bash

At The Urban Pet (another great store):

Sunday, Oct 24, 6-8PM at Urban Pet on 7515 West Beverly Blvd (just west of Gardner) — the Fourth Annual Halloween Party and Costume Contest

At Zoom Room Hollywood (agility training and dog parties — Toki and I attended the grand opening):

Sunday, Oct 31, 2-4PM at Zoom Room in Hollywood — the Doom Room

And finally, an ongoing costume contest at Centinela Feed.

Toki and I will most likely attend the Healthy Spot Howl-o-ween Bash in Santa Monica, since it’s closest to home.  Hope to see you there!
