The Great Pupkin Costume Contest

To kick off our Halloween, Julie and I headed out to Fort Greene Park and looked on as 84 pets dawned costumes and paraded around for all the neighborhood to see. It was a lot of squealing at the unbelievable cuteness of the dogs and the impressive creativity of the costumes. Fort Greene PUPS did an awesome job of putting the event together. Julie and I took a few pictures on my crappy camera phone, here they are.





There were turtles, nuns, balloon dogs, owners dressed up like their dogs and dogs dressed up as their owners. One of our personal favorites was the battered owner with a sign that said "My dog bites" and an ironically well behaved pooch who accompanied her, carrying around a severed arm all afternoon. If you want to get a better look at the costume madness here are some professional pictures posted by the PUPS. Fantastic. The weather was beautiful and Julie and I managed to meet some potential new running friends. If you missed it this year, I highly suggest you check it out next year, pooch or no pooch, costume or no costume. Hope everyone had an exciting and safe Halloween. Happy Running!
