Sisters Pet Pics’ Blog

Peanut The Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie) (Click to enlarge)

You think I’m jumping the gun?  I don’t think so.  I went into a home improvement store yesterday and saw a display of Christmas trees.  So certainly I’m not talking about costuming too early.

So, there you are, wanting to take your dog out to all the costume events that some communities have going on all month.  Yea!  You get to socialize with your friends.  Your dog gets to socialize with her/his friends.  And all is well with the world.  Not so fast.  Your dog absolutely hates her/his costume.  Thinks s/he can’t walk in it.  Thinks you’re torturing her/him.  You abuser, you.

There is an answer, but you must start now.  PetLvr.com has an article on the blog, Training Dogs to Wear a Halloween Costume.  It entails starting early and starting slow, but stresses that the costume should be safe.  I know some of you are saying, why in the world is she telling people how to dress up their dogs?  Dogs shouldn’t wear clothes!  I can hear you now.  Well, I’ve had this argument with one of my sisters many times, but for those of you who would like an answer to that question, sort the Tags in the right sidebar for Costumes and you’ll hear all about it.  For sure read, How A Costume Can Add Quality To Your Dog’s Life.

Little Peanut, pictured here, is not quite so sure about this costume.  Luckily it was worn for a very short time — just for the photo.  But it’s hilarious, and we thank Peanut for providing us with this entertainment.

Okay folks, we’re counting down to the last two days of the Where In The World Is Sisters Pet Pics Contest.  You must read the last week and a half of posts to get all the information, but here are all the clues:

Our van is parked there every day until we get the floor done…then the contest will be over because we’ll be having a Grand Re-Opening!  NO MORE CARPET TO PEE ON!  We’re going to invite our puppies and male dogs to pee on the floor now.

It’s in a pretty high profile area.

It’s 3 minutes to a bridge to somewhere.

Patinas, sepias or black and whites – all nearby.

Photo hint. London is standing in front of our studio.  She’s a companion and one of the shop dogs of our very cool neighbors.  Oh, and the studio is wheelchair accessible.

You don’t need golf clubs to use this exit.

On the way you can get in the swim.

On your way brake for ducks and their babies…perhaps some geese too!

If you see gazebos, you’ve gone too far.

Don’t expect the sign to tell you where we are — yet.

Ten clues.  Come on, that should be enough .  I practically told you where we are, so take a guess.  I’ll be making the announcement on October 2nd.
