Maybe we should all ban together and create a BPO costume/clothing store??
-
OK folks! I talked to Greta and she is already trying on costumes. I was at Goodwill and there were many wigs and feather boas, etc. I brought two bags home and Greta went to work picking extra feathers off the boa right away. She is ready for this. We are going to participate in this one. Yay!

I'm not having any luck with Koby either, he can't stand to have any kind of clothing on him so I think we're gonna have to stick with the obvious and he can go as a psychopath!

Well we should start a club for naked doggies then. :)
Icerotti...I tried the devil ears too! no luck with either. I have one more idea I'll try tonight or tomorrow. If those don't work I think we may have to sit out on this one.

Premadonna's. :)
I love em though.
-
I sent mine in! It's last year's pic of Mia (hint: it's posted in another thread), but I love the picture. She's our foster dog, but we've had her over a year now. I don't know why, she's a wonderful dog - very obedient and loyal and very, very sweet. She adores men! It's so cute. She'll go up to men, put her paws on their legs and stare at them like, "I love you so much. Please take me with you."
I think we'll probably end up adopting her ourselves. We love her so much!
-
Only a fews days left everyone and I have not gotten many entries. Come on everyone. It is Halloween! Get wild and dress your furbabies up so that we can all grin from ear to ear!

Working on it ;)

-
Oh Funmble...your little baby is now officially on the kidnap list. Absolutely a doll in your arms there. ;D
And Brandon, yes. You have until midnight on Saturday to submit your pics because I will post the contest thread with voting and everything around that time. I can't wait to see baby dressed up!
-
he looks like a little person. Fight you for him.
-
Ok Lins...you're on!
-
Ok Lins...you're on!
And they're off. Bear goes deep and throws the ball ... whhhhhhhoooooo ooooaaaaaaaaa. ..49 yards way over Lin's head. Lin dives...grabs. ..eats dirt. Bear recovers the fumble and weaves through the field 20 yards...10 yards...5 yards. Touchdown. Â
Round one...Jamie wins.Â
Lin isn't out yet. she kicks it off...Gracey (the amazing springpawed rottwieller) leaps into the air and grabs the ball. Lady tackles Grace (we're not sure why...they're on the same team) and runs runs runs...down field.  Bear gallops nipping at Lady's heals...the crowd goes wild. Touchdown Lady. Gracey cheers and bounces. Lady slams the ball in the zone and wonders why there's slobber all over it. She stares downfield at bouncy Gracey ... Grace gulps... rut roo.Â
Round two...Lin wins.
To be continued...
-
Oh Lins! You crack me up!! You should totally be a writer because you are so descriptive.
Round three:
Lady kicks off and Bear grabs the ball in his giant mouth. As he begin to run he gags, and gags, and gas...confusio n strikes Lady and Grace as they stand by and wonder "Where did the ball go?" Bear gives on loud burp and out comes the ball. WooHoo..the crowd goes wild! A stunned Bear stands by and watchs as Grace scoops up the ball and runs...the wrong way. Lady is shouting at her to turn around. Finallt she turns and heads in the right direction only to have her path blocked by the giant Bear. SHe goes left, so does he, she turns right, so does he. Then without warning Grace dives between his legs and tosses the ball to Lady. The crowd goes wild again! Bear quickly turns around and gives chase. His length allows him to quickly close the gap. With one long jump he tackles Lady from behind. On the ground they roll over and over again. Both stop, Lady drops the ball and the two begin laughing. Grace loks stunned as her sister laughs with the enemy.
Two seconds later Bear is on his feet and he gets the ball. He runs away down to goal but right before he enters the touchdown zone he prances. He is so pretty and somehow outwitted the girls this time.
Round 3 goes to Bear!

DOH! Grace is such a dork she swats and tinkles on the 50 yard line.Â
Lady...get up baby! Play later...Win now.Â
You have my girls down to a tee. Like you've known them forever. :) Just like Gracey to run the wrong way.
I got a degree in journalism...t here was no money in writing so I changed my career path slightly. :) glad you like my stories.
-
Grace flies through the air. There's a string in her mouth...rut roo. She ate the ball.
The ref gets us a new one.
Bear wails on little Grace like the big ball player he is. Grace calls for reinforcements and Lady side swipes Bear with a wet willy. Bear giggles.
Grace, who got in the middle of the big tongues shoots from the ball of fur love and soars through the air and through the field goal to score 3 points.
Luckily, she's caught by the net...and is so happy to find out it's a net made of PIGGY EARS! OH Heavan's Galore. Game over. (at lease for Grace.)
-
Come on people! We don't have very many entries!! You need to enter your dogs. Remember, the more the merrier and the cuter it is to look at. You have until tomorrow at midnight. Surely you can come up with something! ;D

Round 3 goes to Bear!
I like the "gas and confusion" part. Is that like a "fart foul?"
-
Well, I changed my mind. I wasn't going to put Sapphire through anything, despite having an idea; but there weren't many entries, so...
Anyway, you should find one from us in your mailbox, Jabear! Oh, there is one other thing. Sapphire is so cute, she MUST come in at least third. ;D Kidding!
I hope your dogs do well in the contest, ya'all. (practicing for the move to Alabama ;))

Sooooo cute! I love them! Now where is Bava's pic? Only 5.5 hours left everyone... :o

Bava's friend is his new brother, no name yet.. We picked him up this afternoon. He is a cute and sweet little fellow, Wasn't too sure about bava to start with but they seem to be hitting it off now.
Check out these funny expressions, he just wasn't sure about all this :)

Oooh, a new puppy! Congrats on the new pup Brandon! You must post a thread about him with lots and lots of pictures! :)
-
Start a new thread........ about your new pup so everyone will see
-
OMG! How lucky is Bava!!! Why didn't you tell us you were getting another so soon? Now I have to make a trip to Newfoundland just to meet the two boys. ;D
-
Oh how cute!!! Bava (and you) is so lucky! Yay newfie puppy! :)
-
Congrats.. ;D ;D ;D I am sooooooo happy for you. I hope we get to meet him at the petsmart halloween party. Bava looks so happy, he has a brother to beat up, life is good!

Mellisakins,
When are you gonna post more pics of Bava and his new brother? And, I might have missed it but what is his name?
-
Maybe you should name him "spaz". More photos please.
-
Oh Lord he is cute! Look at those peepers!
he's going to be hard to name.
you should start a name picking thread.
-
The new guy is some kind of mixed breed, not a newfie. At this point I'm not so sure this is going to work out with this fellow. I swear to god, he is acting like a cross between a jack russell and a pit bull, and we're just not really into small hyper loud dogs.
I hadn't had my first cup of joe this morning, and he is jumping up in the air bouncing off of me over and over and over and over, oh and yapping. Tennis anyone? :)
We'll give him a chance and work on some training, but wowsers what have we done :-[
-
Grace is hyper too. She's starting to grow out of it. I hope he gets better for you.
-
I feel for you guys. Maybe he will settle down after a little while. I had one rescue that just did not work out with Sugar Bear. I knew within a few hours that they just did not mix. Nellie jumped on Sugar Bear he hurt his leg when he fell. From then of he would run and hide from her. She is now the joy of my brothers family, the second he was with his other two dog they hit it off fine. How old is this new little guy? Maybe he will learn to calm down from Bava.
Lisa
-
That is great that she is willing to take him back if needed. When I picked up Nellie the lady told me they would spend the night in Montgomery so If it did not work I would only have a three hour drive to bring her back. Well when I called back after I let he know it was not working she told me to give it more time, they had gone home. Then she did not answer my next three calls. When someone did answer they told me to talk her to the shelter. :( That made me so very mad that they claimed to love this girl but once she was out of site out of mind. I should have known something was up when she wanted to kiss Nellie goodby and the dog did not want any part of it. Anyway now Nellie is very happy in her new home. After that I knew the best thing for me to do for Sugar Bear was to get an 8-12 week old puppy so he could learn to play with a sister who would not hurt him. With his pano it was very hard for him to play at times. He was my little old man at age 9 months. Now he would be lost without Dixie and she hates it if she does not know where he is for 5 seconds. Maybe Bava needs a puppy with the same type personality that he has. Good Luck! Oh, by the way Dixie has dug up 6 landscape light and chewed up 4 pr. of workgloves.

Not sure on age, he was born under the office building of the lawyer who was fostering him, Mom had been dropped off there, disappeared for awhile and came out finally and it was evident that she had pups. The lawyer said that the place she works is industrial and dogs get dropped off left and right. That folks fight pit bulls there and use the strays as "practice" for the pits (that irks me to no end). So we really don't know his heritage. She said his mom weighs about 35 lbs and looks like a spaniel. :S He has webbed feet, like SERIOUS webbed feet, so he comes from some sort of water dog from somewhere....
Bava loves playing with him, but he's so freaking hyper! In about 5 minutes, he chewed thru a video cable and speaker wires, attempted chewing thru our projector cord in the living room, which I quickly made disappear....w e'll work with him....the lady did tell us that if for whatever reason it doesn't work out to bring him back....
