Vintage Wrestlers for Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Technically I may be a few days late, but my costume this year was just too much fun not to share with everyone. It’s also been quite some time since I’ve actually published a new blog post (sorry!), but I’ve been just having such a blast with so many adventures over the past few years that it’s been hard to keep up. But if you really want to make sure you haven’t missed a thing, be sure to follow along with me on Facebook & Instagram.

Now I give you my 2019 Family Halloween Costume……

We decided to go all out with a group theme this year channeling our inner 80s/90s wrestlers with Jake the Snake, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan. I of course was the famous Rowdy Roddy Piper!

Completely handmade by my mom and dad, this year’s costume was just too much fun. Sparked by my littlest sister’s awesome bleach blonde mullet, she was just too perfect for the part of Hulk Hogan. I’m not quite sure how we will top this one for next year!

Happy Halloween! Keep on Wrestling!

Adventures in Candyland

Halloween has always been sort of a big deal at my house. My parents have helped me hand-make many elaborate costumes over the years and we always throw an elaborate party at my house. This year was no exception. So without further ado, I give you my 2017 Halloween costume…

King Candy from Candyland!

All mom had to say was that I get to wear a crown and carry a cool scepter and I was on board.

But Candyland isn’t quite as fun without someone to help you rule the land.

So Princess Lolly made an appearance as well!

Princess Lolly was minus her crown (because to no ones surprise she hated how it messed up her hair), but she did come bearing candy (aka dog cookies).

We had a blast making our way to the Candy Kingdom.

Until someone ran out of “candy” and suddenly neither of us cared who got to the castle first.

Adventures with Pumpkins

Adventures with Pumpkins

Ok, so I know Halloween is over and it’s now November, but I just had to share one final “October” adventure that I just know you’ll love.

Adventures with Pumpkins

See just before Halloween my mom and dad found this new orchard near my house that is super dog friendly! Because surprisingly most orchards in my area don’t allow pets, which is very odd to me.

*side note – I always call ahead when planning an adventure to find out if I’m allowed to accompany my family. You’d be surprised how pet friendly some places can be if you just ask first!

Adventures with Pumpkins

So I was thrilled to find out that I was allowed to accompany my family into the fields to pick out our pumpkins this year.

Adventures with Pumpkins

Next year I’m totally going to pick apples with my sister too! I’m just waiting for her to get a little taller so I can get a boost up in that tree!

Adventures with Pumpkins

Picking out pumpkins for everyone in the family wasn’t enough, because when it’s Halloween you have to carve them!

Adventures with Pumpkins

But since my sister is too little, and I have paws, that left mom and dad to do the dirty work. Don’t worry, I barked directions at them the whole time.

Adventures with Pumpkins

Adventures with Pumpkins

A short while later we had 4 pumpkins ready and waiting to be lit for Halloween night!

Granted they may not have been quite as elaborate as years past, but when you’re trying to squeeze in some pumpkin carving while your sister naps it’s about as good as it gets.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Disclaimer: I was given a product from Chewy in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I bet you’re wondering why I’m dressed like a lobster today instead of in my super cool Team Zissou costume. Well there is a very good reason.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

See even though it’s Halloween I can’t go trick or treating, mostly because candy is apparently not good for us dogs. Which is totally unfair if you ask me.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

So instead I’ll be staying home tonight and handing out my own treats, these fun Boo Bars from Chewy.com

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Boo Bars made by Blue Buffalo are:

  • Oven-baked for a mouth-watering taste of pumpkin & cinnamon, and made with wholesome grains, fruits and veggies
  • Jam-packed with omegas and antioxidants for a healthy skin and coat and strong immune system
  • Made with no chicken/poultry by-product meals, just real ingredients
  • Don’t have any corn, wheat or soy, so it’s great for pups with food allergies
  • Contain no artificial preservatives, colors or flavors, just natural dog treats enhanced with added vitamins

And according to me, they taste delicious!

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

So now back to why I have this lobster costume one. See these treats tasted so good that I was worried all the little ghosts and goblins were going to gobble them up tonight. So to make sure there is plenty leftover for me I wore this lobster costume with scary CLAWS that can pinch anyone that tries to take all the cookies! Smart thinking right?

Nobody better try and steal my cookies! Just in case your dog feels the same way about their Halloween treats, you can grab them their own at Chewy.com.
