His creative Mom's plan. Carl was not a fan. His Dad picked out music to go with the photos for a reel "Oh no! Oh no! Oh-no-no-no-no-no!" You know the song.
I headed down, and what an amazing array of costumes showed up. Carl got enough treats down the funnel of that cone to hopefully forever change his attitude about cones.
His dad went as Todd Chavez, and his mom as a Cockatiel Waitress (from some cartoon thing that I did not recognize, but their costumes were spot on from a couple of pics DIL posted).
He won third prize. I don't know who won first and second as we left before the prizes were announced.
But there were a few we were pulling for.
This canine "Woody" had a human "Woody" with him.
This Butterfly gal was incredibly "chill". Not a whimper, not a growl, just so totally well behaved while her wings lit up and flapped!
A greyhound had an anatomically correct skeleton outfit to go with his human's skeleton outfit.
In any case, it was a fun outing for humans and dogs alike. Quite a few showed up, so it was good for the business and their co-host vendors.
Life is good! Keep on Sparking! And have a Happy Halloween!
How clever…Carltini….love it!! I bet it was a fun event! Have a great Sunday…Eissa7
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, noisy, and I got my fill of canine fixes! There was one dog that looked so much like Carl but was wearing a dress... and all of them friendly, humans and doggos alike.
DeleteThat olive and cocktail skewer are ingenious! Only 3rd place!?!?
ReplyDeleteHere's the original version of that song, 1964 (high school for me), not the TikTok version.

Have a super Sunday! 🤗💕
Yep, only 3rd place, and pleased to get that! We did leave early, and were willing to forego any prize at all, in case you had to be present to win when they announced. I love that song, and it was so appropriate to Carl's reaction to the costume, too. By the time he got to the bar and saw he wasn't the only one, he calmed right down and seemed to actually enjoy himself.
DeleteThat was so clever. DH got a kick out of that, too!
ReplyDeleteDIL is very creative. Her mom donated the blue cellophane wrap that "made" the twizzle stick!
DeleteOh no no no no no! LOLOL What brilliant costumes. And Carl looks great. Desite the . . . funnel!
ReplyDeleteGood that Carltini at least got 3rd place. Well deserved.

I have no complaints about 3rd place... first place was the Pirate ship with two dog and a human pirate costumes... second place was the well behaved Husky butterfly. All awesome and well deserved!
DeleteOh, how cute Carl looks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was impressed with how calm and accepting he became of that obviously annoying contraption! But it was cute.
DeleteOh how cute Carl looked. I love the costume! He worked the funnel well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day! (((BIG HUGS)))
Oh, he did work that cone for the "trick or treats" offered by various vendors at the event! LOL!
DeleteMy nephew’s pup is in a cone (skin allergies that he wont stop chewing on), I’m going to suggest they copy Carl’s costume, but I dont think they are going anywhere to show it off🤭

Even to answer the door, would be cute! 😁
DeleteHe’d bark people off the porch before anyone gets the door open.
DeleteThey DNA tested him, he’s more chihuahua(62%) than I am Mexican(51%)
-RunKeeper Dee
LOL! Yeah, Chihuahua could be kind of vocal! But probably a better size for the "cone" based costume.
DeleteWhat fun! (This is Val catching up anonymously) I’ll post some pictures of our Halloween costumes - my girls always like to dress up 😊
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'll be on the lookout for that post!
