Oct. 27, 2007 - Columbus Canines in Costume

man wrestles with the devil and a ferret...

Cute?

Look at the 2007 Pet Costume Contest - Slide Show on The Columbus Dispatch website for fourteen fabulously costumed canines and a ferret. The ferret is dressed as a pirate if cute canines in costumes are not enough to catch your interest.

Looking at the photo of the ferret on page one of the D section today, I thought it was a cat. I believe the other 14 photos are Columbus canines in Halloween costumes. No cats.

Raul the contest winner is dressed as Henry VIII complete with wives heads (doll heads.) Raul is an English Bulldog according to the article by Joe Blundo of The Columbus Dispatch.

The second prize winner, Beau, a French mastiff is a Devil costume. As the judges noted Beau has the right expression. That ferret took third. Tomorrow is the pet parade at Easton benefiting the Capital Area Humane Society and the Muttster Mash at Fitzgeralds on Bethel Road benefiting the Franklin County Dog Shelter.

My favorite in the costume competition for the Columbus Dispatch is toward the end of the slide show the bulldog (?) dressed as a pirate... although the OSU coach is clever... and the dog as a race horse is clever... and that strawberry. They've all amazing.

Pirates seem popular this year for pets.

For the full story, owners and pet's names, breeds, the story of why the ferret's pirate eye patch is so appropriated read Pet Costume Contest - Pet projects in The Columbus Dispatch...

The photo above IS NOT an award winning costumed canine. That's my dog... he does not like to dress up. He'd rather chew up the devil costume than wear it. That photo is very old... as is the dog now. We don't even wrestle with him over wearing a costume anymore. He won.
