Costume contest
20 Sep
I am so pumped. Halloween is almost here and just in time for Orson’s 1st Birthday (November 5th). I have started scouting out all of the Halloween costume contests he is going to be entered in, as well as planning his costume birthday party. For everyone else out there who thinks that their dog has a chance of beating my pug in being the cutest dog in Atlanta here are some of the places you can come to step up to the challenge:
The Reindog Parade at the Botanical Gardens on December 6th. Dogs adorned in holiday attire get to duke it out in the costume contest. The entry fee is a mere $10 compared to the lifetime of achievement they will feel walking across the stage with pride. The contest is from 11 to 1. I should warn you now, Orson is going to have the best costume for this event. My little black nugget will be appearing as a lump of coal in a stocking. You have to sign up for this one by October 1st.
Park Grounds is hosting the Urban Pug Halloween Party October 18th at 10 a.m. Although pugs will be the preferred breed here, I am sure if they have a sibling who is not of the chosen dogs they will still let you in.
The Little 5 Points Halloween Festival and Parade is going to have a parade and costume judging October 18th. I think this may be the day for Orson’s Darth Vader costume to come alive, although I have several other options as well.
Orson cannot be beat.

How much money have you spent on one-time costumes for Orson? It better be a figure over $350.
Oh man… probably. I have spent more money on Orson than I have on myself in the last year for sure. So let’s see… outfits, after this season it is going to be in the $250′s, but items o clothing he owns is at least $100. If you total that, yeah, we are looking at about a $350 wardrobe.
You better make sure you still have money to pay the rent. That spoiled rotten pug is going to walk you into the poor house!
