Halloween Dog Parade

This is smile inducing stuff. It's the Halloween Dog Parade in Tompkins Square Park. Alpha Mom used to live right there, but a long time ago. I think it was about 87 years ago. Anyway, it was before they had this parade happening. In fact, as it's been explained to me city parks were mainly used for drug deals and homeless people back then. The photo above is a picture from a previous year. I couldn't find any from this year that were OK to post, but there's a great Flickr set with tons of photos. It's All Rights Reserved so I can't post it, but you can go see it Right Here.

Meantime, neither Franklin nor I have Halloween costumes. I don't mind so much for myself, but Franklin would look so natural in a vampire type cape.

  6. Wow, there were some great costumes at that parade. No costumes here this year either. Not sure why, but we are very happy about it.

    Happy weekend.

  8. You've still got time to come up with costumes if you want some! Or, you can get some cute Halloween collars or bandanas and be festive that way. We always have a ton of fun for Halloween no matter what we wear!

  9. Hey Lola, guess what - my mama used to live near Tompkins Square Park, too, on east 11th Street. This was back in the mid-90's. It would be funny if they were there at the same time.

  14. Morning Lola,
    What a fun day the puppies must have had strutting their stuff. Great photos on the link.
    Happy Sunday to you all too and thanks for sharing. Many years ago mom ran into a animal halloween parade. The funniest thing she was was a 'rat terror'....dressed as a Harley Biker dude. All decked out in leather.
    Hugs Madi and Mom

  16. HelLola! Well, we would like to see you in funny costumes but as we are not so fond of clothing either we understand your pro-nudist position.

    P.S. We almost wound up with 'Pei siblings! There were a pair of seniors in poor health at the SPCA for MONTS but fortunately they found a foster home who just couldn't let them go. All doggies deserve love!

  17. Hi Lola,

    Those photos were a hoot - not sure about the poor doggies who had to undergo a die-job though, all seems a bit permanent to us! FH simply adored the cutie who was Captain Nacho Sparrow - what a sweet costume! Thanks for the giggles!
