October 30th Romp with Doodles in costume

[Carolyn Shusterman]

Who's ready for a little Halloween fun?  Does your doodle want to be something other then what he/she is? Come join the fun with or without your doodle in costume.  The doodles won't be wearing the costumes for very long, just long enough for the judging and group photos.  

Brunch: 11:30 AM to 1 PM 12430 Seal Beach Blvd.  Meet at tables with umbrellas between rows of restaurants (We won't be able to join the brunch this month but we will be at the park at 1 PM)

Romp: 1 to 3 PM.  Arbor Dog Park.  4665 Lampson between Valley View & Seal Beach Blvd. Driveway on the North side of Lampson between Rose and Heather Streets.

[Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau]

Beautiful group of doodles and friends!

Keef is sorry he missed the party.

We look forward to meeting Keef the cute 'purple hat witch' at our next Romp.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Adorable witch.  Looking forward to next time.

The rain goddess spared us from her washing.  There wasn't mud but the Doodles did pick up moisture and added some fine dirt to make for some muddy paws and legs.  

The UPS delivered us the 'Best in Show' (Sassy & Josie).  We had many really good runner ups. Doodle Tootsie Pop prizes were won by everyone.  Creative owners got big friendly tarantulas pins and costumed 'runner ups' got booties to keep their paws clean.

Fun time.  I just didn't want to wash my freshly groomed boys.....

[Carolyn Shusterman]

You made a smart choice!  Did you notice the mud on Sydney's paws and legs?  We are calling the groomer tomorrow.  

We just came in from handing out 163 pieces of chocolate to each of the trick or treaters.  The first ones arrived at 6:30 PM and we ran out at 8:08 PM. 

[Helga, Nimbus, Sierra, Clooney]

Wow! We only had 3 or 4 parties so far. Tons of candy left.

[Carolyn Shusterman]

The familys and children aren't from our neighborhood.  We had cars parking on our street bringing the trick-or- treaters.  Usually the candy lasts until 9:30 PM.  Hershey and Sydney were with us out front in their costumes.

All the doodles are darling as usual.  It was raining off and on here and also the set-up day for Assistance League of Arcadia's Christmas sale at our thrift store.  Wish we could have done both.
