Next, I dressed Maverick up for the Pet Smart Halloween Pet contest. Of course, what horse is any good without his two cowboy sidekicks? I was certain we would win. Certain. And we sorta did! Except, we arrived 5 minutes after the contest was over. The judge about died when she saw Maverick and his gang. She said, "oh man, why didn't you come for the contest!?". To which I said, that's why I am here honey. And then she told me it was already over. (as a side-note their website said 3-5 and they judged at 4 so I am a little miffed about that.) Anyway, she said we TOTALLY would have won! So, while we didn't technically win, we really sorta did.
However, now that I have tasted victory, I want to hold the ribbon or milk bone or whatever prize you get. So, I figure, in two years, when our newest one is the correct size for those chaps, we will go back and win the title! Next time, instead of 2 sidekicks, Maverick will just have 3! I can taste the victory....or milk bone.....already!
For Halloween weekend, it was off to South Dakota to visit my dearest best friend/cousin and her adorable little family. We had a fabulous weekend which was made complete with a beautiful night of trick or treating!
The afternoon closed in with beautiful blue skies which were perfectly lit by the fading sun.
Our 4 little spooks and their horse, Maverick.
Hitting the neighborhood for some serious business.
Leighton's famous phrase all night was, of course, "giddy up horsey, ye-haw!" which he said, over and over and over......
Nothing quite like sitting out by your fire pit handing out candy to the cutest little monsters around!
Chico......the next mixed breed.
The cutest monsters on the block.
