I'm not sure when Dogtober moved to Puptember but there were three canine fall fests last Sunday and we were beside ourselves.It was tough to choose but I picked the one closest to New Glarus, one of my favorite places for festivals, bratwurst and fiberglass cows.
It turned out to be a great choice because not only did I get a close up look at Christian Rock fans waving their hands in the air like they just didn't careah—or careahed a lot, including a lady who had fallen backward off a picnic table bench—but there were free brats. FREE brats so I was in heaven (no pun intended). The gray-haired Christian rock fan was looked after and fine, waving about like an inflatable air dancer when we left.
Back to Puptember.
There were two Great Pyranese hanging out in the Wisconsin Brewing Company tap room and this pup was one of the most earnest dogs I've ever met. He had the grace of a white Bengal tiger with the welcoming manner of an employee at the Lake Mills Dollar General. High praise as I've become a dollar store connoisseur thanks to my mother.
There were dogs in costume, the best cream soda ever, music and a gift shop for my cousin to buy "growlers." Fitting don't you think? I didn't see any growlers or prowlers but plenty of jowlers and one or two howlers.
Here's hoping you like photos of canine cosplayers because I'll be posting a lot of them as well as pups going au naturel.
Have a cup of coffee.
And enjoy the only Halloween dog song I could think of. (Because the dog is named, "Boo!")

| You know, Debra, we both made a commitment to this thing |

| Dog trolls, aka Drolls. I must have the Twin Peaks purse next to the unfinished beer (as rare in WI as escaping the Black Lodge) |
 |
| Those better be stuffed in chicken, wrapped in bacon and rolled in dead fish |

| You got a real attitude problem, McFly |

Hello, the dogs are all adorable. I love the cute costumes too. But, the last photo is my favorite. Looks like my old lab. Great photos. Thank you so much for linking up your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHe was walking around the staging area with the judge so he had to look at his fellow canines in costumes. This is probably his reaction to the troll doll terriers.
Delete...why do people put these dumb outfits on their dogs?
ReplyDeleteBecause it is hilarious.
Delete...for who?
DeleteEveryone.
DeleteSweet photos of wonderful dogs who need no 'dressing up' ~ thanks, ^_^
ReplyDelete(A ShutterBug Explores)
No need but it sure is funny and all the dogs I saw were quite happy to be there. The weather was sunny and cool and everybody was having a great time. I love to see events that encourage pups and their owners to participate and socialize.
DeleteYup, the last photo is my favourite. They are all so cute, all dressed up in their cute costume. Love the captions too! I love dog shows.
ReplyDeleteThat dog got roped into the judging part and being a lab went with the flow.
DeleteHow stinking cute!!
ReplyDeleteAll that and enough places to sit as well as a bar (with the best soda).
DeleteOh my so cute. I've never heard of Dogtober or Puptember. I sadly had to say goodbye to my beautiful fur baby last May and miss her every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile :D
There seem to be more every year and all happening in September. So many that they start to cancel each other out, which is a shame because otherwise I'd go to all of them.
DeleteHaaa! Oh gracious, these are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too, April.
DeleteLove all the cute costumes but my fav pic is the last - hide your face in shame
ReplyDeleteThat lab was so adorable, Carol. Luckily I was front row center and the light was good enough to get him doing that.
DeleteYou have a talent to see the funny - love all these play on words, Jeanna! These dogs are comical. And your captures are taken at the spot-on moment! Thanks for the laugh you give All Seasons this week! Have a lovely dressed up dog week:)
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm just trying to get the cat from ripping up aluminum foil he finds on the counter.
DeleteNice post loved the fun dogs heheh!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard Me And You And A Dog Named Boo for years :-)
Have a wooftastic week :-)
I guess the "Boo!" part jumped out at me, Stevarino.
DeletePersonally I think the nude dog has less to be embarrassed than any of the others, but that's just me. Neat event though.
ReplyDeleteI think he was embarrassed for them and to be seen with them. He was up there walking from costume to costume with the judge.
DeleteToo cute
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteLOL! What wonderful dog shots.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice day at a lovely place for a good cause too, Lady F.
DeleteHehehe, such funny dogs in fashion :)
ReplyDeleteThe sond I've often heard here with us...
Greetings from Germany
It's one of those songs I think about from time to time. They got more attention than the "naked" dogs and really seemed to love it, Mascha. This place turns out to be very dog friendly and lets the pups in the bar too.
Deletea fun day it seems. And you gave me a treat. Love that old song with LOBO :)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those songs I've always liked but forget about, Monica. It was my kind of fun, lol.
DeleteLOVE the dog troll...AND the very last image...sweet, tho, all of them! And fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah those trolls were a hoot and probably deserved to win but there was a one-legged dog dressed like a pirate that blew everyone away.
DeleteLOVE that last image and I think my dog, Lucy, would have the same thoughts. Have a blessed Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYou too, Driller. One of my fav pups was named "Luci." Short for Lucifer cuz she was a little devil.
Deleteps...you ask me about being a Denver Bronco fan and Astros fan? Well, I grew up in Colorado, raised my kids there...living near Denver for nearly 50 years. And now, being a transplant Texan, I like [always have] liked Houston teams.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Ahh, of course. For some reason I was thinking Padre Island which wouldn't be any better for you hurricane wise. I'm a Steelers and Dodgers fan and having lived in WI all my life have no good excuse for it. My prediction is that the Dodgers will play Cleveland or Houston in the WS, whaddya think?
DeleteDOH, I'm an idiot I meant to say Sanibel Island, so I guess I firmly have you in my mind as a Floridian for some reason Hootin' Anni!
DeleteI love it! I love dogs and these are all so cool. Thanks for linking up with NanaHood.com and I hope you will come back!
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty luck we had a perfect day for it too. Such a fun event and there are more pics to come.
DeleteThe one dressed as a troll is way too cute! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOne of the trolls even had on a Packer vest.
DeleteThose dogs are super cute! And colorful outfits as well..
ReplyDeleteThere were some there for a costume contest and many who were just hanging out. My favorite thing was seeing them in the bar.
DeleteThese made me chuckle, the troll dogs are epic
ReplyDeleteMollyx
Then wait till you see the horn dog pirate, Molly.
DeleteThe troll costume is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThey really should have taken first or second place but people love a three-legged dog—more on that later—and I went nuts for the Marty McFly boxer and he took second.
DeleteHi Jeanna, I wish I lived where you do! It's all brats, festivals and pooches. I very much doubt that any of those dogs will ever hold their head up in public again. But how funny. I love the Westie, it's not at all bothered as long as it gets it's treat! I do love your posts, you have the craziest festivals and why not? Life is short!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with the #MMBC.
xx
Oh not lately it isn't. People driving worse than usual I can only guess from the lack of reasonable weather and apple festivals. Hot, hot, hot. So very hot.
DeleteThat's sure a bunch a cutie woofies! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteThey sure were friendly and happy and well watered pups. The treats were flowing and the tails were wagging.
DeleteThese dog photos are so cute! I love seeing a canine in costume! Thanks for linking up today and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. I'm glad it was before all this relentlessly inappropriate heat.
DeleteOh some of those costumes are great!!
ReplyDeleteBut I must admit I'm not so keen on getting dressed up - as you'll see from my bee costume photos :(
But I love all the festivals and wish we had doggie festivals where I live!
Lots of licks, your new friend Morrie
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Morrie. I think you wear the bee costume even better than the boxer below by the archive list. You will be happy to know that costumes are not required at these things (just appreciated).
DeleteOh, who could resist the Chocolate Lab hiding one eye? My sister used to raise Chocolates, and they're darlin' dogs, although not particularly portable.

He let me take his picture while doing that too. Ha, no, not the one I knew anyway.
