I would love to make it to the Saturday Oct 18 event but i work, just my luck.

My Cookie had such a good time on October 18 @ My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair. She got to meet a whole lot of doggies and as soon as she got home went straight to sleep, hehe.

I was there too with Mickey and Mallory!!! They had sooooo much fun. Mickey played Frisbee on the lawn for a good hour at least!!! He loved running around on that big lawn! He's still pooped today! :animal36

I can't believe I didn't see this post earlier... I would've love to attend one of them. Unfortunately, I have family coming over on Saturday, so won't be able to make it for event #3.:rolleyes:

The 18th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade
 

For those of you planning to attend the The 18th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade I is was just on there site Friends of First Run and the event was changed to Sunday, October 26 at Noon due to the expected rain on Saturday. Just though I would pass the info along.

thanks for the update LilDaysha

Hi,
No... I was soooo bummed!! I forgot my camera and didnt realize it until I got there!!! :(

Mallory was wearing a little pink sweatshirt with white fur around the hood. Mickey didnt have his sweater on cause he was running around like a beast, but he is a teapot (15 lbs), he had a red harness on, and chances are he had a big blue frisbee in his mouth! hehe Sound Familiar? :)

Yayyy I wasnt going to make it on Saturday! I may be able to go on Sunday... Hmmm I better get working on costumes for my two!

Hey MickNMaL lets see i found these two pics is this your baby ??

I wish I knew about the Regional section beforehand. We were at the My Dog Loves Central Park Fair and met a few Yorkies, but I don't think they were from YT.
