Happy (belated) Halloween

November
2

The city of Peekskill in Westchester celebrated the opening of its new dog park at Tompkins Park on Saturday and yep, you guessed it, they made it a Halloween event with dressed up dogs!! The park has been in the making for the past 16 months as a joint partnership between the city and the volunteer Peekskill Dog Park group. LoHud.com photographer Tania Savayan took these pics of the pooches.


First, Maggie, 8, dressed as a jack-o-lantern, attended opening day with owner Michael Sellers, a leader in the dog park effort.tjndc5-5rnj5edzng84zeoloy2_layout

Stanley and Cup didn’t go out for Halloween, but they did enjoy the Rangers win over Boston on Sunday, so their weekend turned out OK.

    Not my favorite. In fact, I think dressing up poor, clueless dogs is cruel. And dumb. Just an opinion. What I was saying about your blog was in reference to you-know-who. If I send him up here, that’ll boost up your comments.;))

    No, no, no, no and no! For whatever reason I’ve been very lucky and he’s never dropped by. I’d like to keep that way!! )
