7th Annual Barkoween - Halloween always brings out the wildest costumed dogs of the year. And this year, it was particularly busy across Florida. October 26 marked the seventh year that Fluffy Puppies Dog Boutique hosted Barkoween with The New Barker.The emceeing chores were co-handled with aplomb by Kristen Levine, Pet Lifestyle Expert and Randy Price, radio personality. The one thing that stood out at the various dog-friendly Halloween events we covered, was that it seemed more humans were dressing up creatively and hilariously alongside their dogs. (Above, left to right): Gracie, a 10-year-old ShihTzu; Batman and the two bumble bees (being carried by a cool dad); Beauty School Dropouts. Cassie the dog was the dropout, we’re told).

14th Annual Winter Park Pet Costume Contest - This was a milestone event, as for the first time, dogs were finally allowed in Central Park. The park is located in the heart of the tony retail district of Winter Park, which is a dog-friendly destination. But the park itself has been off-limits to dogs for years. Thanks to the community, including The Doggie Door co-owner Brian Wettstein, the city has allowed limited access for events such as the Pet Costume Contest. More than 150 dogs registered to participate in the contest. Proceeds benefited Sebastian Haul Fund, an organization that assists with the financial challenge of transporting Greyhounds from Florida adoption groups to foster or forever homes. www.SebastianHaulFund.org.
