Can you blame them?
Have you ever seen a dog skip? Well, meet Ezio!
Ezio, a 1-year-old pound rescue, spontaneously started skipping one day. No one knows where he picked up this trick. But, since so much attention has been paid to the behavior, no one can get him to stop. He’s addicted to skipping. Just watch carefully below and enjoy!

Now, who could possibly top this Halloween costume?
I just adore this Golden Retriever’s Halloween Pet entry in a contest over at the Anchorage Daily news. She surely needs to receive the $100 prize. The deadline for submitting entries was October 28th.

This is Golden darling Rina, who is dressed as "Tails" of Mother Goose. The photo was submitted by Judy Fridono.
More Howl-o-ween fun!

Oh my, what must these Goldens be thinking about this nonsense.

What a Ladybug: 8-month-old Golden Retriever Maeve
This is really “princess” Maeve. According to her Mom Katie, it took almost a month to get her to wear this ladybug costume. It started with one-minute sessions, no less, and she still would not wear the antenna!

A Crabby Golden Retriever Luke
This next fun (partially costumed) event came to me from my Golden pal, Geoff.
A New Jersey Golden rescue he is involved with, Shore Hearts Golden Retriever Rescue, set a new record at the Chatsworth Cranberry Festival. Their “Puppy Kissing Booth” took in over $800.
Pro-kisser Joey did most of the work but she needed breaks and a talented Bullpen filled in.
Click here to see a wonderful Photo Slide Show. It is filled with Goldens, Poodles, and Golden Doodles! Geoff was surely very busy at this event between looking after his Golden Sam and Doodle Bandit, and taking so many marvelous photos to capture the event.

Golden Retriever Joey at work!
