October is jam packed with tons of canine fun events, with Sat the 26th probably being the busiest day of the year in the doggie social calendar. Start thinking about a costume for your pooch for Howl-a-ween. If you get desperate enough, you can always spray paint a yellow circle on a white Tshirt and go as a fried egg.
