Photo Contest Ussies

 Our local pet shop had a photo contest with photo fundraising sessions over two Saturdays to raise funds for two rescues that work in our county/city.

So last Saturday and yesterday we got put into our 'seatbelts' and off we went to support our local rescue groups, one of which is the one where Dalton came from, after being pulled from a high kill shelter in Texas...(Benji also came from Texas but not till almost a year after Dalton.)

On October 18th, we were Lambchop(s), and we dedicate this fun picture to petcretary's new Great Nephew, who just became one month old, a sweet little lamb he is....

On Oct 24th we were Tawny-Scrawny Lion, with seasonal decor, BOL!

One of these pictures won all around best picture in the contest! So we swon a gift certificate to use in the pet shop! How cool is that!?! Then we got back in the car to go home...and to be naked once again...which we find the best costume of all!
We got tasty treats, as all lions should, BOL!

I need to get back in the yard to snoopervise everything there.
We missed Tocktober so here we are showing off our belated tocks...
I am watching the neighbors do yard work...
I will not show off my tocks, sheesh, I am too modest for that, BOL!

Does anyone know what kind of squash or gourds these are, or even if they are edible? They all came from one huge volunteer plant in the back of our yard, where last year we had burned up a lot of yard debris.

We are joined with many others in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop! It's always hosted by  The Cat On My Head! Thanks Kitties Blue!

  3. That is one huge pile of gourds. If they are gourds they will lie out there and dry and you'll be able to Rattle them in the spring. Love the costumes boys. You guys dress up really great.

    I love both your piccie poses and am so glad that you won a voucher!

    As for the 'fruits', if no definitive ID is found, then treat them as ornamental gourds and definitely not to be eaten. Which would be a shame, because that is quite the crop! hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  7. We did a Google search on the picture and it seems they are ornamental gourds.
    You woofies look great in your costumes, but yes, it is much better to run around in one's Birthday Suit (mol).
    Happy 1-month birthday to Petcretary's new Great-Nephew.
