McMinnville UFO Festival Pet Costume Contest

Zoozoo, my Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, in her "Alien Abduction Costume."  Makes me want to sing, "Fly me to the Moon." She won first prize in the McMinnville UFO Festival costume contest.

Finally, after many, many years of failed attempts, I made it to the McMinnville UFO Festival.  Of course, the main reason I went to the UFO festival is because they have a pet costume contest.  And I love to play doggie dress up!

There was a UFO sighting there like 50 years ago or something.  They say that some of the most compelling UFO photographs came out of that sighting.  Sounds like a good excuse to party if you ask me.  


Dress the dog up in a costume? Hey, now you're really talking my language.


The two Chihuahua (all Chihuahuas are space aliens, in case you were wondering) were in silver sparkly costumes and behaved like champions.  They took the coveted 5th place prize.

 Zoozoo's costume include a rocket ship riding monkey on her back.  I walked her out in front of the judges, put her in a sit-stay and then counted it down, "Three, two, one, blast off!"  


Then Zoozoo and I ran and the monkey bounced around on her back in a wildly comedic manner.Zoozoo took home first prize.  Yeah, that's right, first place.  A huge basket of treats AND a $50 gift certificate to Buchanan Cellers, a grain and feed store in McMinnville.

Fun, fun, fun …

Drinking Dog

Is it so wrong?

I must admit that I took this photo in October, so it's not like it LOTS of people were waiting to drink from it.  And, besides, it's Portland, Oregon.  Who cares?

Zoozoo likes to drink from the water fountain.  Yes, she does.  Good girl, Zoozoo.

Perhaps we should snuggle on the couch

Zoozoo snuggles?  Is it time to take a nap?

Perhaps we could snuggle on the couch for a while before we take a walk.  Just a little mid afternoon snuggle, okay?  Then we'll have a snack and another walk and sleep and snuggle some more.

Shush! Zoozoo is taking a nap

Shhhh ... be very quiet ...

Zoozoo is taking a nap.  Yes, it's very cute that she puts her head on a pillow like a person, but right now Zoozoo is very tired from playing and eating and playing some more.  She has to take a nap.  Nighty night.
