Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade & Fall Foliage at Brooklyn Botanical Garden

I don't own a dog but I love watching and playing with other people's dogs. So of course I had to check out the Halloween dog parade at Tompkins Square Park.

If dogs could talk, I wonder what they'd say about their owners dressing them up in these ridiculously cute outfits?


"Don't block the sun! Can't you see I'm tanning my ass?"


Wondew Wo-dog getting her cape fixed.


"Thug life."


"Headbands go on the head, not the body!"


Part chow chow, part bear.


"I see that Asian man eying me."


"The Asian guy is eying me too."


"I pee out soy sauce."


Chia pet.


Chicken-dog.


"Ahoy mate!"


Frankenstein.


"I'm sick of re-enacting the Civil War."


"I can't help it that I'm lactose intolerant."


Dinosaur.


"My drawings are better than your kid's drawings."


"I don't know what color I am."



"Peas have no personalities. Therefore I will sleep."


"My owner tried to pimp me out and when I didn't do as she said, she broke my leg."


"No, I will not play dead!"


"You smell horrible."


"Chicks love the Dean Cain look."


"Maybe if I disguise myself as a squirrel, the squirrels will finally want to be my friend..."


"I can't decide if I'm a leopard-lion with straightened hair or a rock star."


"Help! The lobster is attacking me!!!"




"I see dead people."


"No, your 150 lb. kid cannot ride me."

After the dog parade, I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden to check out the foliage. The trees are close to their peak colors. I heart fall!
