Sunday’s Dog Masquerade & Food Drive for #SandyRelief was really fun and hilarious. While many of the dogs were humiliated or handicapped by their costumes, others really enjoyed all the attention! Especially the winners who received gift baskets with treats and toys. There was also a pie eating contest. Whomever ate an entire pie the fastest won the most ironic prize: another entire pie! Check out the rest of the photos on facebook.
Join fellow Greenpointers for a Dog Masquerade and Food DriveSunday 11/11 from 1-4pm.Russell St(bet. Nassau & Driggs) will be closed for for this event.
Pups are asked to attend in costume and humans are asked to bring non-perishables for humans AND pets.
The top 3 Best Costumes will be chosen, and the judges are: Assemblyman Joseph Lentol, Laura O’Neill (Van Leeuwen/Selamat Pagi) and ME! (what an honor!)
Adopt NY will be there collecting all the pet related donations to distribute between the rescues that suffered severe damages.
Saturday’s Howl-O-Ween in McCarren Park had such a great turnout of humiliated dogs in Halloween Costumes. If you’re bored of Sandy already, caption these hilarious dog photos on our facebook page before the power goes out.
Funniest captions will be featured on Greenpointers.com on Halloween! Be safe.
*Date change: Because of closing of parks for Hurricane Sandy the date for the parade has been moved to 11/4.
It’s that time of year again! This Sunday (11/4) at 1pm, Greenpoint dogs get dressed up in ridiculously awkward halloween costumes and strut their mutts through McGolrick (I mean Wintrop) Park, on this side of McGuinness. This is one of those events that make me wonder if aliens observed this what would they think about the human species?
My favorite costume last year was a dog dressed up like an air conditioner. Check out the video we did last year!

Do you think your dog or cats needs a blessing? Maybe an exorcism?
Let us know your prayers for your pets in the comments!
Our Instagram friend – @carolyn_petstylist loves tagging puppies and kittens to #greenpointers. We appreciate the cuteness! From her feed and dog nail art skills, I’m assuming she is a pet groomer.
I called it “pet” portraits hoping that someone would roll up with a ferret, snake or pot belly pig, but alas it was only dogs – lots and lots of dogs for the first two and a half hours! We can now say with 100% certainty that Greenpoint has the cutest dogs in NYC. Don’t you agree? Our awesome pet photographer got knocked over with wet kisses over and over until he ran out of memory (on his camera). Out of sympathy for him and his drool covered camera lens we closed up shop early.

Then Billie the Cat showed up (of course fashionably late) and wearing a bow tie! I felt so bad that we didn’t get a chance to take Billies’s photo – so if Billie’s owner contacts me – (greenpointers (at) gmail.com) – we will take Billy’s portrait in your home, free of charge, just for being the coolest and baddest ass cat at the ALL DOG photo shoot!
