Kifli and Lyra had a blast at Barktober! We didn’t put their wigs on though; they kept shaking them off, lol. There were so many amazing and creative dog costumes! Kifli and Lyra were entered in the costume contest but didn’t win. That’s okay, though—they hit the jackpot with getting lots of attention, treats, and gourmet pumpkin spice pupaccinos!
The costume contest winners (pictured) were a Great Dane dressed as a dragon, a shih tzu dressed as a bowl of spaghetti with meatballs, and a toy dog couple (poodle and shih tzu) dressed as a spider and Beetlejuice (couldn’t get a good pic of the spider).
Probably the BEST dog costume we saw, in my most humble and unofficially professional opinion, was the anxiously neurotic punk rock chihuahua.
There was also a trio of West Highland White Terriers there (not in costume). I grew up with westies throughout my childhood—my mom showed and bred them, so I have a special place in my heart for that breed.
We got bananas made for Lyra and Kifli that matched their costumes and had their names written in calligraphy, two embroidered patches to put on their harnesses, and a caricature drawn of Kifli. Then we took their costumes off and walked around Bridge Street and got a few more pictures.

Kifli and Lyra—I mean, Ariel and Ursula—are ready to go to Barktober at Bridge Street Town Centre this afternoon. They are excited to compete in the doggie costume contest, trick-or-treat at the puppaccino station, sniff all the smells, and most importantly, sass all the other dogs they see to give them the whatfor! Stay tuned for more pics and videos!

Side note: Kifli very much enjoys getting dressed up and posing for pictures. Lyra, however, is less than impressed with the concept, as evident in her facial expressions of the disgruntled side-eye and the pleading stare into the camera. 😂

UPDATE: CLAIMED FOR ADOPTION!

Betsy’s previous owner has provided me with an adoption profile for her! I’ve also received several photos and short video clips of Betsy (and her beagle/dachshund sister, Ruby). I hope this helps her next forever family get to know her a little better.
*Video clips are in the comments.*

**NOTE: Ruby is also available for adoption and can be adopted along with Betsy if desired.**

Betsy Ross is a young, happy-go-lucky corgi who loves to lie on the feet of her human. Being warm natured, she’s not much of one to snuggle with her humans, but for the first year of her life, she was inseparable from her doxle (beagle/dachshund) sister, Ruby. The two of them knew no boundaries from each other. They were one cuddle puddle at all times. Their times spent in the backyard running and exploring were the only exceptions.
Betsy enjoys a good run in the yard, but quickly misses being inside with her humans so she returns to the back door, perching herself there to be happily in both worlds.
Being an energetic puppy, Betsy still tends to jump up on people. She is intelligent and craves engagement so this makes her very trainable. I expect this jumping trait to be one she outgrows easily, especially with some targeted training. She’s most prone to jumping when she’s excited—when her human returns from being away and when people come into the home, as she never meets a stranger.
Although Betsy has never had a moment of abusive behavior, she has a bit of a skittish personality and is easily startled.
Betsy loves to play with a water hose and frequently waits in the shower for it to be turned on.
She knows the words “gentle,” “up,” “down,” “in,” “outside,” and other basic commands, but she knows them mostly as habitual responses. She likes her routines very much. She’s a great communicator really, using body language to express herself. No leash training has been done with Betsy, but once she’s mastered this, she will be a fabulous companion.
Her mind is often going 90 miles per hour, so training sessions will be more effective if she’s separated from distractions.
Betsy has been an absolute joy of a pup these past 12 months. Whoever will care for her for the remainder of her life will be very blessed to have such a devoted sweetheart as their companion.

UPDATE: CLAIMED FOR ADOPTION!

Remember Betsy Ross from Kifli’s Patriotic Puppy Pack?
Well, she’s back with the Laurelstead Corgis family for foster. Her adopter unfortunately can no longer keep Betsy due to chronic health issues from a rare disease.
I just had Betsy dropped off with me this evening—I will be uploading more pictures and videos tomorrow.
Betsy has been spayed and she is housebroken and crate trained.
I have and will provide all health and registration documentation.

I need to place Betsy as soon as possible. Please share and/or message me directly for further details!
