♥ These are THEE FINAL ENTRIES for the Annual ThoughtsFurPaws.com Halloween Pet Photo Contest! If you sent me a photo after 8 pm EST last night, it has automatically been filed for inclusion in the next pet photo contest, a “Funny Pets Picture” Contest to start end-of-November. Of course, I will announce the start of the contest-as well as personally email each late entrant (from this month) a notice that their photo is going up.

Voting for the Halloween Pet Photo Contest, because of the delay in posting these final entries, is extended to NEXT Sunday, November 5th at 10 pm EST.

** PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON THE ACTUAL PET’S PHOTO TO VOTE; click on the Responses/Comments section and leave your name and email address please. If you do not vote this way (or by emailing me at thoughtsfurpaws@gmail.com), your vote MAY NOT BE RECEIVED due to technical issues on the back end that arose this week. *** I cannot stress the importance of this…

And finally, at last count, here are the current leaders for the contest — in order — as of yesterday at noon EST:

1. TIE between Dakota and Angel (see 10/10 post for picture)

2. “Petey Honors Fallen Heroes” (see 10/10 post for picture) — Petey needs only 3 more votes to TAKE first place!

3. Brulee – who, to clarify, is a foster kitty and sib to the late Sweet Praline, not a “rescue kitten” as I previously mis-wrote (see 10/26 post for picture) – Brulee needs only two votes to tie for 2nd!

4. “Clyde the Native American” (Honorable Mention – but still gets a prize package) (see 10/22 post for picture)

This year’s selection of top Halloween costume picks exclusively at PetSmart stores and PetSmart.com for dogs and cats include:

(all costumes in orange are linked – click to see the costume on PetSmart.com)

Dracula by Martha Stewart Pets™: Even if your dog doesn’t bite, he can be a debonair vampire in this costume. The detachable velvety black cape with red satin lining will give him an aristocratic yet devious look. The body features a bow tie and an embroidered medal on the front.

Witch by Martha Stewart Pets: Let your dog work her magic in this cute Halloween costume. The pointy black hat and stretch-fabric dress feature ghoulish green ribbons and ties. Add a broom, and you’ll both be ready for the witching hour.

Basketball Player by Top Paw™: Take it to the hoop this Halloween as your pet steals the show in this MVP-inspired costume. The adjustable hook and loop closure makes it easy to fit around your dog’s neck.

Bumble Bee by Top Paw: No pet should be without some buzz-worthy style this Halloween. Outfit your dog in this plush bee costume that’s both cute and comfortable.

Pumpkin by Top Paw: Your dog will embody the Halloween spirit in this all-time favorite. The plush fabric comes in a rich orange and is accented with a grinning jack-o-lantern and a hunter green leafy collar.

Jester by Whisker City™: Cats can grace any royal court and join in the Halloween fun in their very own costume – the colorful jester hat and collar.

Pirate by Whisker City: Get your cat ready for the high seas in this pirate hat, embellished with a glittery skull and sword and feathery white fringe.
