Halloween Dogs

Thank you everyone for submitting photos and participating this year!

H A P P Y   H A L L O W E E N !

See you next year!

Contestant #024 – Kelvinator!

Congratulations!

Out of nine judges, eight placed Contestant #24.

I want to thank everyone of the contestants who entered their photograph in the Halloween Dogs 2011 contest. It was apparent that so many of you took time to plan and execute your shots. The judges had a very hard time making their choices because there were so many good photographs.

Thank you to each of the judges.  You did an excellent job. The judges did not have contact with each other, yet the results of their judging provided a unified opinion.

Happy Halloween everyone!

I emailed the contestant from our other last collar drawing twice and unfortunately, got no response. So I redrew today for the hopefully last last collar drawing!
Here it is…please email me at halloweendogsblog @ gmail.com if you are the winner!

Halloween Princess

Tonight I am a princess
my dress is made of gold
a bag I carry with me
for candy it will hold

The houses I will visit
will lie in wait for me
to see a pretty princess
and her family

With my crown upon my head
I ring the bell and wait
the door is opened for me to see
candies on a plate

For you princess, please take two
you look so very sweet
Thank you I say, more work to do
so many houses on this street

Tonight when it’s all over
When this night is done
I’ll dream of candy and lollipops
and all my Halloween fun

Halloween Wishes

Since this is the time for goblins and bats,
Halloween spirits, ghosts and cats,
Weird-happenings and witches brew,
These are the things I wish for you.

May the only spirit you chance to meet,
Be the spirit of love and warm friends sweet.
May the tricks that you are asked to do,
Be a trick to help you gain a friend or two.

So, by tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give them all a Halloween treat.
You only have one day, so hurry!
Leave a treat on the doorstep, then flee in a hurry!

THE ZOMBIE

There`s a zombie as red as a zombie can be.
Who is sitting outside and is waiting for me.
When he knocked on my door and said softly,
“Come play!”
I answered,”No thank you, now please,go away!”
But the zombie as red as a zombie can be.
Is still sitting outside and is waiting for me.
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
give us something good to eat.
Give us candy, give us cake,
give us something sweet to take.
Give us cookies, fruit and gum,
hurry up and give us some.
You had better do it quick
or we`ll surely play a trick.
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
give us something good to eat.

PUMPKIN

We bought a fat orange pumpkin,
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
and only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose,
a jagged mouth and two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
and we put a candle in,
Then lit it up
for all to see Our jack-o-lantern grin.

MAKING JACK O’ LANTERNS

Just take a golden pumpkin
Of quite the largest size,
Cut all ’round the stem, just so,
Scrape out the inside below,
And cut two holes for eyes.
And now fix a nose beneath,
And such a great big mouth with teeth,
And you’ve a jack-o’-lantern!
Then fix a tallow candle,
Just big enough to light,
And when it flickers, see him blink,
And when it flares up, see him wink
And smile so broad and bright.
This is the jolliest sort of a fellow,
With cheery face so round and yellow,
This funny jack-o’-lantern.

Hey-how for Hallowe’en!
A’ the witches tae be seen,
Some are black, an’ some green,
Hey-how for Hallwe’en.
