/ Dogs & Lifestyle

Spooky season is upon us, with Halloween landing on Monday. EEEEEEK!  I LOVE Halloween! Once the month of October arrives, the Halloween wardrobe is assembled – nothing overly exotic, just long sleeved tees that range in oranges, some with cute Halloween designs.

Paired with an orange hoodie and orange Chucks and we’re ready for spooky season! This is Blue’s first Halloween! He’s got a multitude of collars perfect for spooky season
