Pup-arazzi at Howl-O-Ween

I hope you were able to attend yesterday's Howl-O-Ween, the fundraiser for the Roanoke Valley SPCA, at Elmwood Park.  My hubby and I, unfortunately, have been under the weather for many days thought it was best to stay home.

From the looks of the Pup-arrazi pictures, we missed quiet a party.

Here's a picture four happy attendees: Alex Fulghun and Mason, who appears to be a pug, and Kellin White and Chynna, who looks like a pit bull or a pit bull mix. The kids are cute in their painted faces and Mason in his costume. And doesn't Chynna looks very pretty in her dress with her pink painted toenails?

To see more pictures, click here for the Roanoke Times/Inside Out Paparazzi Flickr account, and look in this Thursday's Inside Out section of the newspaper.

And if you attended, post a comment and let me know what I missed.

Ah, as my husband, a  lifetime Cubs fan, always says: Wait 'til next year.

  1. Hi Nona! I love your blog! Would there be any way to get a high resolution photo of one of the Paparazzi photos from the SPCA Howl-O-Ween walk? My future mother-in-law really wants one of the photos framed for her birthday at the end of the week (it's a picture of her son with her dog). I'd like to tweak the photo a little bit - just some touching up and such (I'm a graphic designer) and frame it for her, but it would turn out much better if I had a high resolution copy. Thanks for any help you can give me! You can just email me back if you wish.
