Long­time read­ers of this blog know all about Pas­cal and his adven­tures. Well guess what this lit­tle beige boy and his owner did this past week­end? They won the Wack­i­est Cos­tume Cat­e­gory at Dog­to­ber­fest Austin!

Pas­cal dressed up as Prince Pop­py­cock, com­plete with wig and fancy attire. He and his atten­dant (owner Stephanie) strolled across the stage in a cart cus­tomized as his own per­sonal stage, tricked out with spot­lights and music. The crowd and judges seemed to enjoy the dis­play, and must have for this lit­tle, ‘ole guy to win the big prize. He cer­tainly had some fierce com­pe­ti­tion up there.

The event ben­e­fited sev­eral local ani­mal res­cue groups and was MC’ed by local weath­er­man, Jim Spencer of KXAN News. Check out KXAN cov­er­age of the event here.

A big salute to all entrants, spon­sors, and orga­niz­ers. It was an amaz­ing event.

Gotta include one more photo link to a favorite cos­tume worn by a cousin breed (Pug) appear­ing as Mar­vin the Mar­t­ian. It’s a hoot!
