We can’t share all that yummy Halloween candy on the blog but how about something just as much fun if not quite so tasty? Halloween rosettes! You can “gift” you Dogster and Catster trick-or-treaters with some of the best rosettes ever!
We all know rosettes are fun but with these Halloween ones, you and your pup or kitty pals can share all kinds of nifty images like candy corn (my favorite!). So share some Halloween rosettes and the holiday fun!
Watch out, Cesar! There’s a new Leader of the Pack. Dogster Kitai is taking over the Today Show tomorrow as YOU!
Okay, so maybe Kitai isn’t taking it over but don’t miss him as he shows the Today Show folks (and the rest of the world) that the coolest dogs in the world are on Dogster.
Congratulations to Kitai and his furmom, Stacie!
