🎃💀👻 LET'S MAKE THIS HALLOWEEN ONE TO REMEMBER! 💀👻🎃
This year's costume contest is going to be extra special, as I am dedicating it to the memory of my beloved Royal BethAnn Tilton-Levstek.
Royal has been such a huge part of my life for the last 7 years. She is my heart, and 1/2 of the story behind Blockheads & Bows. As Royal, Dean and I prepare to say goodbye, I want to fill these final days with as much love, laughter, and as many beautiful memories as possible.
Next week, I'll be spending my final days with my girl, spoiling her rotten, soaking up every moment, and making memories that I'll carry with me forever. We will say our final goodbye on October 9th at 9 am.
Because of this, I will be completely unavailable from Wednesday, October 7th, through the morning of Saturday, October 10th. I will not be responding to calls, texts, messages, or business inquiries during this time. My heart and my attention will be right where they belong: with my girl. I appreciate everyone's love, patience, and understanding more than words can express.
Now, in true Royal fashion, let's talk about the FUN!
I am inviting all our furry friends to dress up, show off their personalities, and help us celebrate the joy our dogs bring into our lives. Whether your pup is spooky, silly, ridiculously adorable, or completely unhinged, we want to see it!
Costume contest prizes:
💀 1st Place: $25 credit
🎃 2nd Place: $15 credit
👻 3rd Place: $10 credit
📸 Free costume photos for any clients of Blockheads + Bows, and for any park guests of Folded Ear! 📸
PAWsome nail trimming will also be joining us from 1–3 PM, starting at $20 for nail trims. Danielle is an experienced vet tech and is amazing with dogs. She was also Royal’s foster mom 🩷
This isn't just a costume contest. It's a celebration of our dogs, our community, and the unconditional love they give us every single day. And for me, it's also a way to honor a very special girl who will never fade from my heart, or our business.
So dress up those dogs, bring your best Halloween spirit, and help me celebrate Royal's legacy with a whole lot of love, laughter, and ridiculous costumes. My girl may not be here for the next Halloween, but her legacy, her sass, and the love she inspired will always be part of Blockheads & Bows.
Let's make this one the best yet, for Royal 💜
