In “Greetings from …”  in the Columbus Dispatch, the paper has “Postcard-quality photos picture city at its best.”

Columbus Day is a federal holiday.

Columbus Ohio, the largest city named after Christopher Columbus celebrates Columbus Day but here is no Columbus Day Parade…  There has not been a Columbus Day parade in Columbus in years.   The city of Columbus has a wreath laying ceremony this morning… at the statue of Christopher Columbus at City Hall.  Central Ohio celebrates Columbus with Experience Columbus Days.

Whose off work today for Columbus Day in Columbus Ohio?  Your mailman, the garbage men, most government employees…. From my understanding schools are open in Central Ohio with the exception of Columbus State University.

If you are in Columbus and lucky enough to have the day off of work, today is the last day of Experience Columbus Days.  If you are in Columbus and have the day off, you are in for another gorgeous day, how did Experience Columbus and our local weather forecasters arrange the weather for Experience Columbus Days so well.  Experience Columbus

Happy Columbus Day to Columbus Ohio.  Happy Columbus Day from Columbus Ohio.

Central Ohio is an animal loving community.  I have sold homes to a few OSU Vet students, they have dogs and cats and one had a pot belly pig.  In fact she was very active in pot belly pig rescue.

A dog loving friend sent me an email with this photo of wiener dogs dressed up along with a bunch of others.  Lots of pugs seem to dress up, chihuahas and other small dogs…. There’s a great photos of bulldog dressed up in a tux.  Wiener dogs are my favorite though and the “hot dog” costume is always appropriate.

The Capital Area Humane Society sponsors the Halloween Pet Parade at Easton Town Center next Sunday.   Dress up your pets in festive Halloween costumes:  “The event, which is in its seventh year at Easton Town Center, raises money to help the abused, abandoned and homeless animals of Central Ohio. Awards given include Best, Scariest and Funniest Costumes. ”

My dear mutt Buddy is morally opposed to dressing up.  He has a devil costume… a cape and some horns.  He’d rather chew the costume up than wear it.

Would a pot belly pig owner dress up the pig? Someplace I have photos of ferrets dressed up for Halloween…  What about rabbits? Do Columbus rabbits wear Halloween costumes…? The House Rabbit Society is active in Columbus. As a kid we used to dress the neighborhood cats, puppies and rabbits up in doll clothes, wonder what PETA thinks about that.
