The costumes were magical, the entries were spelled by Dean, and now it’s time to reveal our social media Howl O Ween costume contest winner 🎃

We’ve made our way through platform 9 3/4 and the sorting hat has spoken……ok actually we just drew a name 😉

Congratulations to our winner

October pet of the month is Walt!

Walt or Walter if we are being formal is a 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog with an easy-going personality and a heart of gold. He’s fiercely loyal to his friends, both human and canine, and is always up for learning something new.

As a true working dog, Walt LOVES to have a job and learn new things, especially in our weekly obstacle courses. Walt’s other favorite activities include hanging with his best buddy Eddie.

We love having our go to guy Walt as a part of our Barking Lot family!
