The Great Pumpkin Weigh Off
In Half Moon Bay, they had the 33rd annual Safeway Championship Weigh Off. The winning pumpkin was 1,223 pounds!!! That is like having 37 little Hana Dogs like me stand on a scale! I don't think Pam and Ken are as heavy as these mammoths, are they Ivy? Whoever owns the big pumpkin should make pumpkin pie to share with us doggies, dontcha think? (I'm beginning to sound like Isabella.)
Here are some pictures I've copied from the SF Chronicle web site

Great pics, Hana, I agree the most important thing from a doggie point of view is - when can I eat it??

Those dice ones look very interesting though!
