Katherine from the USA writes: "...Hi Chris-- Heres a picture of our pony..oops... I mean unicorn named "Moonshine" who is 28yrs old. He took 1st place at Petco in the costume contest. He wasn't happy about wearing pink and glitter. The man holding the lead rope who looks just as pissed as the pony is my husband." ONE MORE PICTURE HERE.



Oh good grief...

When I first saw the picture I was like WHOA! Then I realized that it was not a real unicorn and that pulling an all-nighter to study for finals was probably not in my best interest. Moonshine looks cute though, I would have voted for him too!

"Moonshine" is a most excellent name for a unicorn!

The husband's NASCAR jacket is a secret message to other members of the male species that he is not in now way gay... really.

I had a pony that lived to be nearly 50!! She was the greatest pony ever-we did costume contests with her too!

boycott petco. they are way overpriced and rude, and they don't treat the animals very well that they sell.

Looks like his 'corn' is a little droopy.
Nothing worse than droopy corn.

That is the funniest thing I've seen in a long while.

Leslie, look into small independent pet food stores in your area. I work at one (link on my name), and all the food we sell is better than the best food at Petco and Petsmart. Read your pet's kibble bag-- if there's corn in it, seriously think of switching for you pet's health! There are a lot of natural foods out there, but you have to look for them.

The pony is definitely thinking, "the next time you pick out my back hooves, I'm gunna poop on you."

That pony is priceless.

The hubby looks like he needs a draaank...and some Gentleman Jack would do nicely. LOL at the pissed-off MALE pony in the girly costume.

I'm sorry, but am I the only person who didn't know you could just bring your pony to petco with you?
All this time, I have been leaving my pony in the car with the window cracked.

stevie--i use my local family run pet store, and it is alot cheaper, and they will bend over backwards for me. and i know all about nutrition--unfortunatly!--one of my cats has irratable bowel and allergies, so i am very aware of the "better" brands of food out there. petco sux!
Posted by: leslie | November 17, 2008 at 10:29 AM
He's so cute. The husband looks really embarrassed. (Giggle)
Posted by: Micaela | November 17, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Why did they let a unicorn in the store???
Posted by: talia | November 17, 2008 at 12:54 PM
I've been meaning to send pictures of me as a little kid with various school ponies dressed up for Halloween for a while, but apparantly I've been beaten to it. But I think this counts as a 'the more the merrier' type situation.
Posted by: Jenn | November 17, 2008 at 02:50 PM
I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall when she talked her Hubby into packing up that pony to take him to a costume contest. She must have skills some only dream of **wink wink**. HAHAHAHHAHA
