The Goldens RULE Halloween

I have an opinion based on two golden retrievers named Jake and Addie that Golden Retrievers might be the MOST successful with Halloween costumes. Why do I come to this conclusion, because @Thegoldensrule absolutely rule at Halloween and costumes! If you are unfamiliar with Jake and Addie the internet sensation of The Goldens Rule- you are welcome!

We wanted to highlight some of our favorite costumes by Jake & Addie:

We picked Kim their dog mom extraordinaire’s brain about how to kill it for Howloween (pun intended):

We asked Kim “What advice would you give for people trying to kill it on Halloween with their pup’s costume?

I really do! People have more time to make things and get creative. Our beginnings with dressing up our pup goes back to our previous Golden, Wrigley. The breeder had put the female pups in tiny tutus and it was adorable! I knew when we got Addie I couldn’t wait to dress her up.”

I always try and go with something we love! This year we have done some fun flashbacks of our favorite t.v. shows and movies!

With 2020 and COVID with Stay-at-home orders we asked Kim, “as a trendsetter do you think that people will be more crafty with costumes this year and what made you want to dress your pup up?

We also asked, what costume got people’s attention and make their breakthrough costume?

She responded simply with a photo and explained the significance behind the costume.

The Wizard of Oz costume was at the time Jake started having eye problems and surgeries. He was definitely NOT a cowardly lion in real life He was so brave.

For those who do not know the story, at the age of two Jake began to have significant eye issues. The vets gave them two options: Put Jake down or remove his eyes. Addie acted as Jake’s guide as he recovered from surgery and helped him learn how to navigate around with his new reality!! These two are inseparable!

What I enjoy the most about @TheGoldensRule is that the love between Jake and Addie jumps through the images! Their special bond as well as the trust that they clearly have for Kim pops through the camera is so prevalent making this one of our favorite accounts on Instagram.
