Is it Halloween Already?

It's been a while since I've posted. The lull of getting back into our routing once summer's over. Get up early, go outside, eat, get the kids off to school, run around the yard when they leave, come inside, sleep, go outside, maybe a mid day walk, sleep some more, eat, run around, snuggle with the humans, go to bed. It's a dog's life, truly!

But now it's autumn, leaves are falling (so much fun to run around in), snow in the mountains (can't wait till there's snow here to run around in) and the days are getting shorter. Halloween is this weekend, with ghosts, goblins and lots of candy. Of course, I can't have any candy; especially not chocolate, which can be toxic for me. So, instead of candy I get special treats. Here's a great recipe if you want to make special treats for your four legged friend: peanut butter and pumpkin dog treats. Try using a ghost or pumpkin shaped cutter to make them more festive (not that I really care what shape they are in, but you humans like it so go for it!).

And as soon as Halloween is over I'll be thinking about the holidays. They'll be here before we know it. Why not start thinking about what to get for your favorite pet or people. The folks at a tail we could wag have some great new items. One of them is the Best Friend collection. Not only is this a great addition to its line of collars and leashes, but they are donating 10% of their gross sales of this line to the ASPCSA®. Other new products are the new WALK tee shirt, new black mountain rope leads and new Harborside Daybreak leather tip belt. Visit www.tailwags.com to see/shop all of its tail wagging products.

Time for another nap. Enjoy your Halloween and be safe.
