Howl-o-ween

This Halloween was weird. I don't know how best to explain it, it just was. We had a lot of kids,the 54 little candy bags me & my Mom made didn't last once things picked up. Hope spent most the evening in her crate, I would've turned into a positive training experience if I hadn't been the one elected to answer the door. Molly stayed loose, though I could've done the same for her. (like most pet dogs, she feels it her duty to announce it when the doorbell rings) I couldn't find Molly's costume from last year,so she wore one of my old shirts that said "Trouble maker 01" on it. I put a gray T-shirt on Kirby, but took it off him when I realized it was to small. I opted for him to wear his old uptate guide dog jacket instead. I don't think any of the kids that came even read it. (although one did-thought it said guard dog). Kirby had fun,and got a lot of practice for sitting politely at the door. One boy recognized him from me taking Kirby for walks and to the community center that's close by. This one kid, his whole face lit up when he saw Kirby and Molly. Kirby gave Kisses to him and his brother. They loved it.

My previous dog Uma was born on Halloween, in 1990. So every year, she greeted the kids with a smile and I told them it was her birthday and after a couple of years, the kids would say "Happy birthday Uma!" when they came to the door. This was our first Halloween without her but we had Rocky instead and he handled the pressure well. :)
