Trick or Treat!

Halloween presents its own set of challenges for dogs.  First there are all these children at the door, in costume.  Dogs see shapes and many of these shapes are scary to them.

Second, kids tend to leave chocolate all over the street after their treat or treating.  So walking the dogs after several waves of children at the door is a challenge.  It's like navigating a slalom course, weaving between the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and the Snicker's Bars.

Third, in return for the dogs being scared of the children, the kids are scared of the dogs.  Big noses, barking, tails wagging.

I always have dog bones for the dogs who accompany the parents and children....unless my own goblins get to them first!

Happy Halloween!
