Halloween Parties !!!

I just have to tell you about these three Halloween parties mom took us to. They were sooo much fun. Two of them were hosted by Animal Friends shelter. Those people really know how to throw a good party! The first one by Animal Friends was just up the street in the park by our house. Cousin Rocky came to be our "escort". We wore our hula skirts, and Rocky got himself a shirt to match our outfits.

Here we are at the official picture taking place.

Cousin Rocky. Look at his cool "shades".

It was pretty crowded, and there was lots of stuff to look at.

There was this witch, but she was a nice witch, and she helped us bob for weenies.


It was a fun day.

The next party was at the nursing home that our therapy dog group goes to. Maisie and I had just been to the beauty shop, so we had these pretty candy corn bandanas to wear.


We did a little agility show, and stupid pet tricks, and then we visited.


The third party was on Halloween night, so it was much spookier than the other ones. This one was held at the Animal Friends shelter. It was nice. there was a table of food for the peoples, and a table of home made cookies for us doggies.


This is us waiting for everything to get started...

After snacks, we went outside to trick-or-treat. And oh, my, doG, guess what was there??? Another tub-o-weenies!! I had two and a half, because mom pulled the third one out of my mouth. Something about "not being allowed" to eat three whole weenies, because "nobody should eat three whole weenies".

Maisie got herself all involved in the giant hay stack that had dehydrated chicken strips buried in it. Mom says she makes better food choices than I do. BOL! Look at her - her eyes are all glazed over!

We had to go around and find these people and do whatever trick they told us to do, and if we did the trick, we got a treat to put in our trick-or-treat bags they gave us. we had to sit in the hoop, and do a sit, and a down, and jump over a broom, I forget what all, but we did good.



Then, we went back inside and played games, and the last 20 minutes was an off leash doggie social.




We made out pretty good with the trick-or-treating! here are our bags,


and here is all the loot!


We had a really, really good time,
but I still really, really, really miss this....

Canoe Creek State Park

HOWDY DOODY DOOODLE DOOO!!!!! HEY! IT'S ME!!! MAISIE!!! HOW YA BEEN???
Morgan says I can tell you about our two trips to this swell park near Cousin Rocky's place. It's called Maisieland. what? oh, alright. It's called Canoe Creek State Park. Anyways, I get to tell about it 'cause I saw more of it than Morgan did. The first time we went her leg got gimpy, and mom took her back to the car and me and Rocky and Aunt Lu kept on hiking.
We knew the place would smell good, because as soon as we got out of the car, we saw this.

We took a walk on the Limestone Trail

and saw what's left of these old limestone kilns.


They are even older than mom!

Here is Rocky & Aunt Lu standing in one of them. It's sort of a spooky place.

After Morgan got gimpy, me and Rocky & Aunt Lu walked around some more and Morgan & mom went back to the car. Then we drove closer to the lake, so we could check that out.




Morgan & mom sat at this bench

and Aunt Lu took me and Rocky down to see the far end of the lake.



A couple of weeks later, we had to go back to Rocky's place for family business. This time we got Sunday dinner and took it to the park and had a picnic!


While we were in town, we hit that Rails to Trails place again. You can be off leash there. It's fun.







Now, it's Halloween and I'm supposed to say "don't eat any chocolate". We already went to one Halloween party, and tonight, we are going to another one. Morgan says she will tell you about them in the next post.
Happy Halloween! Your pal, Maisie

Slacker Mom Is Off Her Butt, So Here Is The Rest of Birthday Week..

Which started August 29th, but the celebrating did last well into September so, I am not really complaining. A couple days after my birthday we took a vacation trip to Cousin Rocky's house. We went to the Rails to Trails,




and hung out in Rocky's yard.


and snooped around where we're not supposed to.

Mom owns this lot across the alley way and behind Aunt Lu's house. We think it would make an excellent dog park. All it needs is a fence and outdoor lighting for night time play, and an enclosure for when it rains, and somebody to be on guard to keep the skunks out. Oh, and some agility equipment, and a flyball course.



On Monday,the peoples had a big picnic for Labor Day, with plenty of good food.


check out the hamburgers and hot dogs!


I had a hot dog, Maisie had some hamburger, but then, mom comes out with this doggie birthday cake, that she baked herself! I never had that! Homemade birthday cake, WOW. She had doggie smoothies too, apple & peanut butter! Maisie, Rocky and my friends Max, and Raymond and Rudy
had a birthday party for me. It was fun.

Raymond, me, Maisie & Max


Raymond & Rudy and their mom Carol- they live next door to Rocky, and are his bestest friends.

Rudy says "Hey"


And you guys all know Rocky, and Aunt Lu.

Rocky has smoothie brain freeze. BOL!!

Ok, I am supposed to show a "nice" picture of Rocky...


The next day went to this place called Canoe Creek State Park. And,we went there again about 2 weeks later. Mom's Uncle Mearl crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and we went back to Rocky's place for a couple more days because mom wanted to go to his funeral. Mom says we will do another post about the park, so, later taters..


your pals, Morgan & Maisie
