HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!

Mom took me to a fabulous party tonight at the Animal Friends shelter so that I could go trick-or-treating. There was a doggie social and treats and snacks for everybody - dogs included!.


Then the staff people took us 10 at a time on the walking trails that go through the woods. The paths were lit by candle luminaries, and there were different stations where a person told you what trick to do to get a treat. We had to sit, lay down, spin, walk backwards, heel, and a bunch of other stuff - I forget all of it, but it was fun.
Then, back at the shelter we played games. I won a game of musical hula hoops and got a really nice picture frame.


This is my "loot"!!

My Kitties... Laura & Josie

So, now my kitties are all like,
"where are our pictures ???"

Cats are such fussbugets!


This is my kitty sister Laura:

Cousin Annie

I heard from cousin Annie today. She is Cousin Rocky's kitty sister. Shes seems a little miffed that she was not included in my blog. Annie didn't come from a shelter. She just wandered out of the woods one day when Aunt Lu was on a hike and refused to leave her side. She was just a little squirt.
Don't even ask me how I know this, but, SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO BE HERDED!
Oh, and I am supposed to say she's pretty, and post these pictures:

New cousin!

October is adopt a shelter dog month. My cousin Rocky, who was once a shelter dog, is pleased to annouce the arrival of BISKET, his new kitty brother, who is now a former shelter kitty! So, at Rockys house it's "adopt a shelter kitty for your shelter dog month". I hope to meet Bisket soon (wonder how he feels about being herded??)

School Party

<


On Friday night I went to the
Splash and Dash K-9 Sports halloween party. We had our pictures taken, bobbed for weenies, played doggie tic-tac-toe, did a "catch the food" game, had a costume contest, and there was an agility course all set up for free run-thrus. Good snacks too. It was my kind of party! Lots of running around and some "brain work".

Here are some pics:

Mailmen!

My afternoons got more interesting the rest of the week. On Thursday, Joe, the mailman, came by to visit and brought his dog Sugar for me to meet! We took Sugar for a walk around the neighborhood so she could see where her dad works.

I was happy to finally see Joe this week, and Sugar and I had a good time. I hope she comes back to visit again.
















Then, on Friday, I got another surprise - Bill the mailman! Bill used to bring the mail pretty often till he got his own route. In fact, he was my very first visitor when I got here as a pup! Turns out he was the fill-in for Joe on Friday and Saturday, and I sure was glad to see him again.

Crappy mail service..

I am very dissatisfied with our mail service this week. Joe, my favorite mailman, is on vacation, and an assortment of fill-ins have been bringing the mail. Now, I have been in my play yard every day this week when the mail arrives. Have any of them talked to me? played with me? brought me a cookie?... NO!

I bark, I jump, I look cute, I bark louder, I jump higher... what do they do? They just give mom the mail and leave! Jeez.
