Why do people say Trick or Treat? I think we should cut to the chase and ask for what we really want: treats, treats and even more treats. To heck with the tricks, that\u2019s puppy stuff for Saint and me. We are certified service dogs, and we won\u2019t be doing tricks for anybody. We talked it over, and my sister and I are going to ask only for treats.<\/p>\n

Hey everybody, Dusty here, and I\u2019m so excited for Halloween this year! I know it must be soon, because the leaves are crunchy on my paws. I can almost smell all the candy, and it\u2019s getting hard for me to wait! I haven\u2019t quite decided on what I want to be, but even if I did, I wouldn\u2019t want to spoil the surprise before the Halloween party. Last year, my big sister Saint
\nand I were a huge hit. We dressed up as cats! It was hilarious! I mean, c\u2019mon now, dogs as cats!Does is get any crazier than that? It was a foolproof couples costume, and it\u2019s going to be a hard one to beat this year.<\/p>\n

I have newfound respect for cats. Wearing these ears gets really uncomfortable.<\/p><\/div>\n

Last year was my first Halloween at UMPI, but lucky for me, Mummy teaches a lot of classes, and I got to party with all of them. All of the kids wear masks, and not just the masks they wear on other days. These masks have faces on them, and some of the faces are really scary. I hope there aren\u2019t any scary ones this year, because Saint and I are going to six different
\nHalloween parties in one day. Even better, some of the kids bring candy to the parties! When Mummy isn\u2019t looking, I\u2019m going to grab their wrappers out of the garbage. Goodness I love Halloween!<\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n
