Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Ah yes....it is FINALLY Halloween!

I have a job to do today...I GET to go to one of the assisted living homes in Columbus NC today!
They are very nice to me and they will feel sorry for me because I will be forced to go dressed as something other than a DOG! Which is what I am after all:)

The only reason I allow myself to be dressed up is because it brings smiles and laughs to those I go to see. I could rip it off with my paws or my big teeth, but I try to understand that every one needs a good chuckle now and then....and well...if the joke is on me......I will just deal with it.

I can always get back at my handler by doing various things that get on her nerves...such as burping loudly when we enter the reception area where the foilks are hanging out....or pouting and making them think I am woefully mistreated....LOL

I can do either of these things and a few more, but since it is HALLOWEEN, I will go with a good attitude and make folks smile.

It is after all.......MY JOB!

Happy Halloween....Oh yeah...don't forget... my foster Mom's (Denise) haunted mansion .

I Went to School!

Yesterday I had the chance to go to Polk County Middle School as part of the Responsible Pet Owner Program through the Foothills Humane Society. I had to go dressed up for Halloween...but I guess that is OK
( SIGH!).

We spoke to the girls and boys about animals and how to take care of them.

I once had an owner who did not take care of me. I had no care, no water, no food...except for a few very kind neighbors that I tried to sweet talk into feeding me. I can still countersurf with the best of them...LOL I eventually wandered onto the highway and some kind person called rescue...my owner relinquished me, and now I have a great life in a new place with a new owner and several careers. I am a lucky GUY!

Now I want to spread the word about being kind to animals and taking good care of them because I know how it feels to be neglected.

We also talked a little about spaying and neutering your pets and how there are not enough homes for all the dogs and cats of the world. I wish I could change that....and I am doing what I can...one little bit at a time.

Halloween is Coming!

I am so ready for Halloween! Just think of all the things I can find to eat.....I just have to watch the chocolate as word on the street is that it is not good for dogs...

You really should check out my foster Mom's (Denise) haunted mansion . It is very scary and really cool. It makes me want to run and hide, even a BIG guy like me.

Denise was the best foster Mom EVER! Hugs to Denise and all her furbabies!
