Halloween -- boo!

With Halloween coming up fast, a reminder that chocolate is toxic to dog... the worst being the dark chocolate. It is important that we take steps to insure our doggie friends don't get at the halloween candy. Additionally, as friendly as everyone's dogs are, when the little gobblins and ghosts come knocking on your door, friendly fido may turn into killer canine... Your dogs experiences with people at the front door should be pleasant, so possibly keeping the front door out of their sight during this unusual night may be something to consider. Also, careful of those candles that may be kept lower than usual, in pumpkins, etc. Dogs don't have a clue about fire.

Let's see, some more new kids on the block...

Milo, a German Shepherd mix who was slightly scared when he first came, now runs through the gate without so much as a wave of his tail to his Mom because he wants to see his friends. He is just a puppy and learning how to play well... his best friends are usually Brandy and Bailey but he gets along with all the others very well.

Willie, an Airedale just joined the Wednesday crowd.. particular about the way his fur is brushed but other than that, he is just a trooper and a good friend to all, big and small. Willie was an owner surrender back to his breeder and was fortunate to find a wonderful home with owners who are working on his obedience training constantly. He's a good boy, that Willie!!

Brady Bruno, a red Dachshund, hasn't been here in a blues moon but will be coming for a half week while his parents are away... We can't wait to see him again!!

Dusty, the Beagle, has been coming on a regular basis lately, and loving it!! He loves to get his brushings because he is still blowing his coat and it feels so much better to be rid of as much as Gail can get off!

Chopper, the Rottie, hates having his nails cut but Gail plays this game and is able to get a couple clipped each time he comes -- no muzzle required!! He's such a good boy and all the other dogs just absolutely LOVE him... licks his face to death and he just looks over at me with that 'oh, stop' look on his face! Funny...

Enjoy!
