Hollow - weeny

Dad has been watching a scary show

called Sleepy Hollow.

I don't like it.

End of topic.

I am a taco this year for trick-or-treat.

This license plate seems appropriate for the season.

(It's funny what people pay money for to individualize their car.)

Mom read/sang me a classic bedtime story.

Click on the movie to hear

"It's Halloween" by Jack Prelutsky.

My human sister and brother both used it to learn how to read.

I wonder if it will work for me.

Mom bought 750 pieces of candy for the trick-or-treaters.

She hopes it's enough!

I wish I could eat candy!

The colors of the leaves are really pretty around town.

Mom took a drive on Sheridan Road and made a time-lapse video.

Check it out!

I like crunching through the leaves 

but I need to be careful around one section of this fence.

When I walk uptown I like to get a drink:

I have a new walk routine.

I like to go down the SLIDE at the park!

Check it out:

When the leaves turn brown and fall down

~ WOW ~

do they take a long time to rake!

We found this gas light around the corner from our house.

Does anyone else think the sign inside it looks like it was made in the '70s?

Does anyone else think this photo in black and white makes it look creepy?

It's near this address sign. 

I like these people's taste in design.

Speaking of creepy...

How about this black and white shot for an Alfred Hitchcock moment???

This is a tree in my backyard around 7:30 a.m. recently.

They were calling to each other so loud it sounded like a machine!

Watch the video of when all the BIRDS flew away!

Did any of you howl at the full moon we had a few days ago?

I bet this guy did.

(That's my backyard too...)

Have you gotten to a farm to buy fall decorations yet?

Has anyone else seen these at IKEA?

I think every baby needs one!

I got to go to the dog park with some buddies. 

Check out the cloud rainbow!

Mom met this puppy when she was on a walk the other day.

Ends up it was born at this Alpaca farm

- which is about 300 miles away -

and where Mom and Dad just went this past weekend!

Ya gotta love the dog hanging out where it says no dogs are allowed.

Mom bought this bank. 

She's saving her change for her next trip to India.

If you don't know about it yet - ask her!

I like this quote.

It's funny.

Here's some good books:

What on earth is this thing?

I like to be on my human brother's lap on the IKEA couch 

when the TV is showing scary images.

No, I am not allowed up there.

And your point is?

Remember to PAWS and think before you dive into that leftover candy!

Drop me a line sometime. 

I like reading email.

P.S.  Has any of this stuff shown up at your home yet?

Mom decided to start wrapping presents 

and I protected her from this weapon.

P.P.S.

(Duh.)

When the cat's away...

 WAIT JUST A MINUTE! 

What cat? 

Oh, yeah, I forgot, that's an expression.

Well then, yes, while Mom and Dad took my human sister to college 

my human brother and I had a par-tay!

And I got some quality butt scratching from the dog sitter

when my bro and his buddies were out thrown' the disc.

Which is controversy because as you can see dogs are 

allowed at Ultimate Frisbee tournaments...

Ahem.

My brother's team is really good by the way!

And the swag at these gigs is cool.

Check out the solar boom box.

As shown below dogs were also allowed at my sister's college convocation.

Hey fam, I am feeling a bit left out.

Anyways, I heard Mom got stung by a yellow jacket there

and spent the ceremony with an ice pack on her leg. 

I would say it served her right for leaving me,

but since my paw was stung recently too 

I wouldn't wish the feeling on anyone!

Ouch!

Still, I feel the need to unpack a few of thoughts 

about some separation anxiety I am experiencing. 

I miss my snuggle buddy sister!

Mom sends her snail mail greetings on "Miss You Mondays"

using cutesy cards and sassy stamps.



She lets me lick the envelopes. (Just kidding.)

But seriously, it's just not the same, 

I miss my daily PAWS on the couch with my sis.

I know, there's Face Time but it is so confusing.

My sister seems to be trapped in my Mom's phone! 

And she keeps making weird sounds like, "Meep." 

Plus I get followed around like I am under surveillance.

It's all very disturbing.

Needless to say, all these trials have caused me to experience some pent up anger.

 Two plastic watering cans fell prey to my aggression.

Thankfully Mom saw a metal watering can on display 

outside of Forest and Found that she bought as a replacement.

For my penitence Mom is posting this mermaid photo of me.

Whatever.

The other day a tiny person came here and left this toy. 

(I almost got to chew it up.)

I did find an appropriate therapeutic release.

You've all heard the expression "Carry a big stick,"
so why can't I bring this one in the house?
Unfair.

Another anxiety inducing moment occurred at the vet's.

The electricity got knocked out by a storm

which made for a perfect excuse to leave.

But no, I still had to get my 

nails trimmed by flashlight!

Unacceptable.

Now here's a "sticky" subject: bumper stickers.

Too much?

Here are some stickers I feel are way more worthy:

Mom showed me these photos of a puppy she met.

Although at first she appears sweet - she's obviously no angel!

(I just hope I get to meet her some day.

I love a good wrestling.)

Mom continues to find outstanding attire and literary selections:

And for all you Lion King fans,  

here's a fun shirt!

Hakuna Matata!

(Hey, no more cat skat, nobody cares.)

Dogs rule!

Mom says books on CD are great when she's driving - 

but since she doesn't let me ride in her swanky car I wouldn't know.

Boo hoo. 

But, truth be told Mom and my brother have been spending a lot of time watching Netflix.

Something about lights on a Friday night and a sci fi show with a ship called Serenity.

The good thing is I've been able to get in some quality IKEA couch time. 

I hope you are taking time to PAWS and notice the colored leaves!

One of Mom's friends even went on one of these lifts to see the fall colors!

I've made sure my tick medicine is put on monthly.

We have been taking walks out in the open lands

where the grasses are turning rust.

How are you enjoying this purrfect fall weather?

(Mom! Enough with the cat puns, this is a dog blog!)

Yours as dependably as my hair drops on the carpets of my life,

P.S. I am hot stuff.
