Did You Dress Up?

So many adults are claiming Halloween as their right to party, that I wonder if this is about the kids anymore? I mean, so many people are going out to parties tonight – will there be anyone home to hand out candy to the trick or treaters?

I am dressing up and going out – but I am staying home to hand out candy until after 9:00. I think there will be at least 40 or 50 kids coming to my house this year. But 9:00 is late for little kids, so that’s when I’m cutting out the porch light and stopping the giveaways. Then I will head downtown and find some of my friends at a club and have some adult fun, too.

Get Along Little Doggie

I love the gags that can be played around the little dachshund dog. Like the meme that goes around Facebook every now and then, of a dachshund puppy in a hot dog roll, like the photo below:

And the joke about why did the cowboy adopt a dachsund?

I like looking at pet halloween costumes online and in stores, and I’m always amused by how cute they are, and find myself wishing that my own pets would tolerate wearing something like that. My experience, however, has been that my pets do their best to remove whatever article of clothing I try to put on them! So I’m afraid that for me, it would be an exercise in frustration, and a waste of money to buy the costume for my pets.
