Our Halloween

It has been quite an exciting Halloween!

For the majority of the day, Sookie was dressed in her Trick or Treat shirt and matching-colored bow.

She also- and still currently is- parading around the house in her devil costume, barking at all the intruders trick-or-treaters. Earlier today she actually ended up peeing a bit on the tail of the costume while my sister and I were walking her. However, it is now cleaned up and good as new (much to Sookie's dismay)! 

There is an awful lot going on outside today!

We carved jack-o-lanterns as well. Sookie kept getting in the way, trying to eat the stringy pumpkin guts!

Here is the end result of one of them (We tried our best, but we are obviously far from professional pumpkin carvers!):

And this is what they look like at night, which also happens to be right now!

We didn't get any Halloween-themed goodies for Sookie or the cats, but I did make sure they were given yummy treats for the holiday!

Even Muffin the Guinea Pig received a Halloween treat (she had a bigger piece of green pepper before this).

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!!

Animals at Disney Celebrating Halloween

One of the best parts of Halloween is enjoying lots of fun and yummy goodies. Even the critters at Disney's Animal Kingdom received a treat of their own for the holiday- pumpkins! This cute video shows what each of them did with their new gifts.






What are your plans for Halloween?

Sookie the Little Devil

Sookie's Halloween costume arrived in the mail a few days ago. When I first saw it I thought I was going to have to return it to PetSmart because it was too big for her, but it actually fit much better than I initially thought. I can't say poor little Sookie shared my excitement about the costume, though. However, I will surprise her with some yummy Halloween doggy treats on the big day to make up for my evil mommy ways. ;)

I also had the pleasure of pet sitting a gorgeous and sweet Australian Shepherd named Nimbus yesterday at my house. I didn't get any photos of him, but I did manage to capture a few cute videos of him- one of him playing with my sister's giant fitness ball in the backyard and another of him playing tug-of-war. What makes the latter video extra cute is that he seems to be falling asleep while holding on to the toy!

Trick or Treat

My sister brought a cute Halloween shirt for Sookie, which came in the mail a few days ago. She wasn't sure if it would be too big for her or not, but fortunately it fit her perfectly!

I also purchased a devil costume for her on the PetSmart website, which hasn't arrived yet. I'm not sure what it is going to look like on her, as there was no picture displayed on the site of a dog wearing it. However, PetSmart was offering free shipping on its site for a few days last week and the costume was less than $8, so I couldn't pass it up. Can't wait to try it on her!

Here is another picture that I took of Sookie outside (I'm sure all of you have noticed that I like to create the 'splash of color' effect on my photos):

This was also the photo that I used as an entry for Petco's Halloween 'Make a Scene' photo contest. Sookie would really love it if you guys voted for her (just click on the link)!
