Halloween on Sunday

Halloween is on Sunday! It's always more fun on a weekend! Hope you and your dog have something exciting planned. Here is a recent photo I took of Penny. (We tried putting a costume on her, but she thought it was a toy and started to nibble at it....needless to say, we went with the bandana!)

Don't forget to stop and smell the roses....or stop and sniff the plants. I recently bought a new plant, and as you can see here, Penny was interested (a little too interested.... needless to say, we have come to learn we can't leave her alone with plants)!

Hope you enjoy the little things in life today!

Happy Friday!
