Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween. My Mommy loves Halloween. I hear her and Daddy talk about how things were different when they were little and many more little kids trick or treated. I know I cannot have chocolate because it is bad for me but Mommy made the mistake of dropping and M $ M or something here and there. Usually she gets to it first and right away, but I have found one or two. Mommy has seen me eat them and then Mommy had a long talk with me about how dangerous it is. Especially to a little dog like me. I will try to to remember that when I see one drop.

I like this day because every time someone knocks on the door, Mommy scoops me up and I see a bunch of children who love to pet me. Mommy gives them candy and they pet me and make a fuss over me.

This year is different I am a little sad. Mommy was gone for a while yesterday and I cried. When she came home, Grandma was with her. Mommy had a big bandage on her neck and would not pick me up. I was told, by Mommy herself and Grandma, "Mommy has a boo-boo". Or sometimes they told me again "Mommy has an ouchie" I know this means mommy is hurting or got hurt. So Grandma took care of me but mostly I spent yesterday laying in Mommy's lap, looking at her from time to time to make sure she was okay. Then at 8:30p Grandma left and I followed Mommy upstairs to bed. Mommy was tired and so was I. Worrying about my Mommy makes me really tired!!

Today, I barked a lot to let Mommy know people were around. I am getting told a lot by Mommy in a loud voice to stop barking. I think because Mommy does not feel good. People are walking by but they are also coming and knocking on our door. I KNOW I have to let Mommy know someone is there because it could be Aunt Yvette, or it could be the UPS guy, but it could be a bad stranger.

But instead of petting this year Mommy keeps putting me in the wash room when there is a knock on the door. I guess she cannot pick up even 7 pounds. Probably because of her boo-boo.

But do not be sad for me! Daddy will be home soon. I get to sleep by Mommy. And get extra love later. Mommy already did something I do not think she was supposed to do and picked me up in the kitchen, told me what a good boy I was and how much she loved me. She showered me with kisses. I just leaned into her.

I am on a big fluffy blanket by her feet now. On guard because it is dark and the front door is partially open. I cannot sleep until Daddy gets home or Mommy locks that door. Even then I will be on guard with all of the activity today.

I did not get to wear my Halloween shirt either. Well that is okay too because there is always next year!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
