Thread Name: BS: Trick 'r Treat...
Subject: RE: BS: Trick 'r Treat...
We had a memorable Halloween, although it couldn't touch two years ago when Colin Kemp, Theresa, Noreen and Alan were here. All in all, we had 107 kids.. a high, for us.

Best moments...

I keep dog treats, because there are always people who bring their dogs along... sometimes in costume. Someone had a very old, wide-backed yellow Lab and when I offered her a dog treat, she took it for a moment and then let it drop to the ground. (Dogs can't spit... don't have the lips for it.) I tried a second one, as they are different flavors... imitation beef, imitation chicken, imitation cat.. The dog let the second one drop too. I commented... "even the dogs are conniseurs today.) As I was leaving, the dog realized that there weren't going to be any other choices and changed it's mind and gobbled down both treats.

Later, three kids came to the door, and the first two said "Trick or Treat," and I handed them some candy. The third one was just standing there, and didn't say anything. He was busy talking on a cell phone.

Lord, deliver me..
