The dog I assisted in PRE-tiring got through Halloween just fine. The owners who actually live with her in a TOT dense area kept their porch lighted and tried to anticipate the kids (of all ages) who approached the door. This young Labradoodle (90% Lab) is gorgeous but very reactive. So she responds to doorknocks and doorbells and she is inteested in EVERYTHING. Anyhow, she got through it and the owners used up most of their candy and threw her a treat ever so often.

Me, nearby but on my long straight feeder road, had no callers. My house and the houses next to me are dark, and across the street is a school, so from the point of view of Treaters, it's a sort of Darien Gap for candy. I do love Halloween and candy, but at present I am lone and fat.

Meanwhile, along comes Guy Fawkes Day. Maybe get something going in the black powder racket...
