I don't know who the artist is that carved these dog pumpkins or Dog O Lanterns as I call them but a friend of mine emailed these to me, I think they are really well done!
You think this little pug is proud of his "portrait in pumpkin" image?
How about this little Yorkie dog?
Wishing you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN! and a safe one for all our pet friends.
Remember to keep the candy away from our pets, especially chocolate. Those little rascals will eat wrappers and all! Not to mention make them sick as a …
Instead give them some healthy doggy treats while the kids are sitting around with their night's haul. And when those trick-or-treaters come to the door, one after another, it might be a good idea to put your dog away in a bedroom or even a crate till all the craziness is over. Or better yet, dress em up in their own Halloween costume and take them out on Halloween night!
My boy Duke here barks at everyone who comes to the door, whether they ring the bell or not. It can drive you crazy on Halloween night.

There is a guy named Clay Thompson that writes a column in the Arizona Republic newspaper called Valley 101. The best way to describe his style would be to say, think of Dear Abby on crack. People email him with the stupidest questions and he patiently answers them all, but when he gets a really idiotic one he will react with "you people!" The questions are not about love and relationships but about things in general.
This particular article he wrote was back in July (when Phoenix temperatures hit 115 in the afternoons) and a woman had written him about a disagreement she was having with her mother: Seems that she leaves her medium sized dog locked up in a bedroom for 13 hours while she commutes to a 12 hour work shift. Her question to Clay was this: "what would happen to my dog if shortly after I left for work the power went off, and with it the air conditioning, would my dog still be alive when I got home?
Clay's response was classic Thompson stuff. Hmmm he says, what the heck are you thinking leaving a dog alone for 13 hours, never mind worrying about the power going off! That is not a good thing to do. Then he suggests that she look into other arrangements to have her dog kept by the mom or a neighbor. Other than that leave the dog plenty of food, water and some of their favorite toys.
It got me to thinking about how selfish people can be. This woman really has no business having a dog if she keeps it locked up for 13 hours! Dogs get lonely and bored and it's nothing short of cruel treatment if you ask me. I had a parrot once that I left in my bedroom while I was at work. I started working longer hours and I couldn't stand the thought of that bird being alone so I ended up giving him to a nice family with a stay at home mom. It pained me to let him go but it was best for the bird and that is what I think is most important.
I have the greatest respect for the Marine Corps and all our armed forces, I am a marine veteran of the Vietnam war but when I was searching for a Christmas card where I could include a picture of my lab "Duke" I ran across this Pets In Uniform website. I just couldn't resist.
I submitted a digital picture of Duke, made a $19.95 payment on PayPal and in just a couple of days I got back as a download. It's a very high quality image. "General" Duke is suitable for framing and will make a great gift for the family.
Here is their video on YouTube, some of these like the bird astronaut are hilarious!
