Happy Halloween! As always we are looking forward to this evening's influx of trick-or-treaters, as this area is just nutty for this holiday. I've seen an unusual number of news pieces this year on dogs in costumes, as it seems to be an ever more popular sentiment that this is some form of animal cruelty. We are undeterred, however, as we remain convinced our pooches are fine with getting dressed up, and they always delight the children with their get-ups. This year the plan is to have Hudson the wonder dog be Wonder Woman while the Gunnar-man will play Zorro, though we may improvise on this, since Gunnar's all-black costume doesn't show up very well on his all-black coat.
