Super Dog Reigns!

In case you might have missed it, it was Halloween last Wednesday.  And what a day I had!  First of all, it was also the day I started back at the Elementary School.  And that was fun.

See, this time instead of all 7th & 8th graders, I had 7 kids:  1 from each grade starting with kindergarten up to 6th grade.  The one kindergarten student was a tiny little girl.  But she wasn't afraid of me.  She watched the other kids, and came right up and petted me under the chin and on the chest.  Just like the video we all watched said they should.  "Chin or Chest - That's the Best" is what the little dog in the video told them.  Well, he wasn't a real dog talking.  He was a cartoon with a New Zealand accent.  But he was pretty smart.

The 6th grader was a nice looking young man.  And boy did he like to talk.  But he was polite about it.  And he liked me 'cuz Mom told them that I had been in a Foster Home.  I guess four of these kids were in Foster Homes now.  Brent, the 6th Grader, was in one.  He asked Mom, "Do dogs really have foster homes, too?  Were you a foster parent?"  Mom told him that she was a Forever Parent (for which I am very glad!)

I dressed up for the kids since it was Halloween.  This is me being Super Dog!  Kinda cool, huh?  

But I thought those kids would never come.  I just stared and stared at the door till they finally came.  Then they were all over me.  Mom and Ms Dugan (the Social Worker) had to stop them so they would do it the right way.  You know, ask Mom if it's OK to pet me first.  Or as my little New Zealand cartoon friend says, "Check it's Sweet - Before you Meet!  He knows his stuff.

After school we went home and I had to take a nap because Mom and Dad were taking me out to dinner.  But first, Mom said we needed to go see Gerry and Grant down the street.  They really like me and a couple of weeks ago, they went out and bought a whole bag of treats, just for me when I come by and see them.  Isn't that the bees knees!  They are so swell.  So Mom put on my Superman Cape and we went down to their house.  They were outside waiting for Trick or Treaters and they were so happy to see me!  Gerry kept asking Mom if she could give me another treat until I had at least five treats, and then Mom said that was enough.  It's NEVER enough when treats are involved.  But I said hello to both of them and to their neighbor who was sitting outside with them.

Then Mom and Dad and me (is that supposed to be "I"?) anyway, we all went out to dinner on the Pinnacle Peak Patio.  We met Mom and Dad's friends who always make me my very own Dog Treats and they brought me some to dinner.  It was lots of fun.  I really like those friends!  I hope I get to go to dinner with them again.

All in all, it was a wonderful Halloween Day and Night.  I even saw some scary little witches when we were walking after dinner.  But I wasn't scared, 'cuz I knew they were the kids down the street who just dressed up as witches.  Just like I dressed up like Superman.  

I hope you had a great Halloween like I did!

Love, G
