Howl-O-Ween Wrap Up

We had a terrific Howloween yesterday! First thing yesterday, I got up early to participate in the United Way Spooktacular 5k race. When I got to registration, it was pouring the coldest rain. By race time, the weather broke and conditions were great for a race. I've only run 1 other 5k, since I got Bell's Palsy last November, and that was the Fenton Payne and Fred last August. I was WAAAAAY off my previous time then. So, I tried to be calm and run my own race yesterday. I was very pleased at the finish, when I heard that I was back to my pre Bell's race times. I finished in 37:45. I thought I was running a lot slower, so I was pleasantly suprised!!

At the finish line.

After the race, Casey and I headed home and took a big, power nap! Afterwards, the puppies all modeled their Halloween shirts.

Later yesterday afternoon, Casey and I went next door to Mom's to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. We took Jack over with us, because we know that he doesn't door dash.

We also got to see my brother's dogs, who had their Halloween costumes on.

Halloween Prep

I just spent the better part of the last couple of hours carving pumpkins for tomorrow night. Of course, staying true to my nature, I carved dog designs. I carved a chihuahua and a dachshund. I don't think I did too bad for my first attempt. These pictures were made with my iPhone, so they don't show every detail. I'll have better ones tomorrow, when I use the good Nikon. So, without further adeiu:

Now, I need to get to bed. I have a 5k in the morning!! EEEP!!

Halloween Pet Safety Tips

Photobucket

Halloween can be a fun holiday for pets as well as kids. Please remember the hidden danger in Halloween for pets. Some Halloween Pet Safety Tips are:

No tricks, no treats: That bowlful of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Fluffy.

Chocolate in all forms--especially dark or baking chocolate--can be very dangerous for dogs and cats. Symptoms of significant chocolate ingestion may include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst, urination and heart rate--and even seizures.

Candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can be poisonous to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol sweetener can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, which leads to depression, lack of coordination and seizures. In cases of significantly low blood sugar, liver failure has been known to occur.

To see more tips, visit the ASPCA's website.

Weekly Walks

It's finally dry enough that I've been able to walk Indiana all week, in addition to my daily runs. He's really enjoyed it, and we've added to the length of the walk too. We've also been going across the highway to the city park. While there, Indy got to see horses for the first time.

We've also met some new furfriends along the way too.

I sure hope the rain stays away, so we can keep up our walks! Everyone have a great weekend!
