First Rain of the Season

It's here. The rainy season. The cold, heater weather season. Well sorta. Our weather is weird. One day it's low 80s, then two days later it's this. Rainy and grey. 

First rain of the season was a couple weeks ago. Mom hates walking us in the rain, so Aunt V took us. 

Can't say we like it that much better. 
It takes me furever to find scents once the rain washes them away.

And it's cold!

Good thing we have our pawesome rain jackets.

They keep us dry for the most part, and then Mom just has to dry the top of our heads and paws when we get inside.

Okay, let's head back to the warmth!


Lots of licks,

Our HOWL-o-ween Fun!

We are a little late in sharing our Howl-o-ween post, but we wanted to share anyway. We had such a fun day. That morning when we were getting ready for work, Mom put on our costumes so her bosses can see, and she also told us that she had something fun planned. 

She took us to the Carmel Shopping Center to show off our costumes. We got to stroll around and meet other doggies with costumes on.
 

We met Super Dog...
 
...a small dinosaur...
 

...and another Pug. He wasn't dressed up, but he said our costumes were pawesome!

Mom also took us to this pet store called, Pet Food Express. They said any pets who come in dressed in their costumes, will be entered into a costume contest and the winner will win a 20% discount coupon for their next visit.

This was my reaction when we won a coupon!
Wahooo!!!

The next stop was to meet Aunt V in Monterey at the mall. The stores there were hosting their own Trick-or-Treating fun for kids. All stores had candy bowls for the kids to come around and trick-or-treat and collect candy. There were also clowns there making balloon animals, and pumpkin and hay stack decorations for pictures. 

Of course Mom made us take a picture.

Kids kept saying that they liked our costumes and that we looked cool in them. We even met some kids with the same costumes!

Batman meets Batdog.

And Spiderman meets Spidey-Dog.

After some resting...

...and some water...

Mom gave us more good news. It was lunch time. And we were having PIZZA!!!

OMD could this day get any better?

After the mall, we headed home with Aunt V to wait for Mom to get off work, and for the Trick-or-Treaters to come.

In the meantime, Aunt V made some HOWL-o-ween cupcakes, and she let us taste the cake batter.
  So good!

And we snoopervised while she made doggy goody bags for our neighborhood furiends with Scooby Snacks treats.

Our next door neighbor Sasha, came to visit us in her costume and we chatted outside.

We shared our doggy goody bags with her and gave her Mom some human goodies too.


PHEW! Watta day! Howl-o-ween was such a great, but busy day!

After all the trick-or-treaters were gone, we crashed out!
 Can't wait for next year! 


Lots of licks,
