Halloween Angels



">


When we were thinking about Halloween this year we envisioned dressing Molly & Max up in their costumes, taking some photos, maybe trying to show them to a few children until they barked at the children too much and then we'd put them in their sleeping kennel until the trick or treating had ended. THAT is NOT what happened!!!!


When the Trick or Treaters arrived, Mark sat outside the door & I put the baby gate up so that the dogs would not get out if someone opened the door. I thought the dogs could look out at the children. BUT, the dogs couldn't see the children, so I put the rocking chair in front of the door so they could see out the window, and they sat there for an hour and a half and just watched!!! They barked twice at dogs walking by, but not at the children. Normally they bark at anyone they see walking by.


The children and many adults loved seeing the dogs dressed up. A few people even asked if the dogs were real because they sat so still at times. The photos above in the slide show are not 'time lapsed'... just taken randomly.... at any time the dogs could have gotten down from the chair but they didn't. The way they behaved was so surprising!!!!!!!!!!! Mark & I still can hardly believe it. Molly & Maxwell were indeed our Halloween angels, only they were dressed as a firetruck and Snow White.
