Woof Woof Wednesday with Astrid and Her Kooky Cookies

Today, Astrid wanted to share with you all her Halloween and autumn cookie stash from our local pet store.



These are always released by our pet store in August, and they sell out fast, so I nab a bunch of them for Astrid as soon as they're available. They have a 6-month shelf life, and Astrid gets a cookie every week, sometimes two cookies. Astrid has been working through these the past couple of months, though the big cookies on the left are being saved for Halloween week. It may not be the healthiest thing, but Astrid is a sweet old gal who loves cookies, and so she gets cookies.

Believe it or not, little calico Tonks has some photos with these cookies to share next week. After all, she was very helpful during this photo shoot. She even tasted one of the cookies, much to Astrid's dismay.

Astrid is wishing you all lots of cookies on this Wednesday!

Not So Spooky Doodle of the Day

I saw a piece of Halloween decor that was a ghost walking its ghost dog. I thought it was cute, though a bit sad at the same time. That said, I decided to scribble up a version of it in my notebook.

Tip of the Day

Today's tips is another one to help keep anxious or excitable furbabies calm and safe on Halloween night. This tip involves a couple more things you can do in order to help your kitty or pup from becoming scared or agitated when trick-or-treaters are active. For example, if your cat or dog is scared or becomes excited at the sound of the doorbell, then one option is to disconnect it on Halloween night. If you hand out candy on Halloween, you can also use options such as placing the candy dish outside for trick-or-treaters to grab some loot themselves, sitting outside to hand out candy, or simply staying near the door and watching for trick-or-treaters so that they won't need to knock or ring the doorbell. As we've mentioned in previous tips, there are still ways to enjoy Halloween and its festivities while also keeping your kitty or pup as calm and safe as possible. This might mean taking some extra precautions and finding a method that works for you and your furbaby, but it is doable.

They look delish, Astrid! (That dog walking ghostie was the most sought after piece of Halloween decor this year!)
