• As you can see, we continue to dabble in the Halloween arena. Oh, yes.  What? You didn't really think I'd forgotten about it did you? Hardly. I've decided to be okay with the possibility of donning some idiotic costume. Yeah, my ears have been perked up a lot lately with all the gloomy financial news. You think we pups don't care about the economy? Dear ones, please. I need to insure that my supply of drummies remains intact.

Anyway, I've decided to be a good sport and not get too pouty if I must be a Halloween creature. It could be worse...I could be serving drinks and hot towels to lame customers in some Tampa restaurant.

• Hey, I met THE nicest couple last night. The Mool and I were just hanging outside the building kind of waiting for Gaz to zip back from the grocery store across the street, when this sweet couple stopped to chat. Let me tell you that they have a hound like me, same color and everything. Their mutt is especially special as it hails from Ireland.  They thought I was too cute for words and I tried to look especially fluffy and tail-waggy for them.

NO DOGGY-BAG-SCOOP THIS WEEK!! HAVE A WILD WEEKEND.....
