Keep Pets Safe for Halloween
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Halloween this evening!

Please take a moment and make sure that your pets are safely contained and out of harm's way. While I'd love to believe that Halloween is as innocent as the kiddos who come to my door in cowboy outfits and ballarina costumes, we all know that sometimes that's not the case. We've had animals tortured before in our area - not just on Halloween, but certainly sometimes on Halloween.

So, please take a minute and make sure that your pets are safe. Also check and make sure that they cannot dart out the door when you are greeting trick-or-treaters!

Happy Halloween!!!

1. Especially Black Cats
in New Orleans, the shelters won't adopt out any black cats before Hallowe'en, because sickos were "adopting" them (much like Bill Frist) and then displaying their bodies as part of their Hallowe'en tableaux. :puke:

2. Also keep the candy (especially choc.) out of reach.

6. I'd like to have pics of the expressions
of the kids who decide to bother the Budster :)

He's harmless but he makes for one impressive first impression :)
