Why Dogs Hate Holidays!

Macy and Sammy,

Thanks for telling me that Halloween is almost here. We've had Halloween stuff all over my house for so long that I almost forgot it's there. I don't know which holiday is the worst for dogs. New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th -- those are loud days with noises that sound like thunder, which is the one thing I'm really scared of. Halloween brings those scary people to the door. I get locked in the bedroom with my daddy so I don't bark myself silly or scare some little kids, who might fall down and get hurt. Even though I'm locked away, I know those monsters are at my door and that's worse than seeing them.

Then, I smell the candy, but I never get any. Sometimes I get a livasnap or some dog biscuit, when what I really want is chocolate. Even since I ate all those truffles, I want more chocolate. I figure Halloween is the best chance of that, but it hasn't happened yet.

Maybe I should get one of those costume things they have for dogs. I hear my mommy and daddy laughing at dogs who are dressed up. I wonder if a good disguise would get me some candy.

Love,
Tina
