Saturday Walkabout...Halloween Horrors edition

Excuse me Sir, got any "dog-O'lanterns" ???

Cole here for my weekly post
You would not believe the terror I lived through on Friday night. All you sensitive type dogs and cats out there know how thunderstorms are? This time we had just had a long walk, Daddy came home from wherever he goes all day, we three were on our porch-perch and it started.

I freaked out, started panting as you do, then  Crack! Passed out! Fell on the floor! Next thing I knew Momma was standing there with a paper bag over my snout.
OMDog! (shakes head, shakes ears while I'm at it, shakes it all, hokey-pokey style)

Anyway, I survived the fainting spell, and as a reward the next day I went on a walkabout with the folks.

First stop was the farmers market for a few vege and pumpkins.

Let's see....

They all smell about the same....
you choose Momma!

Then it's off for a real walk in another neighborhood for new smells and to do a little business, heh heh

low and behold, we see one of Daddy's work friends, so of course my peeps had to stop and yakety-yak. After I petted Kelly for a looooong time, I planted it for a little doze in the sun. These are the SAME people who make me stop sniffing a Very Important Smell and come on. Sheesh!

On to the produce stand where I was tasked with choosing some mums...

How's a limited color-viewing poodle to choose here?? Momma, you're the artist...
We did select some honey crisp apples, some pickles and I petted some people while momma shopped.

Then back to the van, here we go... and all heck breaks loose!

All I did was grab and eat a kleenex on my way back into the parcel laden van. I mean, it took a second at best, and they weren't eating them for pity's sake!

What a ruckus! Cole spit it out!
riiiiiiight, mmph, almost done, there! By the time Dad pried open my mouth it was safely eaten.

You'd think they never ate one of these delicacies before. And I was quick about it too.


I don't know what these people want...do you? They are always hurrying me along, then when I eat fast on the run they make a fuss. Oy!

Another quick walk in the little park near Daddy's shirt pick-up, and Momma won't let it go! Still.
Said with that sarcastic voice I hate, "Sorry Cole, there's no tissues here"  and "Cole! do not jump in!" Like I would! It looks too much like a bath to be enjoyable, wait, is that a frog?!!
We finished the trip here...

All for the Pet... my kind of store!
Lots of treats in here including bunnies on the hoof!

No, they wouldn't buy one for me, but I talked them into some duck treats. Momma might have gotten yanked in the sniffing frenzy but it wasn't my fault she dropped the camera. 

We all got home, had a sip of water, then played in the yard. The mums look nice with the ghost lights, huh?
Wooooooo-oooof
