by Ricki Heller 27 Comments

“Elsie, what’s this I hear about Hallowed Eats today?”

“No, silly, it’s Halloween.  Which means Mum might play trick for treat! Just follow my lead. . . .”

“Oooooh, YEAH!  I’m READY!”

“Okay, so here’s a trick Mum likes: ‘Say Please.'”

“Well, I can give my paw! Here, Dad!  Now where’s my treat?”

“That’s nothing!  How about this?  Just call me Mum’s little angel!”

“I can be an angel, too, Elsie!  Um, except I’m a little scared of the halo. . .“

“Think you’re pretty talented, don’t you, Chaser?  Well getta load of THIS! This will get treats for sure!”

“Okay, Elsie, you win.  I bow at your feet. But, um, we still don’t have any treats, you realize. Drat!”

“That’s okay, Chaser. . . at least she didn’t dress us in stupid costumes, like last year.”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!  (And don’t worry, they did get their treats . . . ).  🙂

    Awww I LOVED this post! What sweet faces, their personalities just shine through each picture. I wish I could get both of them over here to play with our big boy Jack, he needs some friends his own size. Happy Halloween Chaser and Elsie!

    Adorable silly dogs, and so sweet to pose like that (although they must have grown up doing it)! Thanks for the Halloween fun! Now really I must run and bake a treacle tart in honor of Harry Potter . . . .

    SO adorable! After beaming my way through all the photos, I picked up the laptop and ran over to Zach, calling “look at the amazing cute puppies!” Zach agrees that they’re exceptionally darling… 🙂
