I was a Smash at the Bash!



Saturday was amazing. I know that I was complaining on Friday that I had to sit at home all day, but let me tell you that it was all worth it. We were up at the crack of dawn on Saturday getting ready. Mother had the car all loaded and with Bea and me dressed in our spooky spider costumes we were ready for a party; and this party did not disappoint!
Mother brought our travel cave, along with a big white roof to keep the sun off our heads. It turned out to be a beautiful day; not too hot and not too cold so I didn't have to hear Bea complaining the whole time.  The whole gang was there too – Sweet Sally, Vonnie and Dancing Debbie! I know mother was touched to see them all there. I wasn't going to hurt her feelings and tell her that they probably just came to hang out with me.
Now, I'm not one to go on and on about how completely adorable I am, but I like to let my work speak for itself. Not a single little person was able to walk by our table without stopping. I threw it all at them too; the puppy dog eyes, the whole body wiggle, the non-stop tail wagging, along with the fastest dog tongue in the south. Kids are powerless to resist, and I don't think they really try that hard. Now the bigger people, the owners of the smaller ones, are better able to fight off my cuteness, but even they have a hard time. Bea and I were on our best behavior. We barely barked at anyone, other than the scary clown dressed up as an old man, or maybe it was the other way around; either way he was terrifying so I had to protect the team with the only weapon I had, my voice.
I did get some good treats out of the deal. Mother brought Halloween cookies to give out to the visiting dogs, but seeing as Bea, Shakespeare and JujuBee were the only dogs there, I received lots of those. Add that to the hot dog bun, popcorn, brownie crumbs, two bugs and some crabgrass, I had a full tummy to go with the days' festivities. I was dog tired (I finally figured out what that means) when it was all over, but I can't wait to do it again. Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a fun time!!
