Last night the weather was perfect. My husband, myself, and Jean Paul sat outside on the porch and had fun handing out candy to around 110 trick-or-treaters. We were so proud of Jean Paul. He can be timid around strangers; however, he didn’t show any signs of being nervous last night. As a matter of fact, he wanted to give everyone a whiff! Some kids made comments like “nice dog”! Another little boy seemed amazed at seeing his first poodle in real life! Only a group of a couple kids were intimidated by Jean and wouldn’t even come across the street because they said they were afraid of dogs. The sweetest thing was when a little boy put a piece of candy in the bowl. I asked him if he was trading it for something else and he said “no, I found it on the ground” and then, since he didn’t get any candy from us yet, he proceeded to pick out a different piece for himself! I think the funniest thing was when I was out getting more candy and my husband only had 3 Almond Joy’s left and a couple of kids came by, looked at the candy and said “Yuck” and walked off leaving the candy!

With all the doggie Halloween costumes around I expected to see a few dogs dressed up walking around with their humans, but I didn’t see any dogs at all.

Oh well, I can’t wait until next year!
