Last Halloween, we had our little set up on our porch. We had bails of hay around the porch just high enough to keep MAXIMUS in and the kids could still reach over. MAXIMUS looooves Halloween. Anyway , he knows it's just make-up and costumes. Halfway through the night, a woman, dressed like a witch brought her two kids by, and MAXIMUS actually growled at her. He never growls at anyone, except the mailman . We went through the night, with rubber masks, really great make-up jobs, etc., no more growling at any of them. Later, we found out who the woman was. She's really horrible to her young kids. Do you think MAXIMUS knew she was a bad person? I'm sure he would save us from anything if he had to. But, do you think our pets can sense things like that?
