Trick-or-Treating Rule Breakers

            Trick-or-treating is interesting. Alex was always very shy and would have to be coaxed to walk to the door with me. Adam and Drew were quite a different story. I could hardly keep up with them. It wasn’t so much about the candy, okay, it was about it a little bit, but for the most part it was about the people and the costumes and the people who had their dogs in costumes. That was a big hit. We saw dogs dressed as ladybugs, pigs, other breeds of dog. Then there was the stop we made at my former elementary gym teacher’s home. He had a dog inside the house and when the little boys rang the doorbell and the door was opened, they walked right into the house and down the hall as though they were at Grandma’s. I was standing there trying to call them back but they weren’t listening, they were standing in the kitchen petting the dog. I apologized and rushed down the hall to the kitchen to retrieve my enthusiastic celebrators of Halloween and the canine species.
