To the memory of silent footsteps
That beside us once did fall
We pause but for a moment
And in reverence do recall

For the hand that held the leash
They served our country well
Therefore we who do remain
Will their stories ever tell.

Some did come home
Along with us, tails held high
While others left empty collars
And in foreign soil now silently they lie

They are forever our guardian angels
Clad in soft and coloured fur
As present now in our hearts
As they ever and always were.

Tonight is the night!

Some things to note when including your pup in the festivities:

When it comes to dogs and candy, safety is crucial, as many types of candy contain ingredients that can be harmful, even toxic, to dogs. Here are key tips to keep your pup safe around candy:

1. Avoid Chocolate
Why it’s Dangerous: Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which are toxic to dogs. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are especially dangerous due to higher concentrations of theobromine.
Signs of Poisoning: Vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, increased heart rate, muscle tremors, and even seizures. Seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog consumes chocolate.
2. Xylitol is Toxic
What It Is: Xylitol is a sugar substitute commonly found in sugar-free gum, candies, mints, and some baked goods.
Why It’s Dangerous: Xylitol causes a rapid release of insulin in dogs, leading to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and potential liver failure.
Signs of Poisoning: Vomiting, weakness, staggering, seizures, and unconsciousness. Even small amounts of xylitol can be fatal, so urgent vet care is critical.
3. Candy Corn, Hard Candy, and Sour Candy
Digestive Issues: Sugary candies like candy corn, hard candy, and sour candy can lead to digestive issues like gas, bloating, and diarrhea, which may require veterinary care if severe.
Choking Hazard: Hard candies can pose a choking risk, especially for small dogs, or can lead to blockages in the intestines if swallowed whole.
4. Gummy Candy and Licorice
Harmful Ingredients: Many gummy candies contain xylitol and other artificial sweeteners, while licorice contains glycyrrhizin, which in large amounts can lead to muscle damage and high blood pressure in dogs.
Blockage Risks: Gummy candies and chews can create a risk of intestinal blockage if ingested, especially for smaller dogs.
5. Wrappers are Not Safe Either
Swallowing Hazards: Foil, plastic, and paper wrappers can cause choking, stomach irritation, or blockages in the digestive tract. Dispose of candy wrappers securely to keep them out of reach.
6. Safe Treat Alternatives for Dogs
Dog-Safe Treats: Opt for dog-specific treats or fruits and vegetables like apple slices (without seeds), carrots, or blueberries, which are safe and healthy for most dogs.
DIY Dog Treats: Make simple homemade dog treats using safe ingredients like pumpkin puree, peanut butter (xylitol-free), and whole oats.
7. What to Do If Your Dog Eats Candy
Contact Your Veterinarian: Call your vet immediately if your dog consumes any candy or sweets, especially if they contain chocolate, xylitol, or other harmful ingredients.
Observe Symptoms: Monitor your dog for symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, diarrhea, weakness, or agitation, which may indicate poisoning or digestive issues.
Being aware of these potential hazards can help keep your dog safe and healthy, especially around holidays when candy is often more accessible.

For our feline friends, Halloween can be really stressful. Here are some ideas to help with keeping that bad energy down!

Keeping indoor cats from darting out the door is essential for their safety. Here are some effective strategies to help prevent your cat from making a quick escape:

1. Create a Barrier or Double Door System
Use a Baby Gate: Place a baby gate near the entrance to create a physical barrier. While it won’t stop a determined jumper, it slows down cats and provides a warning to stay alert.

2. Distract Your Cat During Entry and Exit
Designate a Safe Spot: Train your cat to sit at a particular spot away from the door, or even keep them in a comfortable room with the door closed. Use treats and praise to reinforce this behavior, so they associate the spot with rewards.

3. Train with Positive Reinforcement
Use Treats for Redirection: If your cat approaches the door, redirect them to a safe distance and reward them with treats or praise.

4. Provide Enrichment and Alternatives for Exploration
Set Up a Window Perch: Cats often want to explore because they’re curious. Give them a dedicated window perch to watch the outdoors safely.

5. Make the Entry Area Less Inviting
Block Off the Area: Place large objects like plants or furniture near the door to create a physical and visual barrier.

6. Be Mindful During High-Risk Times
Use Slow, Calm Movements: Rushing out or opening the door quickly can entice your cat to make a dash. Move slowly, positioning yourself between the cat and the door if they’re nearby.
Consider Using a Carrier: If your cat needs to go out, like for a vet visit, place them in a carrier away from the main door first. This helps prevent any door-dashing habits.

With consistency and patience, you can help your cat learn to stay safe inside and reduce their urge to dash out the door.
