OT: I love my pet

[All-Star Benchwarmer]

The girl's first trip to the dog park. Overall, they enjoyed it and are tired out. I put them in with the big doggo's for the last 10 minutes so they could socialize. The Corgi only wanted to to socialize with people, and the Papillon was barking like she was being murdered. All the other dogs were looking at each like they were saying "WTF?"

Tia's intelligence might be artificial.

She got up but doesn't know how to get down

Opened the side door and she crawled the back window for a second before...

TIA SPLASH!!!!

Then came up the stairs and in

My dog didn't even notice. We have a school a couple of blocks away, and a big park a few blocks the other way, so it was pretty loud bombardment. She was passed out by the fireplace all night.

Got a giant park and soccer field in front of my place. Fireworks consistent for about 2 hours. Pup was a bit spooked but I just kept holding him while the wife handed out candy.

Is there any particular reason they do fireworks here at Halloween? I've never seen this anywhere else.

no idea. It's been that way since i was a teenager at least.
( I "A friend" used to sell fireworks in highschool - there were pop-up shops that would show up on roadsides all over the place, but to get the good shit, you needed to bring it in from the States)

I remember big huge Gyro Halloween bonfire. And then fireworks as well. 1958? They’ve always had fireworks on Halloween. At least while I’ve been around.

Twas a massive bon fire. The Gyros gave out candy apples or toffee apples as well. I wasn't old enough in 1958 for my own but I shared with Pops...

when I was a kid it was always a scramble before halloween to get your order in for bricks of firecrackers with the kid whose dad was a longshoreman. I used to always think there was a big boat that just came into port loaded with firecrackers and fireworks. We would take the ink tube out of Bic pens and load them with bottle rockets ... a psuedo rpg launcher. And we would blow shit up with cherry bombs ... sometimes quite literally shit lol

Can always remember poor John Shebatowsky who ran by a group of us after someone lit a bunch of firecrackers in a steaming pile of dogshit ... him running towards us ( AT RECESS !!! ) yelling "whats going on guys!!???) while we all yellled "NO JOHN NO" and then boom ... all over his face and clothes ... set off a whole bunch of dry heaving from us

One more thing about sad faced dog. We thought he was sad because he wanted to hike in the woods, and maybe that was part of it. However a couple of days before we left we discovered the scoop we used to measure his food was roughly half the size of his normal scoop. So for his "vacation" we underfed him by about half for 6 days. Sorry buddy!
