Just wondering how everybody's poochies reacted to Halloween..? This was our first!
Kosmo and I went on a walk as soon as I got home. Because of the time change it was fairly dark outside. He must have barked at every lit up pumpkin in the world. I know they say dogs can't see colors, but anything red or orange scares the crap out of him. It always has. At the end of the walk we went by my brother in law's house who happens to be a huge Halloween maniac. He was outside in his Mike Myers mask with fake blood and everything on him.. My goodness was Kosmo ever SCARED of hiM!! It was hillarious. He was running around and barking but crying little whines in between barks. When I got tired of laughing I picked him up and passed him to the "big scary man" which, of course, he figured out was not too bad after all. Big scary man = TREATS! 8)
When we got home the kids started coming. At first he couldn't understand WHY ON EARTH they weren't coming for him!! He ran out to the porch a few times and then I finally remembered to tell him to "stay." He was perfect after that. FUnniest thing happened about 5 minutes ago. It's now almost 9PM here and the kids have finished coming.. or at least I thought. So 2 kids come to the door and I am halfway out of it from exhaustion and I open the door and Kosmo, of course, runs out to greet the visitors. I forgot to tell him to stay. :? The boy kid (maybe about 9) SCARED to death of dogs. He ran off the porch in almost a cry and Kosmo started licking the little girls leg.. :roll: Anyways the boy seen this and came back up on the porch for a pet and a kiss before leaving..
I think we might have helped to erase a dogs=fear state of mind in a little boy. 8) Arent Cavaliers the best dogs in the whole world?!
