Too bad some of your treaters were scared of the pup/guardians!
Love the guardian cat pose!
Denna wasn't dressed up, and we left the door open - with just our see-through "screen door" closed (it has plastic panels, so more than just screens). We had a 2ft tall fireman come charging up to the door, and Denna charged right at him from the other side (we were there in a heartbeat... but she still looked ferocious to us!)... the fireman did.not.flinch. He was FOCUSED on his Treat or Treat job! I held Denna back while DH divvy'd out the candy. She had calmed down, then. But I'd say only 1 or 2 people were concerned with Denna backing at them through the door - and that included ZERO kids.
I'm not sure if I should be happy that the kids weren't traumatized, or worried that they have no concept of how to read doggie language, and might approach a truly aggressive animal in the future.
I decided to be happy.
Quite a few (out of the ~50 treaters) stuck around to get closer greetings with Denna, so she had fun, too.
And... sorry we don't have any pumpkin pictures to share... we have one real pumpkin on the porch - still uncarved - and then I put out two plastic ones that plug in on Halloween itself. Not very exciting around here. If we didn't have Denna helping out, it be down right boring!
