Myles the Moose

Myles looks a little like a dear in the headlights in this picture

Our Church had it's annual Trunk-or-treat last Monday. It's a great idea, especially for people who live in Los Angeles that don't want their children to roam the streets collecting candy on Halloween. Everyone comes dressed in costumes and they have dinner, pumpkin carving, games and a spook alley for the kids and then everyone heads to the parking lot for "trunk-or-treating". It's a lot of fun and the kids love it. You don't worry about your kids getting scary things in their candy bags and the parents stand around and talk. It's fun for everyone. Myles and Bjorn dressed up as Moose, and I was the Pig. We won the pumpkin carving contest and I won for the funniest costume. All in all it was a great night.

Telling Tuesday

This is a very sad little dog. He was vomiting all day Sunday. When this happens he goes outside to eat anything he can find, thus inducing more vomit. Well I guess he ate something that he was allergic to. In a 30 min. period this is what his face looked like. His entire face and mouth started to swell. So much so that he needed a steroid shot and some epinephrine to get him back to normal, well semi normal. I couldn't even lift his lip up to see his gums, his mouth was so swollen. I guess this is a lesson to us, don't let the dog eat everything in site!
