The “Graveyard” 2022

National Black Dog Day 2022
Hey, y’all! I’m Zoey, a black Pitador, adopted from The Colony Animal Shelter, over three years ago. Today is also NATIONAL BLACK DOG DAY. And therefore I want to say something. We black doggies are full of unconditional love, playful, and have beautiful shiny fur. On top of that, we make great companions, just like all the other puppies. I don’t know, why we get so easily overlooked when it comes to adopting a dog. All I know, is I’m very thankful, that the Chesters had a big heart and let me be a part of their pack from there on forward. I appreciate it very much for being a good dog, giving them sweet puppy kisses, make a good playmate for the kids and my furry brothers and sisters, which are another dog and three cats. Please! Next time, when y’all go to the shelter, consider adopting one of our doggies with black fur. Here is sweet YEEHAA! from a southern four-legged beauty. Thank you for taking your time, for reading these words. It’s time for me to go back and play with my stick and my tennis ball. And to all my black puppy friends:
Happy Black Dog Day!
My Jack-o-Lanterns ~ 2003 – 2007

Back in 2003, Kevin was on leave for Katelynn’s birth, from Iraq. Before he had to go back for another couple of months, we went to the Commissary. Kevin looked in a box filled with ‘Jack-o-Lantern’ and found the perfect pumpkin. That squash looked like it fell out of a painting or was in the story of Cinderella. Kevin knew he couldn’t be with us for Halloween. And I wanted to make something really cute for Katelynn. Kevin and I found a booklet, and we picked the perfect stencil. Kevin said: “I want you to make the pumpkin as beautiful as you can, capture a few pictures, and send them to me on Halloween! I will be stuck in Iraq, again. But I want to be a part of it! It is Katelynn’s very first Halloween.” Said, and done! Since our little family was ripped apart for this special day, the ‘Pumpkin 2003’ will always be my favorite. It was an emotional one. From that day on forward, I made a tradition out of pumpkin carving. Every year, Katelynn gets her stenciled ‘Jack’. And when Sara came along, she got her own ‘Jack’, as well.
I will introduce some pumpkins every Saturday throughout October. Enjoy, and maybe get your own ideas! If you like to show me pictures of your Jack-o-Lantern, feel free to drop a link in the comment section below. I would love to see your artwork.

Hello October 2022!
🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂🍁🎃🍁
October Autumn leaves of red and gold that crunch beneath your feet,
Pumpkins on front porches, candy corn, and trick-or-treat,
Tart and tangy cider, apples ripened on the trees,
A hint of winter coming on the chilly autumn breeze.

My favorite month has arrived! October has all the beautiful Autumn activities I like the most. We can go pumpkin picking at the farms; wear sweaters, while shopping for Autumn goodies; eat and drink a lot of Pumpkin Spice-everything. and watch the leaves finally turning in beautiful shades of gold, orange and red. In the meantime, decorations will go up to make our house and yard look more spooky for the Halloween season. I LOVE OCTOBER!
