Halloween Heroes
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive, Live Happy

A week before Halloween, my young children were parading around our home in their Halloween costumes. Then the babysitter called and canceled. I knew that emergencies do occur, and I told her that I completely understood. But what was actually going through my mind were feelings of frustration and self-pity. Now I would have to pile the kids in the car, drive to my appointment, and get the kids out of the car and into the elevator, all while making certain they behaved.

On the drive, I thought about how life should be going. I was — twin five-year-olds and a one-year-old. I should be playing in the park with them or visiting the library. But there I was, once again, going to see the oncologist. (Keep reading)

Halloween is full of fun, costumes, and treats — but it can also be a little spooky for our furry friends. Here are a few tips to make sure your pets have a safe and stress-free night:

  1. Keep Candy Out of Reach. Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free treats), and other candies can be toxic to pets. Store them in sealed containers well out of paw's reach.
  2. Watch the Door. With trick-or-treaters coming and going, it's easy for pets to slip outside. Keep them in a safe, quiet room during peak hours.
  3. Choose Pet-Friendly Costumes. If your pet wears a costume, make sure it fits comfortably, doesn't restrict movement, and has no small parts they could chew off.
  4. Decorate Carefully. Pumpkins with candles can be a fire hazard if knocked over. Opt for battery-operated lights instead.
  5. Mind the Noise & Activity. Doorbells, crowds, and unusual sights can cause stress. Provide a calm space away from the commotion.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pets safe and happy this Halloween. Let's make it a treat for everyone — no tricks!
