Tonight's picture was taken on October 20, 2007. Mattie was five years old and in kindergarten. That weekend his school had their Fall homecoming and Festival. So we took Mattie to the Fall Festival of events. It involved everything from face painting, moon bounces, to food. We met up with many of Mattie's kindergarten buddies that day. Mattie had a great time. What was remarkable about this was a month or two before this point, Mattie was sad and upset that he had to leave his preschool to attend elementary school. But after about a month at his new school, he loved it. He fit in, had a lovely group of friends and all the parents of these friends remain committed to Mattie's Foundation even today.

My mom sent me this cute video today of dogs dressed up for Halloween. If you are a dog fan, click on this photo below. It had me laughing. I have had many people over the years ask me if I was going to dress Sunny up for Halloween. Mainly because Sunny is so handsome! Peter is not a big fan of costumes and outfits on dogs, so therefore Sunny is spared! I had no idea that the whole idea of dressing your dog up for Halloween was a controversial topic. Until I Googled it! What isn't controversial these days? Seems to me that the decision to dress up your dog or not, should depend on the temperament of the dog.
Sunny is part Australian Shepherd. Below are some cute Halloween photos of shepherds/maybe a collie or two! I don't think Sunny would like having any clothing on him, but I can picture him in each of these costumes.
A Bee!
A cowboy!
Dr. Seuss!
The king!
Golf anyone?
An adorable ghost!
A butterfly!
The emperor!
At times the trail is flat! But you always have to watch the ground to prevent tripping over tree roots, rocks, and other debris.
It was like a spring day today! The water was peaceful and calm.
See this! We climbed through these rocks to get from one side to the other. Sunny had no problem! But he was patient as I figured out how to get across.
See that white tail? This deer literally leaped in front of us on the trail. Sunny let out with a lot of barking and if he wasn't leashed, he'd be flying after that deer.
Lots of climbing and walking! But Sunny gets plenty of water breaks. I think he matches the autumn leaves.
Sunny loves riding in the car and he particularly loves staring out the window at the woods!
While Sunny is my side kick, Indie is Peter's. Peter was in the kitchen prepping ribs for tonight. Indie always remains close! I honestly think she is part dog.
Indie found where we keep a spare feather toy of hers! Don't you know she dug it out and started playing with it.
Indie with her blue feather! Indie is a "birder." She is far more intrigued by birds than let's say squirrels, mice, or things that scurry!
