Halloween.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bonnie's Mom · 10-31-2005, 09:09 AM

This is the first halloween we have had Bonnie, and I am worried about her having a nervouse breakdown tonight when all the trick-or-treaters start ringing the doorbell! She has a fit when the doorbell rings and runs toward the door barking! We will probably try to sit outside with her on the porch swing and give out candy, but I think she still might get fidgety. Have any others ever dealt with this on Halloween? If so how did you handle it?

Happy Halloween!!!!
That's what we do, I set up outside,
then when the trick or treaters come
they don't have to walk up the stairs to
our home and ring the bell. Princess sits and waits with us.
She has a great time with all the hugs she gets!

I've been wondering the same thing today!!! I now have four and when our doorbell rings Bitsy starts barking and the other three follow suit....monkey see..monkey do

I don't want to shut them up in another room though and I don't have a clue!

I was thinking the same thing. Last year Mac was to sick to worry about the door bell. Now him and Mellie go nuts when they hear people coming up the walk let alone the doorbell. I am going to take them trick or treating with me when I take my daughter and her friends. Later in the night we shouldn't have that many. Hopefully they will be tuckered out from their trick or treating.

I dont know what I am going to do either Chloe doesnt bark but she starts running around the room as fast as she can like someone is chasing her She will be so tired tonight maybe she will go to bed really early and she wont have to hear all of the trick or treaters.

rrosenberry · 10-31-2005, 01:35 PM

Yes, I experienced that last year,, him trying to get out,and play with all the kids everytime, they came to the door,,,so This year me and my girlfriend are gonna go walk around the neighborhood, and check all the kids out that way.. Might dress him up,,, not sure...Dont have an outfit,,,BAD mommy!!

troubletb · 10-31-2005, 01:37 PM

I'm going to try to put mine in the yard! I can not imagine all three running for the door every 3 minutes!

chachi · 10-31-2005, 01:40 PM

Well Chachi wont do well at all with the trick or treaters he would be barking and running out the door so were gonna put him up in our bedroom. Jewels is better so she can stay downstairs. Im gonna take her with us when I take my daughter trick or treating

schatzie · 10-31-2005, 04:07 PM

That sounds like a great idea you have about sitting outside. Schatzie would freak out too w/ a non stop ringing door. Luckily we live in the middle of no-where so no trick or treaters for us.

YorkieShadow · 10-31-2005, 11:02 PM

Love the pictures. Shes adorable.

Bonnie's Mom · 11-01-2005, 10:37 AM

Thanks! Well we survived, but Bonnie voted last night that next year we don't celebrate Halloween! Poor thing, she was jerking in her sleep last night I think she was dreaming of doorbells ringing! I tried sitting outside, but when they started walking up to the porch, she jumped out of my lap and ran to the door to go inside! Most of our trick-or-treaters came in bunches so there was some rest in between and I sat and held her which is all she wants anyway!

Winston and I sat outside too. I had to bribe him the whole time with Cheerios. He was just besided himself with the little ghosts and goblins.
