an idea...what do you think??

[pepe mint]

I have been shopping for halloween stuff. I love handing out candy and stuff like that. I know I always take my doggies out trick-or-treating with my daughter and it would be nice if people gave out doggie treats too! so I am thinking of shopping for some doggie treats I can hand out if anyone else comes by with their dog. what do you guys think of that? of course, i wouldn't just give it to the dog, i would give it to the owner and it would be up to them if they want to give it or not. i know dogs can have allergies to certain things and stuff like that...so i don't want to be rude about it. but i just thought i would be nice to do...what do you think???

of course...nothing that would be on the recall lists LOL

i think that is nice. I am also taking mine with me trick or treating!

I think that is a great idea. I may do that too!! I'm thinking of getting some natural individually wrapped cookies I have seen at Petsmart

I think it would be a really nice gesture.

I think that is a really great idea and very nice of you and I think that you would have a lot of happy doggies! I would be delighted to get a doggie treat while walking around with my furbaby! Good Idea!!

[SevenGirl]

Super idea! We are going to take Bella with us, too!

[HarleysMommy]

I think its a great idea! Anyone who would take their babies trick or treating would surely appreciate the gesture Im sure!!!

I think that is a great idea! If we didn't live out in the "sticks" with no close neighbors, I would love to stay home and pass out candy.......and dog treats!

We take Mojo (and this year with Lily having her first Halloween with us) with us and they get treats from our friends and family......once, Mojo got a treat from an older lady....it was a rawhide stick, we accepted it and moved on....course, he didn't get it, but we didn't say anything about him not being able to have it either. It was nice though. I wish more people would do that, okay, not rawhides, but pass out little treats!

Shoot, you can even buy a bag of healthy treats and bag a few up or just pass out one per dog or something. That would make it go far? OR get some free samples of good dog food and pass those out. Or what are those...Pupcorn treats...they come in a big cannister...so one per dog would work well for that!

Yay....what fun!

We once took Mojo to a little tourist shopping town near us......course it is very dog friendly. He was little bitty....I think he was 6months. We had an older man come up and give him a treat....it was a piece of a beef jerkey stick. He said he carries them around just for the dogs. I didn't appreciate him just giving it to Mojo, but I appreciated his thoughtfulness. Course, Mojo was sick at his tummy that night (thankfully, we had made it home before the runny poo started - sorry)...and I think that was caused by the jerky!

yeah, this is exactly why i would never give it directly to the dog. you just never know. i wouldn't want people putting candy directly in my daughters mouth...why should doing it to a dog be different???

YUCK - I think I would definitely be grossed out and very PO'd if someone put something in my daughters mouth!!!

But, some people don't think to ask...just like coming up to a pregnant lady and touching her belly what is up with that??

I am living thru you on this on!!! I am excited!!!!
