Forget the Treat, this is a TRICK
As I mentioned on facebook, Wallace found trick-or-treating very confusing and against everything he stands for. First, people in strange outfits with flashlights come in our yard and we proceeded to open the door for them. Then, they say one of the only recognizable words in his four word vocabulary,"treat" and they THEY get the candy. He thought the whole thing sucked and that it was a pretty raw deal.
Doglight Savings Time
Since Sunday our dog has been been even lazier than normal (if that is even possible). He doesn't get it and all that he knows is that his internal clock is seriously out of whack.
Party Lines
Unfortunately for Wallace, our house is next door to a polling location SIDERANT: ours is at a church. Ever wondered why we vote where we pray? Click here in case you're interested in reading a great piece about it! Since the traffic starting at 6:30 AM and ending at 8:00 PM was crazy, little pooch was not allowed outside without strict supervision and his standard walking agenda was severely affected by us, and our neighbor's, civic duties.

Pupcorn Mayhem
Wallace would make the worst hunting dog on the face of the earth since he nearly pees himself whenever he hears anything that sounds remotely like fireworks or gunshots. So, you can imagine the scene that occurs in our household when I want to make my one of my favorite things in the world, homemade popcorn on the stove.
When I went to make popcorn this week I was really excited to use one of our wedding presents, a non-stick ceramic pot. After the popping was done and the kitchen was filled with the amazing popcorn smell, I slid the pot off the stovetop. BOOM!!. And I don't mean "BOOM" like the popcorn that I made was amazing...I mean "BOOM" as in the ceramic pot exploded right in front of me and Wallace. He beelined to the nearest corner and shook for about a half an hour.
Since I had just taken the pot out of the original package, I referred back to the instructions to see if there was anything that I had missed. Turns out that a ceramic pot that is microwave, oven and dishwasher safe....does not mean that it is stovetop safe. So back to square one with our old pot.
Friday Houdini Fiasco
Well, not exactly sure why or what possessed him to do this...but...Wallace escaped his kennel on Friday. Luckily our neighbor recognized the sad looking little beagle limping around the park howling his buns off at 3:00 in the afternoon and brought him to her house to call us.
In the process of escaping, Wallace injured his front paw. I was genuinely concerned about it and was planning on taking him in on Monday...the next incident happened this morning.
Big Buck Hunter
While raking leaves hungover this morning, a four point buck strolled into our yard. Imagine my shock when our "injured" dog that has been hobbling around for 24 hours went into a dead sprint and proceeded to chase a buck through our yard, into the park and then multiple blocks while Adam screamed his lungs off.
In closing, it's pretty hard to have sympathy for this gimp after witnessing the big buck hunter scene.

| Sorry to whoever gave this to us for a our wedding! Opps! |

| On a high note, he learned how to catch popcorn in his mouth after we made a new batch! |
