....we don't get many kids around here anymore, but we always get some candy to hand out to those that do.....mostly neighbor kids and g'kids....

....miniature candy bars this year..........what's everyone else handing out, if anything

We haven't had trick or treaters in several years.  We live on a rural road with not a lot of houses.  There is a subdivision to our east and one to our west.  All the kids go to the subdivisions where the house density is much higher.  We always get a big bowl of candy ready and then eat it ourselves when nobody shows up.

That's what I'm handing out.

I'm giving out candy corn and peanut butter kisses as a trick.
They thought they were getting real candy.

I live too far out of the way for kids to visit, although I have small candy bars on hand to hand out.

I haven't done a whole lot today except for groom 2 dogs.  One dog has a brain tumor and dementia as well as being blind.  She wasn't an easy job because she didn't have a clue what was going on.  Luckily the owner let me know that she was not expecting a perfect job.  She certainly didn't get one.  The dog would freak, then calm down then freak again.  I gave her a long break in the middle of the groom because I needed it.  Doing a dog like that is very stressful.

The owner told me that the vet wasn't able to cut the dogs nails.  She turned blue and needed oxygen.  I had no trouble with the nails but the head, face and front legs just got a half assed job because it was the best I could do.  The lady knows that the dog should be put to sleep but her husband wasn't ready.  It might have been a relief to her if the dog died during the groom.  I hope I never have to go through a death of a dog in my shop.  Despite the dog's and my stress the dog never turned blue and I was never afraid that she would die on me.  I sure do hope she gets PTS before she needs another groom.

My good new is that I found the screws that hold the handle and other parts securely to my pressure washer.  I was afraid I had tossed them out when I threw the box on the burn pile, but they were right here on my desk which is full of junk.
