The Dog Ate My Passport?
A couple from Massachusetts was just a week from their dream wedding in Italy when they left home to run errands, and pick up last-minute marriage documents and travel items. While they were out, their one-and-a-half-year-old Golden Retriever, Chickie, caused some serious trouble. Chickie chewed on the groom's passport and ripped out some pages. 

With international travel for their wedding just a few days later, Frattaroili worked with his congressman and senator to help expedite a new passport. Luckily, the new documents came right before they were scheduled to leave. Chickie is staying home with friends while her parents get married. Hopefully, she doesn't cause any trouble at the sitters.

Recipe: Do(g)-It-Yourself Sweet & Spooky No-Bake Treats
Whether your dog is invited to a Halloween party this year or not, you can still help them enjoy the festivities by preparing this simple, no-bake treat filled with nutritious pumpkin. It's a healthy but tasty treat with vitamins, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. It will make up for the fact that pups can't trick or treat for candy.

No-Bake Halloween Pumpkin Treat
You'll need: six Medjool dates, ¾ cup of pumpkin puree (canned or freshly pureed), 1 ½ cups of almond meal, two carrots, ½ tsp of cinnamon, and ¼ tsp of turmeric
  1. Soften dates for 20 minutes in warm water.
  2. Dry dates with a paper towel, and then add to the food processor with the pumpkin puree and blend.
  3. Grate the carrots, then add to the dates and pumpkin mix. Blend until smooth.
  4. Add the mixture to a mixing bowl and pour in the dried ingredients. This will form a thick paste.
  5. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from fridge and roll into balls. Add some almond meal if the mixture is too sticky. 
  7. Serve to your dog!

Five Reasons Your Dog Should Sleep In Your Bed
Many pet owners go back and forth about whether to let their dogs sleep in bed with them. While there are many opinions, this author shares five reasons it's a good idea
  • Healing and rehabilitation. If your dog has to undergo any surgery or procedures, it might be best to let them sleep next to you to help keep an eye on them while they recover. Extra snuggles always help.
  • Monitoring health conditions. Some dogs have health concerns as they age, and owners want to monitor things.
  • Comfort and emotional bonding. Having your dogs sleep near you improves your emotional bond with them.
  • Enhanced sleep quality. Dogs have a calming influence and reduce stress. 
  • Improved safety and security. Dogs are protective and can alert you of intruders or potential threats. 
If you decide to make this the norm in your house, having some ground rules is good. For example, no playing with toys on the bed or only coming up when invited. Sweet dreams!
