Rollo, Taz & Molly looking very festive! (I love this shot as they are all doing their own thing)
“A gypsy fire is on the hearth, sign of the carnival of mirth; through the dun fields and from the glade, flash merry folk in masquerade, for this is Hallowe’en!”
Like always these three were 3 x as fun! We had fun with games of fetch and right before we leashed up to head home. Rollo dropped the ball in the Harbour and watched it float away (this is one of his favorite games!).
Tinoh, looking very handsome in his Halloween attire
“The air resounds with tuneful notes from myriads of straining throats, all hailing Folly Queen; so join the swelling choral throng, forget your sorrow and your wrong, in one glad hour of joyous song to honor Hallowe’en!”
Well it was Tinoh’s last week with me (living with me) and I just know he is so super excited to see his mum on Tuesday. I am sure going to miss him as he is such a fun dog and such a sweet boy. We had a farewell party for Tinoh at Mort Bay this morning so there will be more photos of that next week. We’ll miss you buddy, and although you’ll have so much fun in NZ I can’t wait for your return next year!
Rusty & Little, although they were not too impressed with their Halloween head "attire" they knew there would be treats after...
“It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween! The moon is full and bright, and we shall see what can’t be seen on any other night. Skeletons & ghosts & ghouls, grinning goblins fighting duels, werewolves rising from their tombs, witches on their magic brooms.”
It was really wonderful to see Rust & Little this week, it had felt like ages since I saw them last (just a few weeks really). I got a very warm greeting when I arrived and as we walked out the door it was just like old times. We went to a favorite spot and Rusty had his swim and found a long branch to chew on, while little found another Jack Russell to have a play with!
Baci & Bizou with ghost and bats upon their heads celebrating Halloween!
“Eye of newt, and toe of frog, wool of bat, and bark of dog, adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting, lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing, for a charm of powerful trouble, like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
William Shaespeare (adjusted to be dog friendly)
It was great to have the girls out with me this week as I had not seen them in a while. They had great fun playing with Tinoh in the mornings and other park dogs.
Jester getting into the Halloween spirit!
“Come with me all Hallow’s night, we’ll frighten everyone in sight, such pranks for once, are justified, and fun and frolic amplified.”
Jester had some fun walks this week, and did well without his Halti, I was quite impressed! With only a few pics this week as it is a short week and I had the camera die on me on Wednesday, we only managed to get these few shots in but at least Jester looks great in them!
Darcy looking super cute with spooky Halloween ghosts upon his head!
“May Jack-o-lanterns burning bright of soft and golden hue, pierce through the future’s veil and show, what fate now holds for you.”
Little Darcy enjoyed posing for his ‘spooky’ Halloween photos as he got some tasty treats after! This week he had great playdates with his two girls Maddy & Olive.
Dash waiting by the door looking sweet and not so Halloween spooky!
"There's a goblin at my window, a monster by my door, the pumpkin at my table keeps smiling more & more. There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom, a witch whose face is green. They used to be my family, til the dressed for Halloween!"
Dash was surprisingly (normally he doesn't like the camera) one of the easiest to get a Halloween photo of! I started thinking that maybe I should dress him up each week to get him to look at the camera.... but maybe I just had extra good treats that day or maybe it was because Dash is from New York and he misses Halloween. We had lovely easy-going walks this week and Dash was very well-behaved (though he normally is).
Chilli is trick or treating in this photo!
“Pumpkin time is here again, time to play Trick or Treat. Pumpkin time is here again, our spooky friends we’ll meet. See the costumes we have on, Monsters, ghosts, goblins too. See the costumes we have on, hear us all shout BOO!”
Little Chilli and Molly came out for a walk and a play down to Mort Bay. They are just so cute playing together. I noticed that they like to stalk magpies together, although they never catch up but simply chase and chase them!
Maddy moo posing her Halloween photo, not looking a bit scary!
“Goblins peering out of windows, spirit-things that rap and run, but don’t be scared.. it’s just October, having one last hour of fun!”
Maddy as always loved her walks and playdates this week with her best friends and to her favorite Balmain spots. She loves a swim and then always gets a burst of super energy and runs around like the wind. I bet Maddy is really looking forward to her mum and dad’s return from their honeymoon next week!
Millie posing with her Halloween ghost headband!
“Lock your doors, and turn out the lights, or ghosts and goblins will spook you with fright! Jump in bed the pull the covers up tight, close your eyes until the morning is light.”
Millie had a quite a few hot day swims this week (although Millie doesn’t need the weather as an excuse to have a swim) and of course some playdates with friends and even some new friends (this week also with Bizou & Baci).
Olive, pre-halloween pose
“On Hallowe’en the thing you must do, is pretend that nothing can frighten you, and if somethin’ scares you and you want to run, just let on like it’s Hallowe’en fun.”
This week was much fun, Olive not only had playdates with her besties but I took her on some long walks too, I thought it would tire her out a little but no such luck, Olive has lots of energy especially when there are birds to chase!
Little Molly sitting so still while her Halloween ghost headband slips off, what a good girl
“When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ’tis near Halloween.”
Although little Molly had sore knees this week she still wanted to come out for a low-key walk and a short play with her BFF Chilli. Hope little Molly is feeling better soon.
Chelsea after our afternoon walk
New to our pack today is Chelsea! Chelsea is just sweetheart, she is 10 years old and is quite an unusual mix of Greyhound & German Shepherd (just like Dash). Chelsea loves to have a quiet walk with a game of ball after when we get back home. As Chelsea is new to Walks N’ Wags there will be more photos to come in the coming months.
Little Bear
We give a warm welcome to our Walks N’ Wags pack this week, Little Bear! This super cute little man is 4 years old and is a Jack Russell. Little Bear loves a good game of ball and also is quite the water baby. Today on our first walk I was quite impressed that not only did Bear sit when asked he also rolled over numerous times! More photos to come next week on our walks.
I took Kammy out for a mini photoshoot, she is such a sweet heart! she is posing here at White bay
This lovely lady is Bijou, spotted here at Mort Bay posing and taking a quick break from a game of ball.

Spring & Summer are the perfect times of year to focus on the “Exercise” part of the fulfillment formula! Try new activities, visit a new location, and enjoy the sunshine and your dog’s companionship.
No matter what physical activity you engage in, it is important to watch for signs of dehydration: lethargy, sunken or bloodshot eyes, dry gums, increased heart rate, paleness, and loss of skin elasticity. Make sure your dog has access to clean, fresh water at all times!
