And They’re Back! (Annual Visit of the Skeleton Crew)

Time to rejoice and be glad, for our old pal Slim has returned for his annual October visit.  His devoted dog posse is with him, of course:  Champ, Fluffy, Elfrida and tiny twins Ruth and Rocky, all in the highest of Halloween spirits.  The group has kept to their diets for months, and now it’s time to chow down on treats.  When Slim and friends show up, every day is a candy corn and Butterfingers kind of day. 

These beautiful late October days have been perfect for basking in the sun during breaks from Halloween prep. 

Slim shares a particularly hilarious anecdote from his days as a Princeton grad student. 

Slim and the gang love tradition.  Ever the gracious, generous hosts at our church Trunk or Treat event, they’re eager to catch up with old friends like this perky Pink Lady and currently furry Sheltie pup. 

Kiko joins the pack for their pre-Halloween joyride.     

Could Kiko be more ready for a ride?  Enough with the banter, Slim, his upright posture and forward focus declare, let’s get a move on!

And so Slim peeled out, but with expert control and discretion, and he was off to buy more goodies for the main event.  (The gang has perhaps indulged in too much snacking.)  

Halloween is here!  Be ready!
