Unfortunately,Halloween can be atraumatic and even dangeroustime for your pet, saysthe ASPCA. Here are someguidelines for keeping yourfurry friends safe.• Don’t leave your petout in the yard on Halloween.There are plenty ofstories of viciouspranksters who haveteased, injured, stolen, evenkilled pets on this night.• Keep pets away fromthe front door, preferably ina quiet room. Between thedoorbell ringing, odd-lookingstrangers at the doorand loud, high-pitched children’svoices, this Halloweenis no “treat” foryour dog or cat.• Trick-or-treat candiesare not for pets: Chocolateis poisonous to many animals,and tin foil and cellophanecandy wrappers canbe hazardous if swallowed.• Be careful of petsaround a jack-o-lantern;they may knock it over andcause a fire or get burned.• Don’t dress your dogin a costume unless youknow he or she loves it.Otherwise, it puts a lot ofstress on the animal. If youdo choose to dress up yourpet, make sure the costumeisn’t too constricting,annoying or unsafe, anddoesn’t cloud Fido’s vision.Even the friendliest of dogscan get agitated and snappywhen they can’t see what’sSINCE1928going on around them.• Make sure your petsare wearing identificationtags. Many animals slip outof the house when the dooris opened to trick-ortreaters.Once outside, theymay become frightenedfrom all of the commotionand run or hide. An I.D. tagwill help someone identifyyour lost pet.Helping You YDo It YOURSELFHARDWARE MILLSHARDWARE130 Louisiana Ave. • Perrysburg419-874-4502★ SCREEN & WINDOW REPAIR ★Come to us for all the tools and suppliesyou’ll need to tackleyour home improvement projects.★ Hardware ★ Paint★ Electrical Supplies★ Rentals★ Lawn & Garden Supplies★ Screen & Window Repair★ Lamp or Small Appliance Repair★ Sharpening ServicesSpecial Orders Are Our SpecialtyLocal Service/Expert AdviceHOURS: Monday-Friday, 8-6; Saturday, 8-5:30

Sad buttrue.That’s why many chooseto skip the trick-or-treatingand look for safer - yetequally fun - activities instead.Here are some spooktacularalternatives:1. Haunted gathering: Achaperoned, organized Halloweenparty is as good asscouring the neighborhoodfor treats, wit a lot lessmileage. If guests still want afeel of hunting for treats, organizea scavenger huntaround the house with cluespointing to hidden candytreats or ghastly tricks. Youcan even make your event athemed Halloween party(where everyone is requiredto dress in a particular way:pirates, jungle, Hawaiian,etc.) and everyone votes onthe best costume.2.

This waychildren can visit reputablestores in a safe manner andcome home with candy,coupons and more.3. Spooky sleepout: Thecrisp, autumn weather can bethe ideal time to sleep underthe stars ... or amid the tombstones.Invite a small gatheringof brave friends to stakeout their spots in the backyard.Scary ghost stories, s’-mores and "truth or dare" typeactivities are a must on AllHallows Eve.4.

Or,host a Halloween pot luckwhere everyone brings theirown favorites. There areplenty of recipes out there,but here’s a quick idea: Crushan Oreo® pre-made pie crustto create chocolate crumbs(much easier than separatingthe cream from the cookiesand crushing). Use thecrumbs to coat frosting oncupcakes or cakes, or to coverpudding. The result looks likedirt and can be used to createsmall-scale gravesites, earthwormhomes and so manyother spooky ideas.
