Dear Abby - Halloween with Dogs and Retro Fun - Lots of Links!

Dear friends,

Boo!  Are you ready for Halloween?   I am as ready as I can get, which means I will certainly be in the bedroom listening to happy music during all the noise of trick-or-treaters.

I wanted to share some Halloween links with you.  Some are my old Halloween posts, and others are retro themed posts by my Momma.  I hope you enjoy them!

Dear Abby - Linky and Summer Break

Dear Friends,

I am planning to take a Summer break from blogging!   My Momma will post a note here next week, and then we are off for the Summer.  I am hoping for a fun Summer, with lots of sunshine and time to relax.

I wanted to share a few of my favorite links from this year's blog posts with you.

I enjoyed looking at favorite dog movies.  A few of my favorites:
The Ugly Dachshund
Lady and the Tramp
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
The Wizard of Oz

Here is a glimpse of an exciting new Dachshund museum in Germany!

If you enjoy vintage dog imagery, you'll find some here:
Vintage Easter cards featuring dogs
Vintage dachshund Valentines

Close up from the Dairy Queen picture above -- that Dachshund is ready for her ice cream (and so am I!).

I hope you enjoy these links, and I hope you have a wonderful Summer!  I look forward to catching up with you again after Labor Day!

Love,

Dear Abby - Halloween Dog Linky

Dear Friends,

Just a short post to wish you a very Happy Halloween!  If you have pets, do they enjoy dressing up?  What do they think of the holiday?

I am not so sure about Halloween.  It involves lots of knocking at the door, which I am not wild about.  I usually spend time in my bedroom listening to some relaxing music.   

I don't mind dressing up (upon occasion!) and you'll see a picture of me in my angel costume just above.

Today I would like to share a few fun Halloween links with you from previous years at my blog.

Pets in Halloween Costumes features me and some of my friends dressed up for the holiday.

I hope you enjoy these links, and wish you a very happy Halloween!  I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
