HALLOWEEN HAUNTING 2024

HALLOWEEN HAUNTING 2024

Today we're posting the 17th edition of our annual Halloween Haunting poem, which first appeared on our Zoolatry blog in October 2007.  Over the years it has been rewritten to reflect the pets that were part of our lives at the time ~ kitties Maggy and Zoey, and later Dougie Dog.  It also changed ever so slightly when we moved from living in Florida and returned North to life in Maryland.  But it has always been a part of our month of Boolatry, that one month when "Zoolatry" fades away a little bit and we try to share the silly, spooky, spectacular fun our pets might have if they were part of BarkOWeen, MeowOWeen ... Halloween!

Oh, if you're wondering, or maybe not ... why HAUNTING is posting today, when Halloween is still one full week away ... next Thursday, October 31 ... well, because we can!  And because we (or JUNE) want to, and want to take a few days from "now on" to focus on some other things impawtent to us.

So, read on if you wish.  JUNE shares our poem, showing off her fave Halloween costume as the one and only polka dot kitty.  And to one and all, when the day does come, be safe.
