October Quick Tip
By HavanaHolly
To age windows for a haunted house, try "washing" the windows with a 50-50 mix of white glue & water & wipe it off with a cotton ball. (Thanks Holly!)

The Critter Corner!
"I’d only dress like this for a Chocolate Kiss"
Milo, the miniature greyhound, has a covert taste for chocolate tidbits and we’re pretty sure he allowed his human to put him in this lil’ devil suit in hopes of getting to go Trick or Treating. From what we hear, Milo is a real angel (just don’t ask the cat for her opinion about that!!)
Thank you Nutti for sharing such a great picture of Milo with us! Milo will receive a $25 gift certificate from Petsmart for being the October Critter of the Month.If you'd like to submit your pet's picture for
consideration for the Critter Corner, you can upload
pictures in the "Good Pets
acting bad!" or "Good Pets acting cute!"
galleries at the Greenleaf Forum.
