Halloween Hounds: Milk-Bone Study Shows Dogs Are Ultimate Trick-or-Treaters And A ~~Giveaway~~
I am a huge Halloween fan. Right now because the kids are still young enough, I can get away with us all wearing themed costumes. Last year I was Alice, my Husband was a Card, and my kids were Dweedle Dee and Dweedle Dum!! I can't wait to show you our costumes for this year, but they have to stay a secret just a little longer!!
This is our first Halloween with Kevin. We of course bought him a costume to go along with our theme!! I bought him another costume the other day to see how well he would handle being dressed up. He was not as easy to keep clothed as Sammy was!! Here is Kevin in the costume. It's hard to tell, but he is wiggling constantly and eating the costume!!
Sammy was usually much better with keeping her clothes on!! It must be a girl thing!! This was our theme back in 2012.
Do you have pets that you dress up for Halloween?? I have seen not only dogs, but cats, bunnies, and even a lizard get dressed up before!!
Milk Bone has come up with a great list of Halloween stats about how pet parents and their furry friends celebrate the holiday. Can you relate??
Although Halloween has usually been considered a children's holiday, these days increasing numbers of "furry kids" are getting in on the fun.
Big Heart Pet Brands (the makers of Milk-Bone, Pup-Peroni, Canine Carry Outs and Milo's Kitchen) conducted an original survey of 3,000 dog parents nationwide to find the top 25 states that most like to include their pups, the nation's most popular "Doggy Halloween Tricks," and each breed's favorite special treats -- right in time for the spooky-fun holiday.
Fun Halloween Stats:
*** PET PARENTS LOVE TO INCLUDE THEIR DOGS ON HALLOWEEN ***
44% of NY pet parents have dressed their dog in costume versus 28% of California pet parents
38% of NY pet parents have greeted trick-or-treaters with their dog while 18% of pet parents in California have
18% of Texas pet parents have given their dog extra treats for Halloween and 16% have taken their dog trick-or-treating.
*** DIFFERENT TREATS FOR DIFFERENT BREEDS ***
Big dogs like Dobermans and Great Danes prefer "real meat treats", while most small ones (Pomeranians and Pugs) choose "soft and chewy" snacks - like Pup-Peroni
Soft and chewy treats are also the all-time favorites of terriers (58%), and toy dogs (59%)
Biscuits and crunchy treats (like Milk-Bone) are the clear favorites of hounds (53%), herding dogs (56%), and sporting dogs (57%)
*** MILO KITCHEN'S HALLOWEEN "DOGGY TRICKS TOP 10 RANKING" ***
Because dogs are the ultimate tricksters, Milo's Kitchen brand dog treats wanted to uncover, for the first time, which tricks dogs are best able to perform. The nation's most popular doggy tricks are:
#1: Sit (77% of dogs can do this on command)
#2: Shake paws (58%)
#3: Lay down (57%)
#4: Stay (50%)
#5: Give a kiss (44%)
#6: Beg (31%)
#7: Roll over (27%)
#8: Speak or bark (26%)
#9: Spin (14%)
#10: Play dead (10%)

The Top Notable Alumni of Princeton University
Princeton University is an Ivy League institution and one of the top colleges in the nation. The university is so selective in who it admits that less than 10% of those who apply will receive an acceptance letter. When you look over the names of those who attended Princeton, you'll find some recognizable names on that list.
Entertainers
Brooke Shields made headlines when she walked away from an acting career to study at Princeton, but the actress claimed that she wanted to spend some time focusing on her studies. Shields graduated with her degree in 1987. While taking classes on campus, Shields had a relationship will fellow student Dean Cain. Cain, the star of the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, graduated that same year. Ellie Kemper, who appeared on The Office and in films like Bridesmaids, also attended Princeton before beginning her acting career.
Professional Athletes
Though Princeton has a strong reputation for its educational programs, it also has a good reputation in the sports world. Professional football players like Ross Tucker, Frank McPhee and Red Howard all attended the university. While some players leave and enter the professional world before graduating, others earned degrees before starting their professional careers. Dennis Norman, who previously played for the San Diego Charges, graduated in 2001, and Geoff Petrie graduated in 1970 before playing in the NBA and later becoming the head of the Sacramento Kings.
Business World
Princeton has one of the top rated business degree programs in the country, which might explain why some of its graduates now own and work for major companies. Pete Briger fortress investment executive graduated from the university, and Andrea Jung earned her degree at Princeton before becoming the CEO of Avon. Joe Kennedy, now known as the president of Pandora Radio, was once just a student studying business on campus. Other notable alumni now famous in the business field include Malcolm Forbes, Donold Lourie of Quaker Oats, Ellen Pao of Reddit, Eric Schmidt, James S. McDonnell, Peter B. Lewis and Sandi Peterson.
Authors
Some students attend Princeton University because they want to hone their writing skills, and some of its alumni receive numerous awards for their writing. Lorraine Adams graduated in 1981 and later won a Pulitzer Prize for her writing. Though he didn't graduate, F. Scott Fitzgerald did study at Princeton and later claimed that it helped give him inspiration for his book The Great Gatsby. Famous authors of the modern age like Eric Schlosser, Jennifer Weiner and Jodi Picoult also attended Princeton. Nineteen former students who either graduated from Princeton later received the Pulitzer Prize.
Fictional Students
If you love television shows, books or movies, you'll find that some fictional students had connections to Princeton University too. President Logan from the TV show 24, Jack Donaghy of the TV show 30 Rock and even Doogie Howser himself attended Princeton. The university also appeared in films like Across the Universe, In Her Shoes and Risky Business. Those films either showed characters studying on campus or receiving an acceptance letter from the university. As one of the oldest and most reputable schools in the country, it's not surprising that Princeton alumni represent some of the best in the business, writing, athletic, entertainment and even fictional worlds.

Suffragette In Select Theaters This Friday!! #Suffragette
Opens in Select Theaters October 23 and across the country in November
~Directed by~ ~Produced by ~ ~Written by~
Sarah Gavron Alison Owen and Faye Ward Abi Morgan
~Starring~
Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter,
Brendan Gleeson, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Whishaw,
Romola Garai, Natalie Press, and Meryl Streep
Academy Award nominees Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, and three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, lead the cast of a powerful drama about the women who were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. The stirring story centers on Maud (played by Carey Mulligan), a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the U.K.’s growing Suffragette movement. Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. When increasingly aggressive police action forces Maud and her dedicated fellow Suffragettes underground, they engage in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the authorities, who are shocked as the women’s civil disobedience escalates and sparks debate across the nation. Inspired by true events, Suffragette is a moving drama exploring the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women’s right to vote – their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives. Produced by Academy Award nominee Alison Owen and Golden Globe Award nominee Faye Ward, Suffragette is directed by BAFTA Award winner Sarah Gavron from an original screenplay by Emmy Award winner Abi Morgan.
