Pumpkin cat wants to tell everyone to make sure that you keep your pets indoors or on a leash/collar during Halloween so nothing bad will happen to them! And we need to always keep our pets that stay outside contained in a fenced yard, with a house, water, food, shade...I have seen too many pets out in the middle of the busy roads and they can be hit by cars and be hurt or killed!...I like to purchase these humane tie-up cords that attach to collars..make sure you adjust the collar to fit your pets neck(not too tight!)...but always remember to keep pets safe not just during Halloween but everyday....
to be safe during Halloween and candy time I always did this:
Went to safe house or churches for candy, or people I knew that were safe and good people.
Cute costumes, nothing gross/nasty, something respectable and inexpensive you can even make one
Always have light sticks/glow-in the dark necklaces/bracelets with you and your children so they can be seen in the dark while out and about!
watch traffic on the streets and stay away from people making mischief on the streets you can get into bad trouble if you are with these types of people!
don't stay out on the streets too late into the night when all the homes with candy have went to sleep..I went home by 10:30pm.
I always had a nice candy holder/bucket...mine was a pumpkin basket...I still have it!
Say Thank you when someone gifts you candy on Halloween...I always did.
check candy when you get home and make very sure it is NOT contaminated...some people who you may accidentally go to their homes for candy may be terrible, awful, nasty people and could try to poison you!..always check your candy for needles, drugs, or anything suspicious...be careful.
all kinds of creepy nasty weirdos are usually out looking for children on the streets to hurt or kidnap so keep your children safe and always go with them to make sure they are ok and safe from these weirdos!..
if driving be careful driving in the dark watch out for small children and pets/animals on the streets..drive slow with lights on low beam...Everyone always got bright lighted on the streets for Halloween in my hometown...rude/dangerous!
we always cooked/created this for Halloween and I will post more tomorrow.....
