Dressed-up Pups
What could be better than dogs in Halloween costumes?
The weather is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, and the houses are getting spookier. It's that time of year again, folks: Halloween, and that can only mean one thing: dogs in costumes! Now, I know people have mixed feelings about dressing up dogs, and I know dogs have mixed feelings about being dressed up, but come on! It's just so cute. Here are some of the cutest spooky pups.
1. Riley and His Pal

How cute are these two?! Costumes that make dogs look like they're standing on two legs never fail to be funny. They look so content, too! These cowboys are sure to make a bang at their local rodeo this year.
2. This Spooky Beauty

Wow, what a hauntingly beautiful dog! This costume is so fun, and seems to be low impact on the dog, giving them a full range of motion and keeping them happy. Creepily cute!
3. Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Adorable

Are these costumes practical? Well, no. But are they cute as can be? Heck yeah! These weather beagles could brighten anyone's day. I don't recommend taking your dog for a walk with a giant sun on their head, though.
4. Doug the Pug

Everyone's favorite celebrity pug is back at it again with the costumes! This year, Doug is taking on the ferocious pizza-eating vampire persona, and he couldn't be cuter. It's a low-profile costume that really makes a statement. The teeth add just the perfect touch!
5. Clover, the Golden Beauty

She is beauty, she is grace. What a beautiful, regal pup! Clover dressed as Cinderella is everything a dog could dream of being. I have a feeling the crown would fall off soon after she gets her nose into some smelly grass, but it's the perfect touch of sparkle for this stunning lady.
6. My Hero, Blitzen

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Blitzen the Husky! This big man really pulls off the superhero look well. The red cape and mask are easy to wear and look really cool. I'd definitely want this handsome boy to save me from an evil villain!
7. Boo... It's Blitzen Again

Aww, what a cute throwback! The classic sheet ghost is a perfect go-to costume for both humans and their pups. The snout sticking from the sheet is just too much for me to handle. Too cute to spook!
8. I Ain't Lion

How fun and easy is this!? This boy is channeling his inner beast and letting his kingly qualities come through! A simple headpiece makes for such a cute little lion. I wonder what the neighborhood cats would think...
9. 'IT' the Husky
@kyzerthehusky on Instagram
Ooh, this is spooky! This handsome boy channeled one of this year's biggest horror films, IT, in this costume that's sure to be a hit. His stoic face and sure posture really make the outfit. As creepy as it's supposed to be, I can't help but be charmed by Kyzer's adorable red booties! Don't scare too many kids, okay, buddy?
10. Lady Lobster

Darling it's hotter under the water, take it from Sia! This little lobster is cute as can be, and that costume is cozy, I'm sure. Look at her little puppy face! She's sure to get all the treats with this look!

Phrases We Owe to Shakespeare
If you went to high school at any point in time after 1800, chances are you've read something by Shakespeare. Whether it be Julius Caesar, Romeo & Juliet, or Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare's words have graced your ears, eyes, and brains at some point in your life. Shakespeare's plays come with mixed reviews — they are often regarded highly by literature and theater geeks, while viewed with groans and eye rolls by the rest of society. However, Shakespeare was quite the wordsman, and loved to invent phrases in his writing. Many of these phrases are still used in everyday conversation! Here are the most common ones.

The choice I made..
In the quiet corner of our bustling city, nestled between towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, there was a little pet shop called Paws & Whiskers. It wasn't much to look at from the outside, just a small sign and a modest storefront, but inside, it was a haven for creatures great and small.I remember the day I first stepped into Paws & Whiskers. I was drawn in by the sound of playful barks and the gentle purring of content cats. Rows of cages and aquariums lined the walls, each housing a different animal waiting for a forever home. As I wandered through the aisles, I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and joy wash over me.That's when I saw him – a tiny ball of fur curled up in the corner of a cage. His big, brown eyes met mine, and in that moment, I knew I had found my companion. The choice was made before I even realized it.Bringing him home was a whirlwind of excitement and nerves. I named him Oliver, after the famous literary character who was also a survivor against the odds. From the very beginning, Oliver brought light and laughter into my life. His playful antics and unwavering loyalty became the highlight of my days.But as time went on, I began to notice changes in Oliver. He grew lethargic and withdrawn, his once shiny coat losing its luster. Concerned, I rushed him to the vet, where we received the devastating diagnosis – Oliver was suffering from a rare and aggressive form of cancer.The news hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt helpless and lost, unsure of what to do next. The vet laid out our options – aggressive treatment that offered no guarantees or palliative care to keep Oliver comfortable in his final days. It was the hardest choice I've ever had to make.In the end, I chose to focus on making Oliver's remaining time as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I filled his days with all his favorite things – long walks in the park, endless belly rubs, and plenty of treats. We made memories together that I will cherish forever.As Oliver's condition worsened, I never left his side. I held him close, whispering words of love and gratitude for the joy he had brought into my life. And when the time finally came to say goodbye, I was there, cradling him in my arms as he slipped peacefully away.Losing Oliver was like losing a piece of myself. The grief was overwhelming, but in the midst of it, I found solace in the knowledge that I had given him the best possible life, filled with love and happiness until the very end.In the months that followed, I struggled to come to terms with Oliver's absence. But slowly, with the support of friends and family, I began to heal. And as I looked back on our time together, I realized that the choice I made – to open my heart to Oliver – was the best decision I ever made. Despite the pain of losing him, I wouldn't trade a single moment we shared for anything in the world.
