The family cat, Peanut Butter, is 17 years old and she may be dying. I waited to write about this because I was too upset to do it earlier, when I first admitted to myself that it was a possibility.

Imagine going outside and finding a bunch of strangers dressed in weird clothes, laughing and shouting and running around. Some people don’t even look human, and most of them are strangers.

Every Halloween, pet owners spend millions of dollars on pet Halloween costume
s. They dress up their dogs and cats in everything from a simple ghost costume to elaborately coiffed pirate get-ups, long gowns, zombie clothes or UPS uniforms. It’s all in good fun, but there are lots of pet Halloween costumes out there that don’t measure up to the safety standards you should have in order to make sure your pet is injured in any way on Halloween night.

I admit it, I can be a bit of a Halloween junkie. We decorate the outside of our house, I sometimes wear a costume to hand out treats, and I always attend “Witches’ Night Out,” a festive, local event held every year that includes everything from a costume contest and discounted shopping to the Warlock’s Ball, complete with magical drinks and a live band at night.
