Name: Blair
Name Meaning(s): From 'The Blair witch project' which popped into my head
Gender: Female
Prompt: Blair loved Halloween as a pup, her first halloween; she always went to the door with her owners when they were giving out candy; Blair loved to see all the costumes of the kids as they went on by and loved all the cuddles and attention she got from them. You could usually find blair with her little bat wings on holding the treat pumpkin by the door. Blair soon got to go out with her own kid alex; they were dressed as a bat and a witch, the perfect little combination! Blair stood by Alex all night long as she usually did; little alex was only 5 at the time so blair; being a large dog, permitted alex to sit on her back the way home; Alex's parents held alex steady as to not hurt Blair's back, Blair loved giving a ride to Alex, she was very young and light at this time and never bothered Blair; Alex's parents could trust blair to safely make sure their daughter had a happy and stress free ride at only 1 year old for Blair!. After around 14 houses; Alex fell asleep in the soft fur of Blair's neck. Blair felt alex's head rest on her and walked ever so carefully as ever back home; Alex's treat bag in mouth.Blair even saw a cat which she would have so loved to chase, but held herself back until little Alex was safely back in her bed. Blair climbed up onto alex's bed and snuggled at the bottom near her feet. Blair made a habit of looking after Alex since she was introduced to the family; every halloween since Blair patrols the neighborhood with alex in tow on lookout for candy (and cats!) Alex quickly grew too old to ride upon her best friends back but that didn't stop alex from taking blair with her wherever she went.

Name: Roux
Name Meaning(s):

Roux is from a Latin word meaning russet or brownish red; it's also a cooking term for a mixture of flour and butter that forms the foundation of many gravies or sauces.
(Pronunciation: roo) (I thought the name sounded really adorable for this collie!)

Gender: Male
Prompt: The house was eerily quiet apart from the crackling of the firepit. Beside the fireplace laid a thick coated dog, their legs stretched out in a "sploot" as the comfortably rested. Tonight he was alone, his owners had gone to take their children out on a walk- they had referred to it as "trick-or-treating", whatever that must've meant. Roux stayed behind, he didn't do well with big crowds of people. He was never a fan of anything remotely scary. This was his Halloween, and so far it was going swell. Roux was laying on a lush carpet in front of the fireplace, he was relaxed.

Much to his dismay, his night alone didn't last long. Roux could hear people scuffling on the porch, lightly knocking in hopes to get some treats. That wasn't fair, how come humans got to run around and beg, but he couldn't? The collie's soft hues cracked open as he yawned, perhaps he could ward off the beggars; that sounded like a marvelous plan! Getting up, the canine walked towards the door, his ears pinned back on his cranium as he stuffed his snout in-between the blinds on the window. He had a good view of the porch in front of the door, and all of the children as well. Did he really want to scare them off?

Roux pushed his nose against the cool glass of the window, and barked. At the moment, scaring the kids seemed like a fantastic idea. However, he came to realize that no one was taking him seriously. The children turned their gazes to the window, staring blankly before they all erupted into a fit of giggles. They were amused. Roux's tail wagged subconsciously, he had made people happy! As he watched the children giggle he realized something, maybe he could enjoy Halloween!

The kids all wandered off a few minutes later, and another group made it's way to the porch. Roux wondered why more children came, they weren't able to see anyone get candy from this house- so why approach it? Unbeknownst to him, they wanted to see what made the other kids laugh. They had been strolling along when they heard the undeniable laughter of other children, and they sounded super happy. They wanted to be happy too!

If one thing could get Roux to like something, it would be happiness. He thoroughly enjoyed making humans happy- especially the little ones. Something about hearing them giggle and snort made him feel like he was a hero. So when the next group of kids showed up, he popped his head back into the window, pushing blinds aside (possibly breaking some) and stuffed his snout against the window with all of his teeth exposed in the wackiest looking grin ever. He wiggled his body as he barked, and the children loved it.

Naturally, Roux decided to keep doing this until the night ended. While he couldn't give the little humans any treats, he could make them laugh- which was just as good (if not, better) than some candy. If you asked him, he would say that he had a wonderful first Halloween. How could causing so much laughter and joy be anything but wonderful?

You'll find the joyful collie entertaining the kids every Halloween!

Name: Polar North's Orange Leaves And Aspen Trees // Bronn
Name Meaning(s): Dark
Gender: Male
Prompt: It was a chilly October evening when everything went down. Bronn had only been at the ranch for about three days now and was still adjusting to everything. He watched as the handlers took animals into the barn, an orange glow emitting from inside- He could hear happy barks and yips, soft nickering and contented purrs.

What was going on in there?

He followed closely to Hailey's side and what he saw made his tail wag in excitement-- A costume party! He wasn't sure who everyone was at first, but that's okay, he could make friends with them!

Upon closer inspection, though, he noticed it was just Sam, Henry, Hailey, Jack and Gabe with some silly type of get-up, which was okay with him! He knew these people well enough to trust them. They'd all been so nice to him lately, anyways.

He saw D'Mitri, a fellow collie who he'd been steadily befriending- he was wearing a silly sheet over his head with big eye holes and ear holes, and a bow tie.

"He's a spiffy ghost!" Hailey chuckled, taking a non-flash photo of the dog, so not to spook the horses.

Music played quietly in the background, something about spooky scary skeletons? Bronn didn't know what and all was going on here, but it sure seemed fun!

D'Mitri escaped his silly costume and bolted out of the barn to run circles outside, come back in, look at Henry and then do it all over again.

He's got the zoomies! What a silly guy! Bronn thought.

"Bronn! Come here, bub!" Henry called to him.

Hailey dropped his leash and let him jump up on his most favorite-est person at PN so far.

Henry scratched behind his ears, which always made his foot thump in a silly way, and he was wearing some silly looking pumpkin glasses and eating a spicy-smelling cake that looked really good, but Bronn knew it was people food and he wasn't supposed to have that.

"Hey, buddy," Henry chuckled, "Wanna take a picture with me? Huh?" he asked.

A Picture? Oh boy!

Bronn was more than happy to pose with a big doggy smile for the camera, snuggling right up to Henry to get in the frame and get his own good side.

"What a good boy!" Henry smooched his nose and held him close for a few more minutes before Bronn saw something he wanted to try.

There were plastic toys floating in a little tub of water- not very deep at all, and Bronn wanted to grab one and see if somebody would throw it for him to catch!

He ran over and immediately nosed around in the small bucket, chasing after a rubber ducky for a few seconds before finally catching it. It squeaked between his teeth and he looked around with pride that he caught it.

"Good boy! Look who's bobbing for squeaky toys! You've got the idea, Bronnie! Yeah! See? That's how you get them out, Willow, not by sitting in the tub, silly pup," Jack chuckled, patting the other dog on the head.

The night went on for a while, but Bronn was having a really great time, he got to eat some tasty dog treats, he got to play with toys and he even went on a scavenger hunt in a maze to find a big pumpkin full of fun stuff for the puppos like him.

He sure was tuckered out when he went home, but that was okay, he had a blast and his tummy was full of good tasting snacks.

He sure could get used to being here at this ranch, and he even made new friends that night! Let's see, there was Willow, Aisha, Clover, Sasha... Maya... Charlie... Pan-Pansy... Nov-ahh... Zzz... Zzz...

Name: Buffy
Name Meaning(s): Named after Buffy from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Gender: Female
Prompt: "Trick or Treat!" Tiny humans sang out as Buffy's owner opened the door.
"My, my, aren't you three adorable." Buffy rolled her eyes as she listened to her owner's cheesiness.
Buffy padded over to her friend, Gwyn, and sighed loudly. Gwyn glanced at her and chuckled, the older dog lapping at her ears gently. Buffy didn't understand what this "holiday" was, it was her first time, but she already could not stand it. She knew that Gwyn had participated in the "holiday" many times, so she thought that perhaps he could help her out with understanding it.
"Excuse me, Gwyn?" No answer. "Gwyn? Gwyn!"
Buffy looked up to see Gwyn standing next to there dog, along with all the other dogs in their home. "Guys?"
She padded over to Future and made a small clicking noise. "Future? What are you guys doing?"
"We're helping hand out candy!" Future mumbled through a mouthful of Tootsie-Pops and Icebreakers.
"Candy?" Buffy tilted her head.
Future placed the candy into a small human's bag and nodded. "Yeah, candy. Children lover having candy on Halloween."
"Wait, wait. Children? Hall-oh-ween?" Buffy said. "Is that where they serve hotdog weenies?"
Future cringed. "You're serious?"
"Of course she is, Future." Gwyn answered as their owner pushed him away from giving more candy to a smaller child than the ones previously.
"You've never been involved with a Halloween?" Future gasped.
"Buffy, you've never seen Halloween before?" T'Challa popped up from his spot on the couch.
Buffy shook as all the other dogs piled onto Future and Gwyn's pounding questions. She took a glance to her owner, who was holding out a big handful of candy to a tiny human who would not take any closer steps to her. Do it. No, no, do it in front of everyone. Buffy flinched as she raced to the back of the house, a toy "ghost" attaching itself to her body. She did a one-eighty, continuing her fast-paced trot towards the open frontdoor.
"Buffy, stop!" Gwyn ordered as her caught on to what was happening.
Buffy ignored her friends' pleas as she leapt, snatching the candy out of her owner's hand, knocking over a gather of small humans, and racing outside. Of course, she wouldn't leave the house. She loved her friends and owner. She just needed to find a place to eat the candy and try to scare some tiny humans in the process. Buffy noticed the shed door open, and ran. She managed to squeeze under the small opening that was left open for Prince the cat. As she plopped down her candy, she heard Future's small voice calling her name. I gotta spook her away. Buffy winced as something fell onto her head. Ouch, what was that? The beautiful dog squeezed out of the opening again and raced towards Future, making faces in the process.
"Oh thank goodness! Bu-" Future ended in a screech as Buffy pounded over.
"Haha! Best Hall-oh-ween ever!" Buffy grinned through Lemonhead stained teeth, a toy ghost attached to her waist, and a rope around her ears.

Name: GSK Kyoshi The Brave // Amishta
Name Meaning(s): She is named after Avatar Kyoshi from Avatar, The Last Airbender. Her call name means 'they are fearless and limitless' and comes from the Hindu religion, it is meant to be ironic as in reality she spooks at everything.
Gender: Female
Prompt: Amishta's first experience with halloween was only a couple months after she was born, the day had started out well enoguh. The people around her had excitedly rushed around putting up some very funky looking black and orange decorations and spraying fake cobwebs around the room. Candy was set aside to hand out to the neighbour kids who would come around later. Although she didn't understand what the occasion was she did love seeing the young humans be as excited as they were, they were dressed up in strange outfits today, with extra tails and ears. She chased after them and played with the ends of silly string and black tinsel that adorned almost every corner of the house but the one thing she didn't like was the automated witch that stood by the front door. The young dog pinned her ears and yipped loudly at it every time it turned on, its creaky old voice saying "Triccckk orrr Treaaat" every time someone went past it then cackling maniacally afterwards.

When evening came it looked even more horrifying with glowing eyes and teeth, a smoke machine behind it produced clouds of purple eerie fog that surrounded the figure and filled the little hallway of the home. Amishta ran and hid behind the sofa and had to be coaxed out using her favourite doggy treat. They put some sort of outfit on her, it had yellow and black stripes and wings on the back, she tried to shake it off but to no avail.

Each time the doorbell rang, the young humans tried to take her with them, she struggled in their arms as they got closer to the witch figurine. When the door opened, 3 young humans in scary halloween masks lifted their bags and shouted "Trick or Treat?!". Amishta panicked then jumped over the shoulder of the human, who was trying desperately to hold her whilst handing out candy to the children, and ran upstairs to hide in the wardrobe. "What a terrible day this had turned out to be!" she thought and curled herself tightly up into a ball for the night.

Username: Destiny
Name: Mink
Name Meaning(s): Just a soft name, for a soft spooky babe
Gender: Female
Prompt:
Mink hated the thought of Halloween. When she was newly born she remembered some of the older dogs at the kennel referring to it...She didnt want ghosts haunting her! And she certainly didnt need intruding zombies bursting from the ground coming after her or her people! She was still only 10 months old when Halloween ebbed its way closer and closer... The decorations that started to produce themselves on the lawns of homes in her small town, and in store fronts (tall ghouls & reapers) freaked her out... They looked like people! She often would bark at them in fear, just to make sure they would stay away. She especially hated the swinging ghosts and witches on broomsticks, hanging down from trees and archways...How intrusive...They better not come for her! Extra barks would be made towards those taunting figures. She also nearly jumped out of her own fur on a walk when the neighbours new "mailbox" ( which was set to motion sensor) sprung open producing what appeared to be a gnarly black cat that looked like it would rip her head off...The hisses and scary sounds (that her mom later reassured her were fake fake fake) sent her flying down the street. Her mom had to chase after her then! She started to get use to it all, but didnt like the dark already, and it was bringing her mood down. It had only been a week of all things Halloween, and Mink was already exhausted!Then...one day after a playdate with some other dogs, Mink was brought home to a grand surprise. The house was all things haunted! BUT...instead of instilling fear... Mink suddenly was filled with joy! The living room was head to toe decorated in halloween garb...but instead of scary black figures, and terrifying noises...It was all mainly glorious pink! Her favourite colour. The colour of her favourite bed, which was now adore with fluffy chew toys in all new shapes! Ghosts, pumpkins and more...They surely wouldnt get the best of her now! She flew to her pink bed, grabbing one of her new toys, flinging it around in fun. She smelt the fake pumpkins, which were pink, sitting on the floor by the family couch. It was adore with new pillows, and blankets all with spooky (but CUTE!) pictures of smiling bats, and her mom had put up soft twinkling lights! Nothing was dark here. Her mom even ushered her over to her food bowl where she found that they had been replaced with the same theme, pink and halloween! Inside her bowl was a delicious treat...that you guessed it...tastes like pumpkin! Her mom encouraged her back to the couch for a cuddle, the soft twinkle lights, the glow of a few candles placed around the room, her new ghost chew toy (he certainly was NOT a match and so frankly she thought she would not be so scared after all)...Maybe Halloween wasnt so bad....Especially if she got more of those pumpkin treats later.
