Ike knows. Ike our dog knows it is Halloween. That pumpkin head pull toy has been in his bucket of toys all year. It is only from the week before Halloween that he ever takes interest in it. No joke. He starts playing with his stuffed football as soon as preseason begins. He knows. Just ask him. Ask him anything.

The demon fleas have been bothering Ike and after a three week battle we had to revert to using Frontline, which had him flea free in under three days. My wife says the flea combs at the Bark and Scratch have been flying from the displays. I suspect the weather has had something to do with it.

It is like the movie Apocalypse Now” where the main character hunts down the crazy colonel, whom we shall not name. The colonel, his headquarters decorated with the heads of the enemy impaled upon pikes (much like the Tower of London must have looked days gone by) in reflection says those infamous words over his plight; “The humidity, …the humidity.” It has just been a plain wet year, even if Summer rainfalls were low. And now we all suffer from the demon fleas.

Just think of all the moisture in the ground now, as it just keeps raining week upon week, and then the big freeze. Worst Winter in a long time the Farmer’s Almanac claims.

Just think pot holes, and be afraid… very afraid. Then there will be the Santa Rampage.

Yes, we are still getting tomatoes and raspberries from our garden. Those tomatoes come up themselves every year all over our yard and garden. They are sweet and tasty, but this time of year the skin gets hard and splits.
