Hi, Mal here from the Candy-coated Mystery series. Nothing better than October on Mackinac Island. I like rolling in the leaves, running down the trails and sneaking licks off of candy apples. Of course the apples need to be caramel or that hard red stuff, I like that. Allie makes sure I don't get any chocolate.
Then there's butterflies to chase. Love those. Plus digging in the dirt and the smell of Fall flowers and pumpkins! I love pumpkin. Allie says pumpkin is actually good for doggies so I get a taste of pumpkin every night.

Yes, I love Fall. I love the smells of Fall - all that mulch and sometimes even dead bodies. Okay, I'm a dog and the smell of dead things is irresistible. Now, I only point out the smells. It's not like I actually roll in them. I want to roll, but I have great self restraint. So dead bodies and fudge and Fall are all things I love. Well, not chocolate fudge, but the other kinds are a great treat. Allie is a great pet as well. She's super smart and figures out who is making the dead bodies and then tells Officer Manning.
Officer Manning is one of my favorites. Same for Trent Jessop, Allie's boyfriend. Things get a little mixed up with those two in Oh, Fudge. Then there's the new friend Carmella. She's a cat. I like cats, but she doesn't like dogs too much. It's okay because I play with her any way.
Then there's that day when everyone dresses up in costumes. I like that day. I like dressing up as the mail man. I have a lot of fun around mail boxes.
What is your favorite part of October?

I like the lessening of the heat, the change in colors. The cooler evenings which allow for a fire out in the pit and roasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate. Della at deepotter (at) peoplepc (dot) com

I enjoy Fall because of the change in temperature, the change in the color of the leafs, and Halloween. My daughter and I love to decorate our yard in time for our Trick or Treaters to visit.
