TBT – Behind the Scenes on Halloween

October 31, 2024

I often took multiple shots of my Min Pin crew before deciding I’d gotten it – the picture I deemed “The One.” In 2019, I had an idea for a Halloween photo, but I needed help capturing the image. For the first time, I wouldn’t be playing the role of photographer.

The lineup was good. I liked Aspen in the center, with Quest and Malibu on opposite sides. But I wanted them closer together.
They’re closer – like I wanted. But what happened to the order? And Aspen’s turned a bit too much to the right.
I guess the girls didn’t like their positions, so they moved – again! Whatever. Sometimes I had to go with the Min Pin flow. I held my hand up and told them, “Stay.”
Aspen, you little stinker! Malibu and Quest remained frozen in place because Mom told them to stay. Aspen was often the first to break a stay, so this didn’t surprise me.
The One – the shot I wanted! Later I would wish I’d pulled the pumpkin closer to Quest to close the gap. Also, Quest was a bit too far forward. I drove myself crazy in my pursuit of perfection. Sometimes, it wasn’t attainable – or not worth the price of achieving. It took me a long time to learn that lesson. This photo is good enough. I loved it then, and I love it now.

I’d give anything to reverse time. Life’s not the same without my girls.

Halloween is the spookiest time of year, and I’ve always loved walking around my neighborhood to check out the scary displays. My dogs usually paid no attention to the ghosts, monsters, and other creepy characters that temporarily took residence in front yards along our walking route. But a few years ago, Malibu encountered something that stopped her in her tracks.

All four of my beloved dogs now wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. For them, I hope our time apart is just the blink of any eye. For me, I wish the same thing.

August 1, 2018 – With the yard sectioned off due to an overgrowth of mushrooms, Aspen and Quest were forced to keep their distance from the resident squirrels. The squirrels loved the temporary arrangement, Aspen and Quest – not so much. As usual, Malibu stood and wondered what all the fuss was about.
I wasn’t a fan of the barking rants. But I’d listen to them all day long if I could have my girls back with me.

July 2016 – I laughed when I saw this scene in our kitchen. Malibu was waiting (behind Aspen) to take a drink and seemed to be telling Quest, “No cutting in line.”
