Here is Angela with her pups Thor (left) and Lily (right).
In looking for ways to share a memorable Thanksgiving dinner with our pups sans slipping table scraps, we’ve stumbled upon this genius treat recipe in which two cornerstone Turkey Day dishes join forces to become:
Yield: wiggly bodies and waggly tails (…and 45 treats)
Halloween is a pretty great holiday to share with your pet. Not only does every pup’s favorite word occur within its most popular exclamation, “trick or treat,” it is a day (…or week…or entire month) where a furry body running around in a little hot dog suit or carrying out an entire neighborhood watch shift, a.k.a. walk, wearing a skeleton outfit is not considered absurd.
Meet a few of our Downers Grove pet pals who are donning their best dog (and cat!) Halloween costumes in the spirit of the spooky!
Tucker James: Pet sitter Kendall’s pup was just begging to go out trick-or-treating in his dinosaur costume.

What are your four-legged kiddos dressing up as for Halloween?
Meagan and Lucy love to take daily dog walks together, covering about 3 miles a day! They also love going to the local dog parks near Downers Grove and surrounding area where Lucy can dunk her head in water bowls and romp and roll in the dirt with her BFF, Muffin.
After the walks and playtime, you will find both cuddled up together on the couch.

Halloween is the perfect excuse to let your furry buddy explore her spirit animal through costume. From experience, though, we warn you: some of our canine friends have connected too strongly with their spirit animals.
Last year, our buddy Vern sported a little piggy get-up. Using his disguise as an incognito sow, he ate his way through an entire box of human cookies!
Our friend Lily, on the other hand, stepped away from her normally sluggish demeanor to take on that of a bouncy bunny.
Have a spooky October, everybody!
Angela, an awesome Out-U-Go! Downers Grove pet sitter, takes great care of our Lombard pups & kitties!
When she is relaxing after a day of fun dog walks you can find her on the couch snuggling with her two cats, Missy and Heath (pictured).
She also has a turtle named Squirt and a frog named Sebastian!

Jessica’s furry family consists of her two dogs Jersey and Rocket as well as three cats, Cocoa, Garfield, and Hayzl.
Her home also welcomes other kitties as she is a foster parent for the West Suburban Humane Society.
She has also volunteered for WSHS every weekend for the past ten years.
Jessica says, “I can still remember the name of the first couple of cats at WSHS that I fell in love with. Spartacus was a DLH orange tabby that had a lot of spirit. Tallulah was a poor kitten that came to us from an abusive home, but still managed to be the sweetest girl on the planet. The reason that I keep going is because of the cats; it is definitely repetitive cleaning cages, but the cats are what makes it all worthwhile.”
