A Spooky Story from Olive and Mabel

With Halloween falling on a Sunday this year, we didn’t get a chance for a spooky post to commemorate it. But I couldn’t resist sharing this tale of terror from Andrew Cotter and his faithful companions, Olive and Mabel. For those who missed it, we last checked in with them as they were getting a performance review via Zoom. Here, the dogs listen to a scary bedtime story, “The Tale of the White Wolf”.
