Fall Activities
Dear Frankie,
My birthday is in October. I’m going to be five and want to do something special to celebrate the big day.
My parents said I could invite ten friends and suggested I write to you for ideas for a special canine celebration.

Dear Cody,
If you invite a mixed crowd, how about going to a haunted house and then to a place like Chucky Cheese for lunch? You could also go to a corn field maze and later have a picnic. Then, there is always the trip to a pumpkin patch, followed by pumpkin carving, cake, and ice cream.
If it’s an all-male affair, you could go to one of those paintball places where you could divide your guests into two teams and then shoot at one another. A friend of mine went to a boys only birthday party in a field by a river.
He said, “When the dogs arrived, they were told they could dig as many holes as they wanted. When their holes filled up with water they could also roll in the mud and splash one another. Another party activity was they could roll on dead fish that had been scattered around the field. The party ended with a bath in the river, followed by dried chicken strips and ice water.”
He said he couldn’t remember going to a better party.
Best, Frankie
