A Pumpkin for Ringo

I love Halloween almost as much as Ringo does. Ringo is my ferocious, not intimidated-by-anything, 4 and a half pound Yorkshire terrier. For whatever reason, Ringo LOVES pumpkins. Whenever I bring one home, he immediately starts prancing on his back feet and twirling in circles. He gets so excited that if I don't put it on the floor for him as soon as I get in, he starts crying. As soon as the pumpkin's on the floor, he attacks! He covers it in kisses and smells it all around. Every time he walks by it, he has to stop to lick it. If I try to touch it he barks at me. For whatever reason, he thinks that all pumpkins belong to him. So now, every year, I have to buy him a pumpkin. You can see the joy all over his little face as soon as he sees it. He's just like a little kid. I took some photos of Ringo next to his "prize". Forgive his appearance... he needs a bath. :)
