Happy Howl-o-ween!!🎃

It’s a brew-tiful night for some mischief, and our furry friends are getting in on the action! 👻

To help you and your furry companion have a fun and safe Howl-o-ween, we’re giving you some tips and tricks! 😉

🐈‍⬛ Ensure your fluffy friend’s costume doesn’t have choking hazards!

🐈‍⬛ No candy for pets (especially chocolate)!

🐈‍⬛ Make sure your pets are wearing their tags and are microchipped (in case they run away).

🐈‍⬛ Keep your furry friends away from fire (Jack-O-Lanterns)!

🐈‍⬛ Dogs can be scared or stressed by costumes. Better to not approach a dog while dressed up in costume!

Please leave a photo of your furry friend in costume in the comments so we can all enjoy the cuteness. Or leave some other safety tips we haven’t included here in the comments! 🐾

We witch you a fang-tastic night! 🦇

October is Mi’kmaw History Month, and this year’s theme was A’tukwemk aq A’tukowinu’k - Storytelling and Storytellers. As the month draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to recognize that reconciliation cannot be limited to only one month a year. Instead, it is an ongoing process that we need to embrace all year long.

Education is a key principle of reconciliation. We wanted to share some resources about where you can learn more about Mi’kmaw History Month and Reconciliation.

Visit https://mikmaqhistorymonth.ca/. This website is full of resources about Mi’kmaw history.

We have a claws-itively spooky PAW’dcast episode for you! 👻

In honour of Halloween, our hosts sat down to discuss their favourite myths and legends about our furr-bulous felines! 🐈‍⬛

Superstitions have followed cats all throughout human history, some good, some bad. We chatted about a few famous myths and legends about cats, and don’t worry, there’s something for dog lovers too! 🐶

We touched on topics like:

🎃 What a Familiar is.

🎃 Were cats seen as gods?

🎃 Can cats save Halloween?

🎃 And more!
