As we all know, fall is officially here because Starbucks has said so with the annual return of the pumpkin spice latte. Along with the first novelty fall item hitting the drink bar, some of our other favorite things are just around the corner. Some being the crunching sound those crispy fallen leaves make under our boots, the golden-bronze sunsets, sweater weather, and of course, Halloween. Here are some of our fall favorites as told by dogs:
1. Sweater Weather
As the temperature starts to drop (but maybe not in Charleston quite yet), it is time to pull out our favorite comfy sweaters. Nothing says fall and the promise of cool, crisp, fresh air than our favorite fleece-lined sweaters.
2. Flannel Weather
If it's not quite cold enough yet to break out the sweater, then fear not, a well-loved flannel is guaranteed to be waiting for you to break it out for another season of jeans and leggings.
3. The Pumpkin Spice Latte
It's not fall until Starbucks says so with the return of the pumpkin spice latte, and various pumpkin-flavored pastries waiting to be consumed from the glass cabinet. Be sure not to discriminate though, your favorite furry friend would love a sip!
4. Jumping In Piles Of Leaves
Nothing brings out the inner child in all of us more than jumping into a big pile of leaves! The satisfying crunching sound of our bodies falling on top of all those crisp autumn leaves is a heavenly sound for the soul.
5. Carving Pumpkins
Whether you're young, old or a stressed-out college student, carving pumpkins never gets old. While I settled for a very simple happy pumpkin face last year, I was quickly outshone by my Little, whose family makes pumpkin carving a family event every year.
6. Bobbing For Apples
A classic fall party or event game of bobbing for apples never fails to bring laughter and smiles to all of our faces. It always warms the heart, especially when one of our furry friends takes part.
7. Dressing Up For Halloween
And finally, the event we all await at the end of October: Halloween! Break out the the creativity and costumes and bring out the inner sweet tooth that is inside all of us!
