The week after we went trick or treating, I noticed Rex was a bit off. He was more fragile, whinier, touchier, and hadn't eaten more than two bites of any meal. Yes, he went trick or treating. Yes, we allow the kids to take one or two candies from the bag during the day. No, we don't lock the bags up or store them in high places where they can't be reached. The cute felt bags which their grandmother had given them this year were in full view and very accessible in our kitchen.
I felt the honor code was working well. They asked me if they could have a treat, and I would either say yes or no. Accordingly, they would eat or not eat. At least, that is what I thought...
