Welcome to the last weekend of Daylight Savings Time, which comes chock full of events so you can savor the extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning (at least, for those of you without kids….)

There are too many costume contests to count — although we’ve included quite a few — with Halloween and Dia de los Muertos events happening all weekend.

There’s also a relatively huge football game being played between Georgia and Florida, right here in Atlanta for the first time in history.

And hopefully the Atlanta Dream can stave off elimination today in Game 6 and win a huge Game 7 so this city can enjoy a victory parade.

Ok, here’s this week’s Anthem 👇

Neighborhood: East Lake

About: One day Goose emerged from the woods of Franklin, Tennessee, where he was rescued and subsequently adopted by us from a shelter. When people try to guess what breed he is, he says he is one of a kind. He is approximately 4 years old and loves living in Atlanta. He especially enjoys long walks to get coffee before the sun rises, socializing at the dog park, and snuggling on the couch.

Fun Fact: Goose has a lovely singing voice. He is a true alto, and is quick to join a howling session with another dog, human, or fire truck.

Thank you to Annie for sharing Goose with us.
