Thanksgiving with the Dogs

I am thankful for my improving health and grateful for all the prayers thankful for all the health care professionals who look after me thankful for my family and friends and peace within my life and I am grateful for my three dogs who shed any loneliness away. It will only be three dogs and me for this Thanksgiving holiday but looking at my Sassy's face I got a whole turkey anyway We will have a feast and watch some football after we pray and take a nap or two being too full to play. The smell of roasting turkey makes the house feel like home can't let the dogs have em but make soup with the bones No giblet gravy cook em with butter for the dogs while on the roasted turkey neck I get to gnaw Leftovers are a treat makes cooking a ease just warm in the microwave and enjoy as you please Turkey soup turkey sandwiches and turkey fried rice all recipes for cooking with leftover turkey will suffice My dogs like the turkey skin and they know they will get meat a whole turkey is way too much for me alone to eat Sometimes it is okay to be alone on a holiday you relax and enjoy doing everything your way Thanksgiving with the dogs, my two boys and new girl never lonely with happy barking and three tails a wagging in a whirl.
