First? Yay!
8:39 am on November 27th, 2014
Good morning, Wolfie and everyone! Wolfie, hope your early morning was productive. We slept in a bit but have now had our breakfast. Maybe if we act hungry, we’ll get a second one. Good smells in the kitchen today.
Happy turkey. We are thankfuil for our blog family š
Have a stuffed Thursday.
9:18 am on November 27th, 2014
Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Thank you Spence for keeping the blog going for our Chet and Bernie family.
Have the Brussels sprout dish ready. Doing roasted sprouts with bacon, shallots and garlic. Also taking a salad and a cream cheese appy. That is all I have to do, so getting off pretty easy. Josh and Jess will be picking me up at noon.
Staff, I was impressed with your mom’s spice cabinets. She had some things in there that I have never tried, like arrowroot and something that started with an F and ended with greek. She also had them in alphabetical order, which was a pleasant sight for my Virgo sense of order.
So, who is cooking dinner and who is not?
9:20 am on November 27th, 2014
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone, from the frozen Wisconsin tundra. Two degrees above zilch.
Staff: Loved the spice cabinets.
9:23 am on November 27th, 2014
B&M&L, good morning. Fenugreek. Kind of an anisey/licoricey taste. Mom only knows because a friend once managed a Swiss Colony shop and when spices would go out of date, she’d bring them home and we’d experiment.
We have dinner at the adopted son’s today. They have the turkey and sweet potatoes and everyone has been assigned things. Mom’s stuffung got assembled last night, she’ll put the relish tray later on.
9:24 am on November 27th, 2014
BB, can it really be that cold? Brrrr! Turn on the oven and solve 2 things. Good smells and get the kitchen warm š
9:34 am on November 27th, 2014
Happy Thanksgiving,Spence, Admin, Chet, and Plunderers. We will be home all alone, while the ‘rents go to a niece’s home. They are only taking a birthday present, and perhaps a bottle of wine. Of course, they are likely going to miss it altogether, because Pop is on call, and working as we type.
We here are thankful for the measly snow that fell yesterday, and we are looking forward to real winter, when we hope to see more. BB, we think your early winter temps are a bit extreme though.
9:42 am on November 27th, 2014
I’m somewhat back to eating regular food. Thanks to all of you who sent me kibble, it was greatly appreciated. Now I’m going to Sam’s house for a gluten free big Thanksgiving dinner.
9:46 am on November 27th, 2014
Happy Thanksgiving to all youse! I am thankful for this blog and for my chosen family, my given family, Snowhook Kennels, various spices and diversity in all things. Let the cooking, eating and companionship begin!
9:56 am on November 27th, 2014
OH: We are having January in November. Cold temps and then blizzard like snow. Many car accidents, some fatalities. More snow tonight. Sigh. Two years ago on Thanksgiving the temperature was 62 degrees! Huh???
We are going to younger son’s home for our turkey and trimmings today. Older son and his family will bring desserts, and we two buddies will bring other side dishes.
For all that is ours, let us give thanks. (My mantra.)
9:57 am on November 27th, 2014

We are listening to the Piano Guys and remembering our Friend.
12:34 pm on November 27th, 2014
Here’s what we are thankful for:
We are thankful that the AUCTION STARTS TOMORROW!
We heard rumors of catnip mousies being up for grabs. Ours are all in use by a stupid, snuggly little kitten that everyone ooo’s and ahhhh’s over.
Sheesh – you would think there had never been a freakin’ kitten in the world before……
12:38 pm on November 27th, 2014
National Dog Show is on – Toy group has been fun. The MinPin escaped and ran havoc in the ring. The Pug came in 3rd. According to the announcers, Pugs can run 3 miles an hour.
Sure.
Down hill, and with a good tail wind maybe.
giggle
12:38 pm on November 27th, 2014
I’m thankful that Professor B never complains about me and my ears hogging our easy chair. She just rubs my ears and squirms to make more room. She’s a class act, that one.
12:41 pm on November 27th, 2014
You poor Herb Kats. We are thankful that you haven’t met Pookey who is of the opinion that kats are squeaky toys with thorns. We are also thankful that you haven’t met the POP. They bite toes and tails š We are thankful that you haven’t met our sushi, or they would be an endangered fish pond š
12:45 pm on November 27th, 2014
Charlie – is true Supreme Commander Bee is very class act. Is fun vhen she comes vith Natasha in Porsche, cruising down highvay vith top down.

Amen, T&G

Chet’s most recent facebookie post says it best for us dogs on this Thanksgiving Day.
1:16 pm on November 27th, 2014
HOH: I was shocked also when I saw the article in the NYTimes. I think I’ve read all of P.D. James.
Hi Charlie!
Natasha is making me laugh. Nefarious indeed!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in my blog family. We have some very good friends up from Florida (Carol and Alex) who, in addition to Carol being my mom’s bestest friend, both happen to be terrific tummiers too. Our turkeyfest is still a few hours off (others are arriving at 6:00 pm) and I am guarding the turkey to make sure no marauding goats put in an appearance.
We are also mourning the passing of P.D. James. Her departure will leave a big void in the world of mystery writers. Definitely one of my mom’s and dad’s all time favorites. She is up there with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers as on of the true royalty of the profession.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of youse!
Anyone else set off the smoke alarm while cooking today? It has been 15 minutes and the doors and windows are open and the fan going. Stove is off. A neighbor even came and checked on me. Carpola. I know I am not that bad of cook. This is why people disable their smoke alarms. Some of the system is wired and some not. Flipping circuit breakers don’t help.
3:53 pm on November 27th, 2014
Smoke alarm still going. House is getting cold.
5:22 pm on November 27th, 2014
The ‘rents are home. They met the newest Member of the Family Within the Family. Mom says he is an adorable 3-year old French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. Mom fell in love. What a good boy.
Hobbit! You are an excellent cook. Mom still talks about all of the great meals you made for her and Pop when they were Way Up North. It is thosestupid hard-wired smoke detectors that are the problem.
5:37 pm on November 27th, 2014
CHobbit, since the smoke alarm has been going on awhile and the firemen haven’t come, do you wonder what would happen if this were a real fire?
8:00 pm on November 27th, 2014
The peepps are thanfully home and brought us the really good bits of turkey (neck, heart, gizzard, liver). Yummers! We are glad they came home, it seemed like they were gone forever. Thank dog Blondie didn’t destroy anything. We tried to keep her calm and patient.
Safe night and nighty night to all.
8:18 pm on November 27th, 2014
All Star Dog Spectacular is on Fox right now. Hillary Swank and Jane Lynch are featuring 70 dogs for adoption.
8:27 pm on November 27th, 2014
Loulou is watching the show and loving it.
8:45 pm on November 27th, 2014
We are watching it, Aunt MPM. I am worrit that Momma will find another lovey dovey on this show.
8:45 pm on November 27th, 2014
Just got back and turned on the Dog Spectacular show.
Tired, and full and experiencing a terrible sore throat. May call it an early night.
Hope all had a great day.
8:50 pm on November 27th, 2014
Happy Thanksgiving, all. Dinner is done. It turned out pretty good. Mom (who doesn’t cook very well) ordered turkey breast and ham from a local cafeteria and then cooked a couple of sides. Other family members brought other stuff and everything turned out very good. Whew! Mom has to work tomorrow then hopes to get some decorating done over the weekend.
Thank you all for being here during this very tough year. You are family. Thank you, Spence, for the blog.
8:51 pm on November 27th, 2014

OK, we watched the parade, we lived through football, we cooked the turkey, ate it, and cleaned up. We watched a movie.

9:12 pm on November 27th, 2014
Rio, Loulou and Sammie are as unhappy as you are. I had to leave Loulou at home while I went to Sam’s house for dinner. Poor little Sammie had to get closed in the bedroom while everyone was feasting. Of course they both got their turkey dinners afterwards.
9:56 pm on November 27th, 2014
Sammie!…I feel your pain…grunt!…Although it sounds like you at least got some turkey dinner today…grumble!
10:39 pm on November 27th, 2014

The Giant and my mama are home for Thanksgiving dinner at Mick and Jodi’s, the people not the puppies. They laughed a lot and ate way too much. While Rio and I double checked the inventory and lot numbers, Belle Starr got her paws on the sound block. It now matches the gavel.
We here echo Rio’s message of gratitude for all you do to make the auction and boutiques possible. Youse all are amazing. Sniff, snort, slurp, burp.
