Remains of the (Thanksgiving) Day

We’ve been so busy, that I forgot to tell you about Thanksgiving. The second turkey turned out as good as the first one!

My brother put it in a big brine bath on Wednesday. Then, early on Thanksgiving morning, just when I thought we were going on our walk, he put it in the smoker.

It smelled so good that I didn’t even mind missing our walk! I was happy to stand guard. Actually, I laid down, but I was still able to watch for hungry intruders.

I love this picture. It looks like turkey angels bringing the smoked turkey to the Promised Land.

You know how much I like to find chicken wings and ribs on our morning walks. Well, they have met their match!

I got one more picture before my brother headed over to Max’s house with Mark and Susie. But don’t worry; he brought me back a big bag of turkey and we’ve been eating some of it every day!

The rest of the weekend we spent putting up Christmas decorations. Did you know that if I really stretch, I can reach the stockings on the mantle? That is so fun!

Speaking of decorations, I have a big surprise for you. I’ll show you tomorrow!
