My Thanksgiving by Edwina

As with most holidays I spent it in my bedroom. It's not all bad as I get room service (water, kibbles, and turkey on a tray!)

The reason is my cousins -- all male, all four legged, all canine!

Usually the first to arrrive is Gavin (my campanion for the Olympics!) He's a pistol but at least he knows how to dress for the occasion....

Next is KC. Just because he has "KING" in his name he thinks he can do anything he wants...including sitting in momma's chair at the table!

It's not all naps and nibbles for me though. I have to keep a close eye on these guys. They eat my food, drink my water, get my attention.

Odin came for dessert. I guess he was excited to see his two buddies because he went into the living room and took the biggest whiz EVER on the cloth covering the end table. I was amazed how calm momma was about it. She said that's what a good Chianti does for you (whatever that means.) She even played on the floor with Odin.

By Saturday they were all gone and...after a careful check the house was mine...all mine again!

This is a funny picture!!!

Oh Edwina, it is wonderful to have company but sometimes the best part about it is when THEY GO HOME!!

It sounds as though you were the perfect hostess as always.
However, sometimes, these holidays just must be spent in seclusion!

I hope that you can rest today after your long and stressful weekend!

Oh darling Edwina,
it is the same in our household. When mom's parents have a nawtidawg -is it my aunt then?
When SHE comes, she's a dachshund and is called Amber, Filou says hello to her. Not me!
I retire. But when Amber comes to look for me I have to show her my nice long and sharp claws!
I am feeling for you and I can see it in your face: How can your mom allow this crowd in :confused: And give them your turkey?:confused:
Love
Tigris

Sara, that picture of the dog - Gavin? is hilarious! A real gentleman! :eek:

Dearest Edwina, you certainly look suspicious there on the landing, but I can see the doors are open for a quick escape. You seem to be thinking "Oh no, not again!" Are they coming :( or going? :) I bet they'll be noisy too! :rolleyes:

And on the last one, "Are we alone now mom? Come and give me a hug, I really need it! - and Edwina, you must remember, a good Chianti works wonders for your mom! ;)

ROTFLMAO !!!
OH OH , my belly hurts from laughing ....
Thanks miss Edwina , you are a wonderful host !!

What a scream :D That picture of Gavin was hilarious, I'm glad Edwina has the house to herself again!

Dear Miss Edwina,

You ARE the hostess with the mostess!! At least you got room service. You RULE!!! BTW, who's the furbag in the monkey suit???

Oh miss Edwina! What a nice party you hosted. :)

Next time, tell your momma to invite guests of the feline kind! :D

Oh Edwina Sweetheart - all those dawgies invading your home - at least it's all over and done with now and your secretary owes you treats - BIG TIME!!!!!

Gosh, Miss Edwina, what a time you had. Somehow, when I saw the first picture, I thought you dawned something black and slinky and wore pearls around your neck and a matching hat with a feather, and was his escort for the festivities. Instead of a fancy dress dinner you were treated to an INVASION!!! Better luck at Christmas time!!!:D

Edwina did come to the table for a while. She sat on her momma's lap (once KC got off the chair :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ) but she seemed to have something caught in her throat -- causing her to hiss and growl! This made some of the guests nervous.

Turnip (the guinea pig) also visited. However, she was soooo excited to be at the "grown up" table that she wheeked alot and also made some guests nervous!

Edwina, you are truly the Hostess with the Mostest! You are my inspiration. How do you keep your poise with such demanding guests? Your fans would appreciate your guidance here.

Admiringly,
Lady Olivia d'Flufferuni "Livvy"

That's why holidays are so sad, too many guests and not enough attention :(

I think that I look quite handsome.....

Gavin you charmer!!! Yes you look quite handsome. And your typewriting is much better than that of Cinder & Smoke:rolleyes: :) :rolleyes: :) :p

Did you see your other picture in General?

(and it is about time you got on here!)

Well, hello to Gavin! How are you related to Edwina's Secretary?

Poor Edwina. I think you must be such a sweetie to let nawteedogs in your house at the holiday. They don't seem to be too well mannered, whizzing on the carpet!!!! Ha ha ha..

Gavin, of course you look very very handsome. After all of the guests had gone did you retire to your dressing room and put on your red velvet (quilted) smoking jacket? Was it time to lounge around by the fire with a little brandy to settle down the day?

Gavin would be Edwinas cousin -- he is my sister's dog. In his defense...HE no longer whizzes in the house! (Unlike some others I could mention!)

Edwina,
You have such an eventful life! I love all of your want to be dining companions. :)

Glad you had your share of turkey....dealing with nawteedawgs, you sure deserve it! :)

Welcome to Pet Talk, Gavin.

You are not only handsome, but suave and debonaire, too! What a charmer!

holiday company is fun.......but isnt it nice when it all returns to normal and "it" all belongs to you again?;)

Aw, what a cute story, by the ever-so-great Edwina! :D

Cute doggies too ;)
