    Thanksgiving for your dogs?

    What are your dogs doing for Thanksgiving? Are they getting a feast of their own or nothing special? I'm getting the biggest turkey I can find and cutting it up into sections and letting the dogs have at it...Along with some veggies of course.
    Owned by two little pastries!


    REST IN PEACE GRACIE. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU.

    Hadn't really decided. Though we gave this a try a few months ago with success, so I think we'll pick up a couple cans this year.

    Every year my dogs (and cats!) get their own portion of turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls and some veggies. They can even get seconds if they like!

    We give our dogs and cats a bit of our feast on Thanksgiving.

    Ginger is also getting some Merrick Thanksgiving dinner, and will probably get some Nutro Pumpkin crumble for dessert later in the evening.

    Zoee gets to spend the day with her cousins, Boo and Lucy. And she gets to stay for 5 days while we are in Tahoe. No special meals though.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh! Nutro Pumpkin crumble? That sounds neat. I'll have to look into that.

    We're going to be sure to spoil the pups with a psuedo Thanksgiving dinner.

    Not a single table scrap will come near Chipper. Damn near killed him last year. Won't go through that again.

    They'll get some turkey and sweet potatoes with their dinner, too.
    That "pumpkin crumble" sounds pretty good!

    Meanie me will not be treating my girl to any hooman food. Cast iron stomach Cody only ever got ill on turkey, so I'll take no chances. I'll be cooking the birdie, stuffing, sweet potatoes and gravy and bringing it my neighbor's house since she just had knee replacement. Her hubby will attempt the rest of the meal, so there won't be any temptations for Mz Logan here anyway. Was this TMI???

    Safeway had a sale: 7$ for a turkey of any size. We bought two 21-pounders all for the pups

    They've already eaten one. They get the second one on Thanksgiving. Oh well, it's always Thanksgiving here!

    Hmmm... I'd like to believe King will be floating around the Astral Plain preparing for his next big journey.

    I have no idea on what Koli's current foster home plans on doing. I'm sure she'll get raw meat and veggies for breakfast and kibble for dinner like any other day. He's usually not one to bring scraps home to the doggies

    *sigh* Currently doggless.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    My pups get a few tasty treats mixed in with their food, not too much.
    No turkey for Sierra! Poultry upsets her tummy.
    (so I have to sneak Bud a few pieces of turkey when Sierra's not looking )
