Tired and Thankful





It was a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m not sure who was happier to see Luke, Trekker or me. Trekker was five months when Luke went back to college and Luke hadn’t been home since. That's a lot of time to pass for puppy to remember. There was no doubt Trekker has long term memory. Every time Luke sat down Trekker was ready to accost and smother.

With strategic planning each dog takes their place for Thanksgiving food preparation. Shiloh moves into place in the middle of the floor but in the middle of the route I use to get to the refrigerator. If anything falls he’s ready, no need for a mop. Trekker on the other hand, huddles between the cupboard and me. He looks pleadingly upward for just a small little tidbit, but always ready for the big catch. It’s nice to have such trained kitchen help.

With Luke heading back to college, the food preparation and clean up over a nap or two will be required, except Trekker has beat me to it.

We call it the drop zone, the dogs always know where the food falls.
