Hello all! It’s evidently “eat everything in sight” day. YAY! I’m into it. The house smells MARVELOUS!!! I can barely stand it. So far, I’ve watched the humans eat ham biscuits, cheese and crackers, salmon spread and God knows what else. The tall guy is putting dinner on the table right now and I can just hear it groaning from the effort of holding all of it. I will be sure to go lay under the table in case it needs my help with the heavy turkey.
So, what’s with all this eating anyway? I mean, I’m ALL for a freaking food fest, but REALLY? A whole day dedicated to it? I decided to quench my curiosity about this eating frenzy and Google “Thanksgiving”. Evidently, American humans commonly believe that the first Thanksgiving happened in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. But there is some evidence for an earlier harvest celebration by Spanish explorers in Florida during 1565. There was also a celebration two years before Plymouth (in 1619) in Virginia. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. I guess I have lots to be thankful for. I have good humans, a nice yard and woods to poop in, plenty of food and green beans, comfy beds downstairs and up, babies to play with and treats to eat if I’m good. Thank you God for my family and my life.
Now pass me that turkey leg, cause I’m all thanked-out! E-dog
