Once at Thanksgiving someone brought a sack of clams and Bernie tried opening them with a screwdriver and then other items from the toolkit. The problem with clams that get bled on is that no one wants to eat them after that. With the exception of myself, and being at head level with the kitchen countertop or even somewhat higher, I was able to …

Greetings!
Oh, Chet, you are making me LOL!
Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🦃
We’re starting out on the east coast and are going to work our way west.
Let the feasts begin!
Thieves — Franklin here; looking forward to your stop here. WTAFM has made some great stuff. A big turkey too. And a special dessert — eggnog cheesecake. A new recipe but a real winner (with a bit of aged rum to gild the lily).
WTAFP: We love rum gilded lillies. Can Franklin continue with us? We promise to have him back by our Protege a d Accomplice’s curfew.
More to WTAFP: Luna here…please note that the Thieves have never set a curfew for Howie and Hazel, so think carefully before you answer.
Did Bernie not have a hammer in the tool kit? Don’t clams just open on their own when you boil them?
I’m going out to eat. My favorite restaurant, The Kaiserhof, for a full meal. And no leftovers. Not a problem. I have bully sticks and chicken jerky for the fuzzies. To them it’s just another day only no mail so they get to spend the entire day out front, one of their favorite things. I will join them when I get back as I have some recycling I need to finish, plus fill the green bin for pickup this Saturday. (A day late because of the holiday.)
The race is on for everything. I’ve submitted my preferences for the new garage door and am waiting to hear back, I ordered a new refrigerator and freezer for delivery the day after Christmas so I will need to remove a cupboard over my current refrigerator and relocate everything inside of it. Why do they have to keep making refrigerators taller and taller? Why can’t they make them wider? I have plenty of width but not enough height. After I prepare for all of that it’s up to the attic to clear space for installation of three mini-split combos. Want to have all of this done before Dec. 31 for tax rebates that are expiring. Everything else on my long list doesn’t really have a deadline but Jan 1 the garden will have a high priority. The beds are completed and just have to be filled. Irrigation will just be an hour or two so doesn’t really count.
But first, the island. It’s been over a decade since I started and I just want it done.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!!!
Burp!…we made it as far as Rio’s place and the tryptophan hit. Did we wake up snuggled on either side of Friend? Youse tell us.
Yes, yes I think you did.
It’s like you know us so well.
Friend naps…worth it!
Naps!….Yes! Yess!….snort!….My friend has been not feeling well at paw for over a week or more now and sends her apologies to one and all….snort!…Today she felt better and was able to cook all the food she foraged before getting sick…slurp! burp!….Lets just say we all had our fair share today and will have many more leftovers days from now….wheeze!..
SDD’s!…..To all I owe SDDs. Please know you all have been in my thoughts over this week plus. I truly hate not being able to respond to “things”…..wuffle!….So bear with me for a while. Things are looking up and will get better soon. (I am told) …grunt!….I have to believe as I did indeed get a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner today….slurp!
Happy!….Hope you all out there did have a great day and know we here are thinking of all of you in our Puzzled-Pug-Fashion….chorkel!snort!
No leftovers from my restaurant dinner so the dogs are getting a bully stick chaser after their regular meal.
Overs!….ML I did indeed see a full zippy bag full of lefties for me!Me!ME! go into the fridge this afternoon….snort!….I was lying flat out on my warm soft bed with one Pug-Eye open watching the kitchen and I could swear my bag of goodies is safe and sound in the fridge tonight…snort!snort!….Although, We had a visitor by the name of Sailor show up with my friends niece this evening and he Actually Got Some OF My FOOD!!!….I was so pissed off I left the room and grumped in my bed for over an Hour…..growl!
Sharing!….Is Caring, but Hoarding is Awarding!….aka…“A Pugs Perspective”…sniff!
We agree with youse: hoarding is rewarding.
Rhymes …. And it Rhymes. Always a plus!….chorkel!
You should have marked it. Hoomans have this thing about dog bodily excretions. Nothing like a lick of dog spit to deter consumption of designated leftover treats. If that didn’t deter the Sailor, a different bodily excretion marking a pant leg is a great way to register displeasure.
Sailor!…..Lets get back to this “Sailor Guy”…..grump!…..Suddenly he is part of the Nieces family and goes everywhere with them. Like He Belongs to this Family!!….wuffle!….What made him a Sailor and Family member I’d like to know…gurgle! …He is soooo FAT!….sniff!….So fat that seeing him eat in my house makes me really whirl….gaggle!….The worst thing is my friend seems to like him and that really curls my tail to no END!…..grump!gruffle!
Just a head’s up, WTAFP, we willingly checked ourselves into Mother Jail once we realized leftovers made by Friend are on the menu. We’ll use our one phone call to you once the leftovers have been depleted.
Wait!….Up above mention of “eggnog cheesecake” (with Rum) was mentioned and we here would really like to have that recipe if possible!….snort!
