Just for today..............

qualitygal — Sat, 05 Dec 2015 12:07:58 GMT

WEll, I'm doing a turkey in the oven today, no big deal, but I mentioned to my DH that today, we had planned to decorate. I'm guessing we might............I'll need to get in the mood. I'll see how he feels. Uggggggghhh.

Maybe next week...LOL.

If you're roasting a turkey today, your dog will think you're mistress of the universe. We had to skip a traditional Thanksgiving this year and my biggest regret was missing that dreamy look on my dog's face. He was robbed!

I once had a dog who would spend the entire time the turkey was in the oven keeping guard right in front of the oven. It would take a crane to move her when I needed to open the door. It must have smelled so good!

@just bee Ms Bee, I'm thinking your dog was robbed as were you not seeing that great face on your dog smelling and guarding that turkey!

Sounds like you may not have roasted a turkey at your house for turkeyday. Perhaps you need to do one too. Now is not to late!

He really doesn't guard the oven the way 151949 described, but he definitely stays close to the kitchen. People often say they only do holidays for the children; I like to do them for the dog. We like to have a Southern Christmas and a ham to make split pea soup, so maybe a New Year's turkey would work. I need to see that face!

We had a cat named Striper that used to keep vigil over the oven when there was a ham being baked. I'd ask her, what does my favorite little girl want? And she would sort of meow out the word Hahm.

I had a cat that would pace the entire time if I were making chicken livers.

I couldn't cool them fast enough so he could have a taste.

we cooked a turkety ourselves yesterday and our little 13 year old pup who is now deaf made her wishes kinown after she had her turkey dog food din-din.

she was on attention for hours until she felt she had her fill. i don't think she's aware of leftovers yet, though.

After bringing home the turkey & placing it on the counter top, I turned my head briefly and my dog jumped up and grabbed hold of the turkey. He started running with it. He was dragging this l3 lb'er upstairs and downstairs with me chasing him.

And that was before it was even in the oven! He lived to be l8 years old and a wonderful pet.

@MacDUFF

In case you think I was pulling your leg, I found a picture of Striper with a ham bone. I had to take a digital picture of a kodak paper picture. That year, so said Hahm so much, we put a clean rag rug on the window sill where she liked to sit and gave her the bone.

@Bird mama

Awwwww, what a cutie! She has a bit of a "look" in her eye...like she might be saying "Yes, I'm a cutie and I want to keep it that way, so don't even think of getting near my hahm bone!"

P.S. You're so high tech...I wouldn't have even thought of doing that! Thanks for sharing.

@MacDUFF

She was already old and getting 'philosophical' by then. I can tell you that she snarled and acted insane if you got near her ham bone. Ham did for her that day more than catnip ever could - she was nearly in a coma.

I thought cats were born philosophical!!?

I had a cat named Muffin who would sit in front of the fridge and clearly say milk, over and over again until you gave her some.
