MaggieMoose's Turkey Sunshine: Gobble Gobble

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

Eat pork!

  Today is the Thanksgiving Day holiday in America. The turkey takes front and center in our lives at dinnertime. Yum; mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, turkey, and pumpkin pie. Maggie has a turkey she'd like to sink her teeth into. It's our plush Thanksgiving turkey that says "Eat pork!" or "Gooble Gooble" like a real turkey's sound. Maggie is grateful her orange ball was returned to her too. It's been lost under the couch since last Christmas. She gives thanks to Julie & Patrick for helping get it back to her. WOOF! WOOF! The second item Maggie is grateful for is the plush talking turkey. This turkey was never Maggie's, but when she saw it she immediately opened her mouth wide to take it from me. She thought it was hers. Sorry Maggie, it's not safe for you. I put our talking turkey up on the piano out of harms way. We'll get to the real turkey meat later. I am grateful for my daughter Julie's help going through holiday stuff and more. While we rummaged through our holiday things we also cleared out many things for "give away" to others. In our house we are so grateful for our family, our friends, good health, and me personally-lots of laughs with a MaggieMoose around. Grateful, grateful, grateful. Maggie is grateful too. She decided to park her cozy bed right in front of the Christmas tree. I bet she's planning to give thanks to the jolly man in the red suit come Christmas eve. I can see her saying in Woof-Woof-ese: What's in the big, black bag? Any balls? Meanwhile, I see Maggie's getting her football out. How did she know the Thanksgiving Day football games are on today? Oh Maggie (chuckle, chuckle), let's watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day floats first. WOOF! WOOF! Happy Thanksgiving Day to Christy & Ryan in  New York City!
Happy Thanksgiving friends!
MaggieMoose's kind of Thanksgiving (orange ball is where it belongs).

Bow Wow Friday

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice."

Maggie's choice

  It's almost turkey day. That's Thanksgiving day in America. It is this Thursday, November 22nd. Maggie and I have heard the term Black Friday on the internet, television and radio over and over again. As most know this day is the day after Thanksgiving. Retail shoppers rise early and get the best shopping deals for the Holiday season. Maggie decided to call this special shopping day Bow Wow Friday. Maggie and I are always get up early. We could shop. In fact, I found the perfect place for Maggie. It's called BowWowzer in Los Gatos, CA. Fresh water bowls are throughout the store. I'm not so sure this store will be up early the day after Thanksgiving, but if they were open there's plenty of goodies for Maggie. Dog clothes and other dry goods don't have much pull for her, but food goodies do. There's a whole biscuit & cookie section I think I heard call Maggie's name. If Maggie convinces me to go shopping at the crack of dawn on her Bow Wow Friday her list is written. I am to get bone shape biscuits, football shaped cookies (her Stanford college football game is this Saturday) and anything else I might think she'd like to munch on. Rawhide chews? 
Woof Woof
