This picture is from last year on Thanksgiving. 11 more dishes lined the opposite counter! We boil their turkey, remove the fat, cook a ton of rice in the broth and then they get to be little piggies! We just bought almost 50 pounds for this year (the price in the pic wasn't what we paid(!) Kroger had them on sale for .49 a pound. We'll cook both, separate the second and freeze it to use throughout the month. I SWEAR they know what's going on and the old timers somehow "tell" the newbies! They start swarming the kitchen as soon as the aroma starts to circulate. This is the 26th year we've had Thanksgiving like this.

Last week on the Today Show, Jenna Bush Hager was laughing at the idea that deaf dogs could know sign language. This is Ginger. We got Ginger from the Orange County Humane Society. She was deaf at birth. The only way we could communicate with her was by sign language. It wasn't ASL but our own improvised language. She knew countless cues from come, go, time to eat, up down, and on and on. She was also very intuitive and could sense what we were asking her to do. She also was smarter than Jenna Bush Hager 🤪

I haven't posted all week. Earlier we got the final diagnosis for Leo. His lungs were full of cancer. It was difficult to identify because of the type. Untreatable. I had hoped he would be able to be with us for his 11th Thanksgiving. He passed away with his head on my lap while I was softly stroking his head. Leo was the epitome of s "Good Boy." over ten years ago he came to us from an animal care and control in Ohio. He had been there for almost a year. He was scheduled to be put down the day we picked him up. At that time he was at least 1 1/2 years old, probably more. I think he was probably 13 or 14. Leo never, ever, ever caused any problems with us or any dogs. Anytime we both left he had his favorite spot he had dug beneath a huge hickory tree we have. He was obedient and lived to please. We will miss you Leo. 💔

I get a chuckle when people heap praise on us for being "selfless" when it comes to giving sanctuary to troubled dogs. Many people will get this, while many others will think "HUH!?" I've tried to explain, but unless one, at least, has a love of dogs in general most won't understand. This is not "selfless." It is "selfish." Felling the actual love and trust develop in a new sanctuary dog is unlike any other experience. We get to see, usually on a daily basis, that development. And in that there is an overcoming sense of love and contentment. On our part. I cannot express the utter joy that we get every single day. This is certainly true of the dog here, Addie. When we first got him he avoided us, wouldn't make eye contact, cowered if we held a broom, shovel or most any other object and the hardest thing to see is that he wouldn't eat unless we put his dish in the center of our 2 acre yard so he could see anything approaching. Then one day we woke up and he was in the bed, at the feet. Then he started coming to eat, then he started going berserk whenever we had been gone--even to the mailbox- excitedly wagging his tail and hopping around. But I think the most endearing thing to me is that no matter where I am, inside, outside, walking by or lying in bed, every time I am in close proximity, Addies takes the time to come to me and lick my hand. He rolls on his back for bell rubs and loves to rub noses. It is this kind of earned love that makes me wish for nothing else. We are the richest, luckiest guys in the world. And.....Addie, I ADOORE YOU!

We were able to get enough dry food for our 7 week allotment, but fell short on canned food. We use 16 cases a month. We are also in need of everyday supplies for GBARK. All of these products are available on our "Amazon Wish List" which can be found here: https://a.co/2gbztbx
