Monday Musings ~ November 25, 2019

~ Tails Around the Ranch

It’s almost here, the eat-yourself-stupid ‘howliday’ that dogs all over America howling their approval. Sam gave his sister the “talk” about how it goes down.

Thanksgiving

But before Thanksgiving arrives, Sam and I will be working at the hospital the next couple of days bringing cheer to patients and staff at the hospital. We will also be training a new therapy team who is joining our ranks. Woof woof! Let’s just hope Sam doesn’t give the new guy a similar Thanksgiving “talk.” Our hospital visits may limit our ability to post or comment much this week but we will do our level best.

Mother Nature plans to factor into the holiday with a winter storm watch being issued with up to 10″ of snow expected to start arriving later today. We’re keeping our fingers crossed it doesn’t impact travel plans.

We hope you have a safe and happy ‘howliday’ and Elsa in particular, is wishing you drop a few peas or gravy drippings for the 4-legged visitors. Remember though, turkey skin is bad for dogs but sweet potatoes/yams are good if you’re sharing any bounty.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

  2. I heard all abouts the huge snow amounts that will fall over your abode! The storm that is coming your way is here right now, and it is massive! Okays, maybe not, cause it moved fast, butts it dropped tons of rain, and it is cold! (which is okay with us, cause it’s ‘California cold’ which is different than your kind of cold! BOL!!!
    I hopes the Hospital visits go well, and you are able to make lots of patients smile. And that when you gets to the Thanksgiving table, lots of foodables fall from the heavens…..
    Kisses,
    Ruby ♥

      Sadly no hospital visits. I’m buried and can’t get out of the alley-my little car will get high centered. There’s a foot of snow on the ground and the temps are in the single digits. Can’t wait for Round 2 on Friday. Hope the rain helps with the fires. Stay warm, dry with plenty of foodables tomorrow.

      Sam likes your team. Sadly we were snowed in with a foot of the white stuff and aren’t able to bring smiles to peeps. 😕 My car would have gotten high-centered if I’d even have tried.

I assume you will have a traditional Tofu Roast with all the trimmings but maybe you could sneak a little roast bird for Knucks. And since you’ll be focusing on therapy matters, could you do me a solid and have Sam and Elsa provide some bite therapy to the Broncos? TIA. 🙂

  22. John W. Howell – South Texas Gulf Coast – I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

      It was exciting to learn someone new is joining. I interviewed him on the phone last night and think he’ll make a great addition to the program.

      Yeah, I’m not looking forward to 10″ either. Especially if I have to drive in it. Fingers crossed.

      Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. We’re especially grateful for blog friends like you. 🦃

    I didn’t know about turkey skin but my cats don’t eat people food. If it doesn’t say Fancy Feast they are not interested. Have a great week bringing joy to those who can’t travel.

      Most people aren’t aware of turkey skin, the white meat (unsalted, seasoned) is fine and a great source of protein. Fancy Feast works well for cats (and for probably more than a few dogs)

  31. that’s so funny, great shot of them. I didn’t know about turkey skin, thanks for telling us. I don’t like it but then Milo eats paper so…. I hope the storm doesn’t get in the way too… it’s apparently going to be dangerous. Poor Milo got a bath and shaved yesterday but we have jackets and boots and I left his leg hair longer. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Monika, we’re all grateful for you.

      Sam gets his bath & clean up later this morning but thankfully his winter coat and boots should keep him warm and safe as we travel to the hospital. They always over-salt the walks so he needs the extra protection. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Drew and sweet Milo. We are blessed to have friends like you. 🥰
