[Dailydrool] Happy Thanksgiving!

[earthyoga at aol.com]

First the girls are slinging lots of drool for all those houndies and 
humans who are not feeling well...and for all those who have lost a 
precious one - you are in our thoughts and prayers....

Just an update on Trixie....my foster...quite the countersurfer that 
gal is and is so sneaky and smooth you don't even know something is 
amiss...I just came in with a few groceries and I really had to use the 
facilities and so I threw the bags up on the dining room table with all 
chairs pushed in and ran to my destination.  Wasn't in there but a 
minute and the girls were outside so I continued with unloading going 
back down to the car and what do you know...the Trixter was eating 
something...I yelled her name and she dropped it....an unopened bag of 
salami...1 lb worth....I thanked her for not devouring it for her dad 
would not have been happy and went into the house.....well as I walked 
in she was walking out with something else and Bailey had our steaks 
for tonight locked in her jaws!  I wrestled them back from Bailey and 
ran out the back door only to find that Trixie was able to get into 
that 1lb of ground sirloin...she didn't take the ground chuck....again 
when I approached and yelled her name she promptly stopped eating it 
and sheepishly walked away....I picked up the half eaten container of 
meat and discovered she had already consumed a 1/4 lb of dried beef 
(probably best I didn't eat that anyway!).  I am just glad we aren't 
doing Turkey day....I am quite sure that Trixe would have feast.  She 
already ate a corner of an uncooked apple pie my hubby was doing last 
night...Today I got a call from someone interested in Trixie....not 
sure what we will do....she has been here for 3 months and has gotten 
so comfy and I have the feeling that we will be true foster 
failures...know I can do do much more if I stayed a foster family, 
however hubby and I have grown a bit attached to her....she is so much 
like Sierra who passed away this past Feb...

And have to share...hubby has reached his two year remission 
status....his tests came back ok - he will continue to be tested every 
4 months instead of 3 so we are making progress....I am thankful this 
holiday for that - it's been a long two years....

And finally...we wish you all a very blessed and safe holdiay....enjoy 
your family, friends, food and houndies!

Peace, Light, Love & Faith
Emily, John and the Gareis girls, Maggie, Bailey, Princess and Trixie, 
our possible foster failure
