Dog years and years ago. They are gorgeous and smiley and floppy. Did you know they have a very short life span? Jared also loves the greyhounds.<br /><br />I'm glad you still had a family meal on Tgiving since your husband had to work. Such a nice gesture even if it didn't meet expectations.<br /><br />We did miss Sam, but surprised ourselves by behaving and not talking a bunch of smack about him when he couldn't be there to defend himself. ;-) I will thaw out some Good Rolls for homemade turkey soup next week.<br /><br />(Didn't I luck out finding that header image?

Second favorite are greyhounds, which I would love to rescue one but we can't have a dog here as we have no grass in the backyard. <br /><br />The expressions on the faces of the dogs in the header photo are KILLING me.<br /><br />My husband had to patrol on Thanksgiving, so we had a Thanksgiving breakfast out, which was highly disappointing. Never again! Then, the three of us brought dessert to him later on in the afternoon and shared it with him on his dinner hour. It was nice! The rest of my family was in Arizona, and who knows where my husband's family was. <br /><br />I am glad your Thanksgiving was lovely, although I am sure you missed your son. Your family is also much different than mine because we love our bread, and it is often the first thing to go. I would have totally eaten your good rolls!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604097511444010759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-32865799678433024222017-11-25T08:34:59.737-05:002017-11-25T08:34:59.737-05:00Jean!

I get annoyed when they don't show the entire dog show, just a few select breeds that end up in the top of the group. The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever didn't place in the top four for the Sporting Group, so they didn't even show its judging. But there were some lovely dogs; the American Staffordshire Terrier was a particularly good-looking one for its breed. We all thought it would win.<br /><br />Jared went home with leftovers also. I tried to send home more with him, but he is very careful with his diet.
