As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and our minds are running a million miles per hour with the thoughts of how many guests will be over, how much food will I need need, and how are we going to avoid conversations in controversial topics, our pets--specifically our dogs-- have their own thoughts running through their minds. Here are 11 thoughts your dog is thinking on Thanksgiving day.
1. Why is mom vacuuming up all my hair?
Doesn't she know I'm not a fan of that screaming machine? I don't even shed that much.
2. I can't stop sneezing
The air smells like the lotion bottle I go into a week ago and the scent is coming from fire bowls around the house. What does apple cinnamon mean?
3. The fancy room lights are on
But that's my secret hiding spot.
4. Hello people!
Don't worry, mom, I will greet all the people by jumping on them. And I will continue to jump even when you tell me to "stay down". Wow there are so many people to welcome!
5. What is Dad cooking?
That smells like a Turkey! I will sit right next to him in case he needs an assistant chef or a taste-tester!
6. Small human, this is not what I thought you meant by "play"
I thought you were going to throw the toy, not put it in my ear. Who do you belong to?
7. Everyone is lining up in the kitchen, I guess I'll join
They are all holding circles that look a lot like my dish bowl. How can I get one of those?
8. What is Mom is holding?
It looks fancy.
9. They're saying grace
Here's my chance to blend in and get my piece of Turkey.
10. I wonder what the humans look like at the table
I'm sure I would fit right in
11. Finally found a spot to watch football
Mom is probably proud of me because I let someone else take my normal seat. I don't know what's so interesting about watching a ball been thrown across a field if you can't even go after it yourself.
12. All the humans are napping, I guess I will too
I've finally convinced them all to follow my lead: eat and sleep all day!
13. Did someone say walk?
Two minutes ago all the humans were asleep on the couch and now they want to talk me for a walk!
14. Does this mean I get to wake up and do this again tomorrow?
I liked these days with my humans. Let's do it again!
