Fee-line Fine Fridai [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-11-24 Hello, this was my first thanksgiving, I’d smelled the aroma before but never got any, guess it was human food so I wasn’t to have any, however first A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦 Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul. Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community. Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people. Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly. There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw. SO I smelled the aroma as hoomin unpacked her groceries, smelled so good. Ok not for me. Surprise! Mom emptied the container into her dish, but gave me the container to lick the gravy remnants. Oh sooooo good, I licked the container so well it could have been used again. But of course that didn’t happen, hoomin crushed it into the trash because styrofoam can’t be recycled. Hoomin mom very careful about that. So next day hoomin explaining about Thanksgiving, aka turkey day, how early settlers gave thanks for a good harvest a time when women wore long dresses and men wore funny hats. Oh no, I’d have to wear a funny hat to have….turkey? No wonder I never got any. But mom explained no funny hats we could share without hats or long skirts. Then mom explained our feast would contain foods I wouldn’t like, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and cranberries, maybe you’d like the gravy, but not the rest especially, the cranberries. Cranberries are bright red and very pretty, hoomin says she likes them alot, but I would definitely not. But mom, ok she said you can sniff, to be sure you’re still not going to like them. And no I surely didn’t. But hoomin what about the pumpkin pie, can I have any? As before, and as with the stuffing she said I can sniff, she’s still betting I won’t like it… So we set down to my/our feast, hoomin brought out small glass of liquid I’ve never smelled before, she smiled, you definitely won’t like that, I sniffed anyway, terrible aroma and tickled my nose. Mom said that’s Moscato wine cats definitely shouldn’t have. Ok Mom, can we eat now— so we ate, my first taste of turkey, Hoomin says by tradition we don’t have it very often, though that’s changing and we’ll have some more this time next month. Some more next month mom? I like turkey, my first turkey day and I didn’t even have to wear a funny hat, thanks mom.
