Yogi sure does love him some Squirrel.
He has lots of toys but always goes back to the squirrel ones.

He is not destructive at all with his toys…
he is super gentle with them.
But when he gets in a tugging match with my husband or sons,
an arm or leg or tail usually gets torn off or is left hanging by a few threads.
Then I find little balls of polyfill stuffing all over the floor…
so then it’s time for-
Squirrel Surgery!
Yogi watches me verrrry closely
while I re-attach an arm or stitch up a big hole.
Then when I’m done and give it back to him,
he is so gentle and caring.
He licks it all over…
and invariably get’s fuzz on his tongue…
which he tries to get off by rubbing his tongue over his nose!! YECKKKKK!
Both my sons and their girls will be at the girl’s homes for Thanksgiving this year, so my dear husband and I are on our own!
I think it will be a very quiet and relaxed day for us. I am still going to make a small turkey and all the trimmings, but only for two!!

So, I should not be too tired to get lots of Christmas decorating done on Black Friday and over the weekend!! Woo hoo!!
Sooo, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Most of my family will be here for Thanksgiving this year. I'll go see the rest at Christmas. Yogi needs to teach Gibbs about being gentle with his toys. He would turn that squirrel into a carcass within 20 minutes!! That is all he has in his toy basket right now. Some big old bones and several carcasses lol! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! It will be three of us this year, last year I was in CA with my daughter and her family. Yogi is adorable as always!! Will he get some turkey?
ReplyDeleteSo enjoy your postings! I just retired from 36 years of teaching, mostly Kindergarten and First grade. We will be hosting Thanksgiving again this year with mostly my family attending and four guests who will be new to our table...about 20 to 22! Enjoy your quiet celebration!

I love Yogi posts! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI've performed quite a few squirrel surgeries as well as "mailman"' "ex-boyfriend", skunk, frog, elephant, hedgehog and various other stuffed toy surgeries.
ReplyDeleteI have 25 coming to my house for Thanksgiving dinner, so I'll be pretty tired, but thankful for leftovers.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm a die-hard Poodle Person but your little Yogi is such a doll. I could become a convert to another breed. Loved all the photos in this post.
