1. Dog show

I have to see the Herding Group because I love them, especially the two in my house.

[debm55]

2. Very good , Thank you get the red out. My German spitz is in the everything group. Poor Dolly. Her breed will never win

as she is in with the Poodles.

22. German Spitz

They are a lovely breed! I'll give them a vote!

[debm55]

24. Hint, I called her an American Eskimo and called out on it by a poster. I am glad you know the German Spitz is the same

breed, Thank you get the red out.

26. When I was in HS, a friend's family had a black half spitz and half chow indoor dog, man that was one mean animal...

You didn't dare try to pet it because it would snarl and snap at you, why they kept it, I don't know...

[debm55]

31. Thank you wcmagumba. German Spitz are very kind, Dolly is only 24 pounds. Chows are prone to be a protective/mean. breed

I have 4 dogs in my life---a Siberian Huskey/Shiba Inu mix, a regular Shiba Inu who did not bark but let out a Howl. and two German Spitz which are know as American Eskimo in the US .thank you my friend and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

30. Clean up, parcel out leftovers, sit around and talk. Then The Cowboys

Mr YD and I do not like football, so we usually come home.

For years, we took our daughter to the movies instead of putting up with the game, usually to see the new Disney release. Her birthday is Nov 29th so after the movie we went back to her grandparents' house and had birthday cake and leftovers. It was her 'family' birthday party as opposed to whatever we did on her actual birthday. It saved trying to get the whole family together again between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Every year it can be different. Some years a bunch of us will go to the upstairs game room and watch something else on tv. Our crowd is going to be bigger this year, so who knows? Maybe someone will gin up a game of Loteria!
I think I will take our Chickenfoot Dominoes - even kids who can't read can play that.

When I was growing up, our extended families did not have a big Thanksgiving get together every year. If my mom's brother and step brothers were going to be in town, my mom's side of the family would have a huge dinner. We did not watch football; after kitchen cleanup, there would be a lot of sitting around the table talking over coffee and dessert.

Christmas was the biggie get together for my Dad's family usually the Sunday after Christmas. Back then it wasn't wall to wall football so we had a great time just being together and eating everyone's special dish(es).

[debm55]

33. Thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving memories with us, yellowdogintexas with us.

[MiHale]

32. The meal starts at about 11:30 am...

After some of the diehard parade fans get home…Then Football and eats till about 7-8 pm…cleanup in the am.

Sometimes, not often there’s a Hockey game on the day. Bonus!

Our family is very sports oriented. Before tv football we played our own games but we all got a little older.

[debm55]

34. Have a great meal and follow up. MiHale. Have a great Thanksgiving for you and yours.

[MiHale]

37. Watching football!

My husband and I are going out to eat, so when we come home, we'll change into more comfortable clothing, park ourselves on the couch, and watch the game(s)!

[debm55]
