Lily D. Dog has an ouchie boo-boo!
Yesterday, we had to make a trip to the vet to have her sebaceous cysts excised.
Poor Lily, as you can see from the photo's below, she has a couple of really ugly ouchie boo-boos!
and..
The good news is that Lily has some great pills to numb her pain. She will be spending her turkey day a tad stoned out of her little doggie mind.
We, on the other hand are currently cooking pies and preparing the 21 pound turkey for roasting.
This year we are keeping things simple.
We are baking pumpkin and "mystery pecan" pies. Our turkey will be seasoned with a slightly salty, slightly sweet, Asian inspired marinade that we've made using orange zest, orange juice, tamari, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, jalapeno pepper, green pepper, red pepper, onion, garlic and celery. We intend to place this mixture just under the skin and inside the turkey cavity. It should be quite tasty!
And of course we will also be serving all of the other traditional Thanksgiving trimmings....
Dishes like: green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, potato rolls, cranberry sauce, a gi-normous veggie tray with dip, stuffing and gravy.
This year, we've invited several other families to share our dinner.
It is my hope and my prayer that our table will be a place of peace and sustenance for all.
I wish you could all join us!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Yikes! Poor Lilly. I hope this clears up those things for good. I know she's had problems with them for a while. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We do have so much to be thankful for. :-) James
