Four Score and Sweeteous

Dear Dog Friends. Bet you know where this goes!

4 score and something years ago…the Pilgrims and their ferocious Yorkie guard dogs landed in the New World. After some tough times, together with the Indians, they had a Thanksgiving feast.

We don’t know if they had guitars or mandolins or drums, but hopefully they stuffed themselves, watched football or witch burnings, and partied.

Their trusted Yorkie dogs would have ended up with the bones of the turkeys and deer and…hmmm, maybe those guys just hunted clams in New England…..and there would have been some bone crunching and clam shell cracking and snarling, Yorkies vs. the Indian dogs.

Presumably the pilgrims would have watched their Yorkies carefully, because some societies like roast dog. Skinny yorkies would not make good fare: just ask Lewis and Clark.

Anyway, we fast forward 4 score years to 2005: Briggie roasted a turkey, she and the Chief are sort of pecking at it on the coffee table in the family room watching the TV news.

Chief comes up with this idea to find dance music on the laptop. So they go into the kitchen finding these demos of dancing music and trying it out…

“Wow, Waltz Ballad of the leprechauns!” “1… 2… 3… 1… 2… 3… 1… 2… 3… “Crunch?“ I wonder what that noise was?” “ Whatever”

“Look, here’s Tango music….slow ..slow ..quick, quick… slow, 1 ..2…3,4…5, ….1 2 3.4….5 : “Crick” What was that?” “ Never mind”

Chief says…”Aha…Listen to the wild Rumba music”….”1….2,3….1 .. 2, 3…. “Snap” “What was that?”

Briggie says, “Hmmm that sounds like… a Yorkie eating turkey leg!!! Charliie!”

Where is he? Darn, he’s back of the couch!

GRRR…..she pulls me out by the halter “And he ate the whole leg!” Snarl….

And that my dog friends, was Sweeteous! If you learn to crunch in time with the music, you could probably eat the whole turkey before your people catch on.
