Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving lunch at home with just the four of us, during which our ham mysteriously disappeared from our kitchen island. I put it in a Pyrex dish and left to take a shower, and when I came back it was gone. It's very baffling as we thought Griffin had been sleeping at Daniel's feet the whole time. But who knows...maybe he became a stealthy ninja when we weren't looking? Anyway, we enjoyed our mashed potatoes, dressing, fruit salad, green beans, rolls, and dessert anyway and Daniel heated up some deer sausage :) The day before, Jason and Kelly came over with their dog Bandit. Griffin did NOT do well. He got very territorial when Bandit wandered over past his food dish, and barked pretty aggressively most of the night (and had to spend some time in the garage). They eventually warmed up a little and played outside. I think we should have taken them outside first. Daniel is convinced Griffin thought Bandit looked more like a fox mixed with a raccoon than a dog :)

We left that afternoon to take Griffin to Crawford to stay there while we went on to Comanche. We were worried about taking such a huge dog to Gigi's house. Griffin did great in Crawford and LOVED having all the land to run around on, and was fascinated by the cows and horses. He got along with Kathleen's dog Marla and didn't seem fazed at all by Pippen the poodle, but they kept Kathleen's other dog Theo closed off since he doesn't like other dogs.

We had a great time in Comanche with Gigi, Cookie, Jeff, and the Dixon family. We were glad to get home yesterday and are ready to dive into the busy-ness of Christmas!

And Otto was waiting for us when we got home!
