Pics from the Thanksgiving trip
My mother and her "office" room. This woman used to threaten to spank me (sometimes with a wooden spoon) for not cleaning my room.
Kaylee, the microdog that my sister bought. My folks found a new home for her, in fact, tomorrow her new family is supposed to pick her up.
Sugar, who absolutely loved my behind the ears "skritching" techniques.
My sister's gaming group does exactly what my gaming group does when waiting for late players to show up.
Thor felt pretty comfortable napping in the guest room while I was watching TV.
Moment of truth. My sister (honeyedapricots), my father, and Morgan (my sister's boyfriend) on Thanksgiving afternoon. This was the first time Morgan had met our parents. Despite dad's body language in this picture, he was pretty friendly.
The morning ritual: Dad wakes up, walks across the house barefoot (that used to be a spanking offense when we lived in Sharon, MA) while the dogs follow him. He loads up 3 dishes with food, makes them sit while he pretends to eat from the dishes (to prove he's the alpha male, he says), then he gives trays to Thor, Sugar, and Kaylee in that order. Sugar finishes eating first, Kaylee hardly touches her dish, and then that dish must be put up out of Sugar's reach until Kaylee gives an indication that she's hungry.
