I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Today is what our humans call Food Day.
Me: No, today is what we call Thanksgiving Day.
Stella: Same thing.
Me: Not really. Remember this morning when I gave you all your breakfast? Do you remember what I said to each of you?
Stella: Yes, you said, “Food. Food. Blah. Blah. Blah.”
Me: No, I said, “Happy Thanksgiving!”
Stella: Same thing.
Me: I admit that special food plays a big part in this celebration.
Stella: Is that why you ate chips and salsa for breakfast?
Me: I… really, I just…well, the chips and salsa were sitting there.
Stella: And they jumped into your mouth because they are special food for Food Day, especially in the morning.
Me: Forget about the chips and salsa thing.
Stella: It is hard to forget that picture in my mind.
Me: Back to Thanksgiving Day. It is a special day for giving thanks to God and remembering our blessings.
Stella: Just today? That is stingy.
Me: No, not just today. We should give thanks every day. But today is a public celebration. Families. Friends. Special food. Well-wishing.
Stella: Like those humans who throw money in a hole in the ground.
Me: No, not at all. This well-wishing is hoping everyone has a happy day. So Happy Thanksgiving, Stella girl.
Stella: And to you, too, Lady Human. Have a good Food Food Blah Blah Blah Day.
