Me: “Good
grief! If y’all see me go anywhere near
the refrigerator, bite me and refuse to let me go. I am so full.”
Bentley: “I thought about warning
you when you took that second roll. Then,
there were all of those yummy pies. I am
so glad you snuck me a taste of pumpkin with whipped cream.”
Bentley: “Don’t worry about it. I’ve heard every family has “that one” relative. Mom did take a stupid long time to dish up
our bowls. First, we had to endure the
Thanksgiving smells all morning. Then,
when she gets our dinner ready, guess what she did? Yep, she asked Dad to take pictures. I was about to chew my foot off in
anticipation! I probably would have if I
hadn’t been laughing at Pierre.”
Me: “Nobody
knows the troubles you’ve seen. You two
are such drama kings. I asked Dad to
take pictures so that we could tell everyone a little more about our friends at
Merrick Pets and Petco.”

Thanksgiving dinner + Pierre = Naptime |
Pierre:
“Is this going to be a bedtime story? My belly is full and the couch is calling my
name.”
Me: “No,
it’s too exciting to be a bedtime tale.
Merrick has teamed up with Petco to donate a free meal to a shelter pet
for each Merrick Thanksgiving Day Dinner or Turducken canned dinner
purchased. They will give up to $1
million worth of canned food.”
Bentley: “Grab the keys! It’s Black Friday and there is a sale at
Petco today. Do I need to remind you
that it’s almost my birthday? I can
check some stuff off my Christmas list while you buy me presents. That way we can get our paws on a case or two
of Merrick. Click here for a coupon on Merrick's tasty treats. That Thanksgiving Day Dinner
is awesome. It has turkey, sweet
potatoes, carrots, green beans, and Granny Smith apples. Merrick makes the best food for the best dog
ever…a.k.a. Psst, slide me a napkin; I’m
drooling again.”
Pierre:
“I relished each and every ingredient. I was thankful for how they
blended
perfectly. Do you think our friends that
are not from the south will know about a turducken? It is definitely a bayou classic.”
Bentley: “Let me share with them how
my buddy Tucker describes a turducken to your character in Mom’s book, The Returns 2~Showstoppers.
“Tuck draped an arm around the Westie. “It is the best meat concoction that has ever
been invented. You take a boneless
chicken, cram it into a boneless duck and to finish it, you stuff all of that
into a boneless turkey. Layer cornbread
dressing between each bird, add ya some spices, cook it for hours and voila,
turducken.”
But, that is the human version of the recipe. Merrick does use many of the ingredients. Each can has turkey, chicken, and duck along
with the sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, and Granny Smith apples. I vote that we get a case of each. You know, for the shelter pets.” *tail wagging with guilt pure innocence
Pierre:
“You know that I am always concerned about the ingredients. Merrick never uses any products from
China. It puts a smile on my face when I
read there aren’t poultry by-products, any artificial additives, or
preservatives. You won’t find any fake
flavors or colors, there’s no corn, wheat, soy, or glutens. It's a healthy food
that actually tastes like you’re cheating. Do I need to get ready to go shopping before
sunrise? I am still thinking power nap.”
Me: “I
can’t take y’all into the madness of Black Friday shopping! I’m afraid somebody will step on y’all. Besides, Santa Paws might be there
shopping. I’m sure all good little dogs
are in bed at that time of the night.”
Bentley: “If you see Santa, don’t
forget to tell him that I have a huge Black Friday sale in my store. I’m taking 50% off on over one hundred of my
best stuff. How’s that for a
Ho~Ho~Ho~Hounddog?”
Pierre:
“That sounds like a great deal.
Now, if I can get another bite of my leftover Thanksgiving Day Dinner, I’ll
nap-up and be ready to do some online shopping.
Gramma, where’s your credit card?”

It sounds as though you had a great time. I'll tiptoe back out so as not to wake you!
ReplyDeleteMy poor dogs got all the smells and none of the treats of Thanksgiving. We took it all to my brother's house. Which made for a quiet day for them. I'm sure they were thankful for that. :) Happy Leftovers Day!

ReplyDeleteWe LOVED our Merrick Thanksgiving Dinner! AND we loooove the fact they have helped feed so many shelter animals! Merrick ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Petco close by, so couldn't do the special deal, but the dogs still got Merrick for their Thanksgiving dinner - I think it was the special holiday one which was another promo Merrick did. They're such a great company!
ReplyDeleteHope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
