Turkey Lurkey Day

Most people in the States will refer to today as Thanksgiving. But the Teamsters local in our home refer to it fondly as Turkey LurkeyDay. It’s when the dog and the cats supervise the preparation of the feast and, are given bonus servings of turkey.

I’ve tried to point out to them that as Teamsters, they are not supposed to supervise anything and should be working to the “Contract.” In the heat of the discussion, they asked me to point out where in the contract it says this, but of course, they are the only ones in possession of copies of the contract. Dog and cats- one, Supervision – zero.

Turkey Lurkey Day began in primordeal times, the days of my Canadian cat Clancy ( AKA The Grey Menace). He gleefully adopted stateside holidays. After all the fireworks on the Fourth of July? In Celebration of his birthday. Thanksgiving? People in the States are thankful he journeyed south to celebrate with them. Bring on the turkey! Don’t serve up enough turkey…he’ll draw the balance in O-negative blood.

So, today is the day I work in the kitchen side by side with my favorite animals.
