I left here at 2:30 to get a turkey and the trimmings...Here in Spokane they have "Toms Turkey Drive" t every year. It use to be they had the Salvation Army do it. It was hectic but worked pretty good..
Then, they moved it to the arena....yes we have a arena....It was cold..it was rainy.. it was,,well nasty..There was this long line that stretched in switchbacks clear down to riverfront park...
Rocky was in his element, he said hi to hundreds of Turkey Getters...They loved Rocky..he's beautiful because he gets to go for a walk every day and he gets to eat, good food that includes all kinds of raw vegetables except onions. He also browses plants for some reason...and its not any plant either,he goes back to the same plants...so far three or four different..
We froze, standing in line stalwart,resolute, absolutely having a good time with others, Rocky saying hi! What an icebreaker. I've met so many wonderful people all because of Rocky and whats interesting is how the blood pressure goes down of the entire group..being happy and wanting to get along...I,m stunned how people take to him. After standing in line for an hour we finaly got under the roof overhang where it was dry...a blessing..we had been rewarded for our fortitude..A couple more switchbacks and we'd get inside whear it is heated....Yea!!!
Inside, once i warmed up a little bit, ..i went to the bathroom Yeaa!!
Enough toilet talk and poop jokes.. Not only that but i got to sit-down. rocky got to lay-down on the heated floor. We were in heaven...And then a Turkey, and potatoes apples and trimmings and a nice volunteer lady of 50 +/- who asked me if i could carry the turkey, she would carry the rest. So off we went we had journeyed all around the arena and were back whear we had started. My van a football field away...We arrived and said thanks...a-lot!
I'm impressed by Spokane City at its best.
When we got home, Rocky ate all the dogfood and i gave him one of his favorite treats. Which he devored and promptly crashed..It was 5:30
Are we blessed?
