Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Readers,

My friends and I have so much to be thankful for this year! 

First and foremost, I'm very thankful to all of you for reading and commenting and recommending my blog. I do it all for you.

I'm exceedingly grateful to my blog staff, Dizzie and Alfie, who assist me with my movie reviews, and work tirelessly both in front of and behind the camera, helping me turn out new blog posts each week.

My neighbor Cali is always happy to lend an ear when I need a girlfriend to talk to, and Frank's sister Ceecee does all she can to help us, even though she doesn't get out of the house much. Thanks, girls!

I'm especially thankful for my new boyfriend, Frank. I know he is a favorite of yours, and I'm grateful to him for making so many personal appearances on the blog, despite his busy schedule of busking and cooking.

Does anyone else have something they would like to add?

Dizzie: I'm thankful The Boss gave me my first job as her blog intern, even though she doesn't pay me. I'm also thankful for car rides, my Oinkies, and my girlfriend Willow, not necessarily in that order.

Alfie Cat: I'm thankful for dumb rabbits, birds, mice, and frogs. I'm also thankful that this blog has given the entire world the chance to know and appreciate me.

Cali: I'm thankful to be part of this troupe. I take great satisfaction in helping others, and making people happy.

Ceecee: I'm thankful for my big brother Frank. He's very protective and supportive. He's also my best friend. That poodle better not break his heart, or she'll have me to deal with!

Mr. Frank: I'm thankful that I finally got the girl! Doll Face said "yes" to going steady with me. What more could I possibly want? Other than my own restaurant, and to be recognized as a talented tuba player, that is.

Lilly Faye: Thanks everyone!

Dear Readers,

Remember, we don't need a turkey and pumpkin pie, or a special date on the calendar, to be thankful for what we have. If Thanksgiving isn't celebrated where you live, you can still count your blessings, and I hope you have many, many wonderful things to be thankful for.

Love,

Lilly Faye

November Mailbag, Thanksgiving Edition

Dear Readers,

It's been awhile since we opened up the old mailbag, so let's dive in.

Rosie the Rhodesian Ridgeback, writes: "Dear Lilly Faye, I like your turkey. What's his name?"

Lilly Faye: He isn't a real turkey, Rosie, so he doesn't have a name. Real turkeys are mean. They attack you with their spurs, and then you have to go to the doctor and get a shot. I decided to go with a paper turkey from the stationary store, instead. I think he's pretty. 

Lilly Faye: Otto the Otterhound, writes: "Dear Frank, what are you cooking for Thanksgiving?"

Mr. Frank: Thanks for your question, Otto. I plan to fry a turkey this year.

Lilly Faye: That can be dangerous, Frank. If you set the turkey fryer too close to your house, you can accidentally burn your house down!

Mr. Frank: No worries, Doll Face. That's why I plan to use your long driveway.

Alfie Cat: If anyone wants to make a rabbit stew, just let me know. Also, you're all getting a lucky rabbit's foot for Christmas.

Dizzie: Not so lucky for the rabbit!

Lilly Faye: I'm not even going to ask.

Next, Sarge the Shepherd, writes: "Cali, have you ever been in the military or served on the police force?"

Cali: I'm a civilian, Sarge, but I have been through the Citizens Police Academy, I'm a Neighborhood Watch block captain, and I guard the home front.

Lilly Faye: And she's very good at it, too. No one sneaks past Cali.

We have one last question from Chico the Chihuahua. Chico writes: "Dizzie, you talk about your girlfriend Willow all the time. Why don't we see more of her?"

Dizzie: Unfortunately, Willow lives out of town. Ours is a long distance romance, but when we get together, it's epic!

Lilly Faye: O--kay. That's all for now, Dear Readers. We always love hearing from you, so keep those cards and letters coming.

Love,

Lilly Faye
