Karson's First Thanksgiving

At only 8 months old, Karson is the youngest BT on the foster roster. This Thanksgiving was his very first. It was up to his foster family to set tradition...and make it a memorable day for sweet Karson.

The day began like every other. Karson headed straight to the toy box and pulled out his favorite 8-legged friend. He and Octopus played until they both grew weary.

It was time for a mid-morning nap. Karson spied his foster sister Ellie snoozing on her extra-large dog bed. He hoped she was willing to make room for Karson.
Karson awoke to a very delicious scent lingering in the air. Karson had never smelled anything like it! He must find the source of that smell. Karson poked his head into each and every room until he hit the jackpot in the kitchen...TURKEY!

Not so fast, Karson. It's not time to feast just yet. Why not watch some football with your foster dad? Karson thought football was boring but his dad sure was a comfy pillow. He fell asleep and dreamt of the feast that awaited him when he awoke.

Finally, time to FEAST! There is something special in your dinner bowl tonight, Karson. You've been such a patient boy that we've added some turkey and sweet potatoes to your kibble.

Karson, you're looking a little groggy. Is that turkey in your belly making you sleepy? Why don't you join your foster dad on the couch and rest your head. It's been a long day of anticipation and gratification for you.

As Karson's lids grow weary, his foster family knows Karson is thankful to have a warm house, an abundance of food and friends to share it with. If only all dogs were so lucky.
