Let me get one thing out of the way: for whatever reason, I didn’t get any photos of food. You’ll just have to take my word for it that it was all quite tasty. I did, however, manage to get lots of photos of the various animals encountered at the two main Thanksgiving locales - my mom’s horse ranch in Granbury, and Steph’s parents’ place in east Fort Worth.

One of the ranch’s Pembroke Welsh Corgis - this is Koko, adopted from a Corgi rescue place up north.

This is Zeldie, I believe.

If the above one is the one I think it is, this would be Pressie.

Koko again.

And again.

And once more.

This is Farley, who doesn’t like having his photo taken.

And now, for something different, here are some horse photos.

The paint was very friendly.

She kept motioning for us to come over whenever we got too far away.

She also enjoyed posing for photos.

Back to the Corgis - this is Lucy, who also doesn’t like having her photo taken.

The two shy ones together.

One more of Lucy.

Koko REALLY loves to play tug-of-war with her rope toy. That little dog is surprisingly strong.

Later, at Steph’s parents’ place, this is Mojo.
