A tradition you can share with your Big Dog on Turkey Day

You’re expected at Great Aunt Beatrice’s, but Big Dog is no longer welcome after last year’s tackling of the Turkey.

Big Dog grumbling. “Yes, I know you say it was a fumble, so therefore legal. But technically it wasn’t in her hands because it was on a platter and she was going down, because she tripped over you laying in her kitchen doorway”.

Tips-
Let her check out the fall decor. 

Allow one or two friends and relatives to come up to her at a time.

Give your Big Dogs a place to go if the noise and sounds are a bit too much.  Check on her more often than usual.
Include her in a few of the games and events. Give him his own “appetizers”. Put her away during the meal to prevent guests from handing her questionable tidbits.
