The Halloween decorations have come down, but a really big turkey now sits at one corner. Roscoe finds him quite curious.
Our neighborhood is quite big into decorating, so we were disappointed when the Halloween season was over. To our surprise, some neighbors don’t wait for Christmas. They decorate for Thanksgiving! Roscoe had a very close inspection of this really big turkey, but then Hu-Dad’s imagination took over (as it so often does). He envisioned Roscoe nibbling to see if the turkey was tasty, but puncturing it with a tooth. The balloon would shoot up in the air, farting away, with Roscoe dangling below. Yes, our Hu-Dad is just a little weird like that.

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

What a turkey Roscoe!…
The stores have so many cool blow ups like that for the holidays but where we live in the country, it is too windy and nothing stays anchored down so we just oh and ahh and other people’s decorations.
One Christmas, Juno and I drove by a house where among other things, was a giant dog. She stared at it out the window for the longest time. I wondered how her brain processed the thing, familiar, but too big to be real and it didn’t move or bark. Roscoe kinda has that same ‘what the heck’ look.
My old Willie loved to look at decorations, Miss Ruby could care less. No attacking the turkey Roscoe, Hu-Dad would have to replace it.
I really HOPE Roscoe doesn’t decide to take a BITE out that turkey-lol
Quite a long time ago I was walking our Dobie mix Patty and someone in the neighborhood had a Santa similar to this BUT it popped out of the chimney when someone walked by. Our poor girl puled mw DOWN the street NOT liking it AT ALL! I’m glad Roscoe doesn’t seemed to be fazed by the turkey at all.
Landon would be the one freaked out if something moved. He doesn’t care much for decorations. Roscoe is always curious.
Your sense of humor is similar to my late husband’s. Every time we passed a blow up he imagined shooting it & watching it zooming into the sky!
