Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Dadthzs!

It's getting colder at Camp, and days are getting shorter (and darker - thank goodness for my LED collar!).  I go to work in the dark and I come home from work in the dark.  JuJu was looking at your current daylight situation at Thule AFB, and she told me you have total darkness now until mid February.  With that knowledge, I will try to do a better job of writing more often so you have some bright spots in your day.

Here's something that should brighten your day:  I am learning how to be an awesome Uncle.  Last night, Rob came over with Kasey and Bailey.  At 8:00, JuJu sat down to watch her favorite show called This Is Us. (I am really starting to like this show a lot too, because JuJu usually cries or gets tears in her eyes every episode, so I can use my mad skills of Comforting during the show.)  So I took my position on the couch, and look who came up to snuggle with me.

I can't take all the credit on this.  As you can see, the 3 of us adult dogs also encouraged Bailey to have patience and sit for a treat:

I have also learned that Brett likes popcorn almost as much as me.  Now that we spend more time indoors, Brett makes popcorn just about every night.  As soon as I hear that thing start popping down stairs, I run down to help.  You know me Dadthzs, I am a Protector too.  I guard doors, I'm always looking out the window, etc.  Well this popcorn machine is no different.  I guard this thing with my life.  Brett makes really good popcorn, and he shares it with me all the time.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  I am going to the farm in Lake Elmo with Summer.  We will spend most of the day there with B, the Strobels, and grandpa Bruce.  Brett & JuJu are going to St. Cloud for the day.  I like the farm, and I'm really looking forward to hanging out with that crew for the day, as they are all pretty generous in the treat department.  I bet Summer and I will get some real turkey from B when we help carve, not just the scraps. 

Love you Dadthzs,

Bru

PS:  Summer and I are taking the day off work on Friday to help JuJu bake Christmas cookies.  It's nice to have unused PTO for a day after the holiday. 

PPS:  If I mail you my Christmas list, are you close enough to Santa to just walk it over to his house?  Are you guys in the same neighborhood?
