Every day was an adventure in Aiko's life. Why should a Thanksgiving holiday be any different? Aiko was up at the crack of dawn, as usual, in hopes of getting her breakfast early. Dan and I got this precious Labrador Retriever when she was ten weeks old, so she quickly got into a routine at home. Dare we be a minute late for her feedings! After breakfast, she pondered what adventures lay ahead of her as we prepared for the Thanksgiving meal with our family at our home. "e;I can't wait to see everyone and eat yummy food today!"e; squealed Aiko. "e;No, sweet pea, you won't be eating the Thanksgiving meal we are planning for the humans,"e; I replied. We'll see about that! she thought. She was right. Aiko's Thanksgiving Day was filled with surprises, but she gave Dan and me the biggest surprise at the Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealer when we took her with us to shop the Black Friday sales there the next day!
