Three thanksgivings ago we had quite an event. We decided to deep fry the turkey. While the turkey cooled on the kitchen counter (the tall part), we went out and played basketball with the neighbors in the cul-de-sac. Now, this would generally mean that the dogs would be in the doorway howling.

After a few minutes of playing we noticed we hadn't heard a peep. We went back in the house and the entire turkey was gone. I mean completely. Not even a place where turkey oil or whatever could be detected. All the dogs were quietly laying down like nothing happened. (At this time we had one black lab and 2 beagles).

The only proof that a turkey had been in the kitchen was the completely cleaned platter.
We werent sure who did it until a few hours later when it was time to watch them go to the bathroom. They all had the turkey *****s. So worth it!! There was no punishment we could have done that would have matched it.

Needless to say, we now make sure our turkeys are well guarded.
