i forgot to show you a picture of atlas and his thanksgiving dinner!

if atlas were writing this post, he would say, “look at my empty bowl. there was a giant turkey and an entire table full of food and they didn’t give me any of it. poor me. i was so hungry.”

ha.

first of all, he eats at the speed of lightning. i don’t think he even chews his food. i had my camera ready before i gave him his bowl and i still couldn’t capture it. second of all, he ate about three dinners. amy fed him turkey while she was carving it. i gave him his bowl of food before we ate. while we ate, he wandered – happy and drooling – back and forth between amy and me, the two people he knew would feed him.

speaking of things atlas would say, here is another one of his opinions: “people don’t bring bread for the ducks. they bring bread for me!” you know, because the ducks are well-fed and he is not. if there are no ducks and people around, i let him eat it, mostly because i’m not convinced that bread is good for ducks.

want to know just how much atlas loves food? he doesn’t like water. he will only rarely go into the water after me, his favorite person. but once, he walked right into the pond to get a tiny piece of bread.

in order of love, it goes kitties, food, then me.
