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. "I can't wait to see everyone and eat yummy food today!" squealed Aiko. "No, sweet pea, you won't be eating the Thanksgiving meal we are planning for the humans," 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!
