Amos, I need me a hungry dog.

We will have several at Thanksgiving this year... a basset, a tall thin mutt who can levitate onto the table like a deer when you aren't looking, a little half-catahoula who is actually well-behaved, a mostly-Brittany spaniel who's a redhead without a temper (the basset, actually, has the temper), a beagle who is getting old, and a chocolate lab; all rescues. Oh, and I forgot jaildog, who is tiny. We are not a cat family.

And we can usually talk politics as we are all liberal. Almost all. One nephew of mine decided at age, oh, 7 maybe, that he would have to be a republican because one day he would be rich. He's almost 30 now, still fairly-newly out of the closet, and he voted for Hillary so he's not an ass. Much. He tries to spout their lines, but will see sense. Mostly.

And I found the pie recipe which uses a cookie called Sandies for the crust, but I could only find pecan sandies, and what do you want to bet I will hear about that.
