Naked Thanksgiving

I started my day by slipping out to the hot tub on my deck to watch the sun come up.  I am dog sitting for the holiday and of course, Tootsie wanted to come along.  She is a little dog (poodle/bichon frise mix) with a low tolerance for cold weather.

Since it was so early, I slipped out naked with a blue towel wrapped around me.  I have neighbors all around but late at night (or very early), I do not bother with a swim suit.  So Tootsie and I go out to the hot tub with only a towel wrap around me and I quickly slipped in before anyone could spot me.  Tootsie began to shiver soon, even sitting on my towel so I decided to wrap it around her and tuck it in. I never thought beyond that moment of helping her stay warm....when she got up and walked off with my towel draped around her!  There she goes, down the deck looking back at me sweetly and soon the towel slips off her.

Now I have two choices- walk of shame, slow, tip toe, secretly hoping no one is looking or run like hell, figuring no one can make out any details of me streaking (like they don't know it is me at my own home) until I can pick up the towel and make my way back into the house. I opted for #2 and rushed for the towel. Tootsie could not understand all the fuss.

I am now very awake and alive for my Thanksgiving Day.  This naked turkey made a memorable impression on her neighbors, with a little help from my friend:
