Bandit tried living up to his name tonight but his plot was foiled! :)

I've been doing little preparations for tomorrow all day and decided it was time to clean and soak the turkey. I'd just had time to take it out of it's wrapper when my Dad called on the phone.

While chatting with him, a movement out of the corner of my eye caught my attention and I saw Bandit slowly pulling the turkey off the counter by the tip of it's wing. I managed to drop the phone and grab the bird before it hit the floor without doing too much damage to either!

Thankfully neither of us are wing eaters so I did a wingectomy before putting it into the roasting pan. Now it's safely in the refrigerator waiting for it's big day. A little lopsided, yes, but it was either that or hamburgers for Thanksgiving. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
