Hurst: Hmmm…I’m going to guess ….animals?
Carol: Wow, you really know me well. Yes, and I’m thankful for all the support we’ve gotten this past year at Creature Feature News…our readers, our supporters, and the other fanimals that send us news article ideas.
Hurst: And for me of course.
Carol: Of course. Which reminds me. Are you having a vegan thanksgiving this year?
Hurst: Yep, I’m quitting meat starting today. You could say that I’m going cold turkey.
