EXTRA POINT
Most mornings these days I simply open the door and let Griff the Wonder Dog out to do his business, after which he comes charging back in to gobble down his breakfast. Fortunately I looked through our glass front door this morning and spotted the 14 turkeys on the lawn before letting the old boy out.

Knowing it could get ugly – Golden Retrievers are bird dogs after all – I had Griff on leash when I opened the door. If you've never heard the sound of 28 wings flapping in almost perfect unison you would be amazed at how loud it is. I'm glad I knew it was coming because it would cause quite a start if I didn't.
