On a chilly Sunday morning in November, this little pood found himself daydreaming about grandma’s apple pie while he should have been cleaning his room, tending to the community garden, and brushing his fluffs. Despite his long to-do list, the poodle worked tirelessly, slicing up the apples, making the crust from scratch, and taking a few photos along the way…for the gram. Soon, the pie was in the oven, and the heavenly scent of cinnamon and brown sugar filled the air in the little pood’s home. The poodle started to organize his vinyl records while the pie was cooking, and he picked up an old, dusty record, one of his grandmother’s favorites, and started to play it. The calming melody combined with the sweet scent of pie, and the collection of holiday memories that played like a movie in the poodle’s mind offered comfort and delight. Finally, the timer went off and the little poodle looked at the time. It was 11:11. It felt like a sign from the universe – the memory of grandma’s freshly baked pie had come into his mind for a reason. He realized that baking grandma’s apple pie was exactly where he needed to be right then and there.

The little poodle enjoyed a big slice of warm apple pie before continuing to grind through his to-do list, with a smile on his face.

This is the monthly 1/1 giveaway piece for November 2022.
