The Night Before Turkey,
and all through the house ...
Mom and Grandma are cookin'
and I'm buggin' about.
My sniffer's on overload
There's food to be smelled,
I can't help it if Turkey-Day's
only a day away.
By golly I need food
or I'll just melt away.
Turkey, and gravy
Mashed potatoes
Cranberries
Carrots and corn
And another growl from my belly.
Mom's got side dishes galore,
and all they're preparing,
Right now for me?
Hmmmmm ... just dad's favorite
KeyLimePie yogurt, and a Mary-Chino Cherry.
--- Don't I look nifty sportin' my muzzle and ball-cap? Dad took me to a local ballgame, and I got to watch two teams of kids smash each other on a football field.
And peeps in the stands didn't "shush" me when I started to bark at the ref.
Matter-of-fact, I got "high fives" from the peeps behind Dad and me ... and some dude Dad knows gave me half of his ballpark Frank. MMMMmmmmm, half of a chilidog is better than none, you know. I gave him a big mustard and ketchup grin, and a big kiss.
You know, I almost jumped onto the field to bite the ref for another "bad call", but Dad kept me tethered. Shucks!
Better luck next time.
Shadow, C-A-T!

Before you can compare Canada to the USA for international students, you should understand the differences between colleges and universities in each country. Both the US and Canada have colleges and universities, but the terms have different meanings.
In Canada, there is a big difference between the two: universities grant degrees, while colleges grant certificates and diplomas. In Canada, a college is similar to institutions called “community college” in the United States. If you want to earn a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in Canada, you should look for universities, not colleges.
In the US, any degree-granting institution is known as a college. Generally speaking, a university is a bigger institution that offers more options. However, the words college and university are used interchangeably in the US. Students talk about “going to college” even if they are really attending a university.
The degrees you earn in each country are different, too. In the US, most bachelor’s degree programs are designed to take four years. Canadian bachelor’s degrees are sometimes three-year programs. In Canada, a four-year program might be called an “honours bachelor’s degree.” The honours bachelor degree is similar to the US bachelor degree — however, you should be aware that a student with a three-year bachelor’s degree from a Canadian college may not meet graduate school requirements in the US.
Canadian universities base admissions decisions almost entirely on grade point average (GPA). If you have a GPA of 70% or higher, you have a good chance of being accepted at a Canadian university. Some may also require an admissions essay, but you can usually use the same essay for every application. Acceptance rates to Canadian universities are high. You have a good chance of being admitted as long as your grades are strong.
Meanwhile, US universities and colleges use non-academic factors like extracurricular activities or recommendations from teachers and employers to make admissions decisions. Volunteer work, clubs, sports, awards, and other nonacademic factors help US colleges decide if you will fit in with their campus culture. As we will discuss later, campus culture is much more important in the US than in Canada.
