Plot

After Garfield and Odie torment Jon for not waking up early enough to serve them blueberry waffles for breakfast, he finally does. Garfield then goes to the kitchen to kick Odie off the table, and notices that it is the day to go to the vet. Garfield decides to rip out the Wednesday (which was the date) page and stuff it inside Odie's mouth. Then, he reads that the next day is Thanksgiving. He then tries to trick Jon into thinking it is Thanksgiving, so they go to the grocery store. Garfield is happy, but then notices Jon is going the wrong way home. Jon states he is going to the vet, and Garfield screams, causing Jon to be a driving oaf. After they arrive, Jon tries to get Liz to come over for Thanksgiving, but she days no, and that Garfield will have to go on a diet. Jon and Garfield make a very loud commotion in the room, and Liz finally has to admit that she'll go to Jon's Thanksgiving dinner. Garfield is now suffering a bad diet and Jon, Odie, and the scale are being very mean to Garfield. Garfield becomes a sourpuss, and makes Jon mess up Thanksgiving dinner. When Liz comes, she realizes that the diet is too strict on Garfield. Jon then realizes that the turkey he made is still raw. Garfield and Jon then plot to call Grandma. In seconds, Grandma comes and fixes up dinner. The dinner proves to be very delicious. However now, Garfield, Odie, and Jon are now even more overweight. Garfield and Odie are sitting on the couch with full stomachs. Only Garfield is able to get off the couch and Odie is too heavy. Finally, Garfield gets his own chance to annoy Odie on his first diet.
