Happy Thanksgiving

Dear God,

As I lie at my humans feet

 while they celebrate Thanksgiving,

I think of the many reasons that I have to be thankful.

Thank you God for my humans,

they are really great to me-

Mom gives me some really great

belly rubs and ear scratches,

Dad and I take walks together 

and go for rides in his car he bought

for me instead of having a midlife crisis

and buying a sports car- whatever that is! WOOF!!

Thank you God for the food

my humans spend their hard earned money on 

so that I stay healthy.

Thank you God for the water

my humans give me- though I still don't

understand why my Dad doesn't 

want me drinking from ponds, puddles,

creeks and especially the big white water dishes

in his backyard- something about for the birds?

Thank you God for treats

my humans give me- 

they work hard to keep me healthy,

Thank you God for the 

toys my humans give me- 

they keep me busy...

Thank you God,

for the many rescue groups
and shelters,

who work tirelessly
to help animals like me

find homes 

and help lost ones

find their way back... 

without them,
so many of us would be homeless,

Thank you God for the blessings
I haven't barked

PAWS TO YOU 

for making my life so

wonderfully blessed!
