Gratitude is for the Dogs

In the midst of the ideal for the perfect dog, it’s good to stop and be thankful for the dog (animals) in our lives for who they are.  The thankfulness may be short-lived as they track in yet more dirt or find the TV remove tasty, or the new leather sofa extremely comfortable.

It’s difficult not to make a comparison with our human family.  They are probably allowed on the couch and aren’t at risk for eating the remote, but our gratitude may be short-lived as soon as they do something we consider annoying.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.  Our thanksgiving should exist every day if even for brief seconds as we find humor or enjoyment in our animal and human families and friendships.   So, catch it quick!  Don’t let the opportunity for gratitude be missed.

Happy Thanksgiving!
