As the crisp autumn air settles in, and the leaves blanket the ground, families gather to celebrate Thanksgiving with feasts of turkey, stuffing, and an abundance of side dishes. This is the time of year when we reflect on the blessings in our lives, often sharing our gratitude around the dinner table. In the spirit of the holiday, let’s take a moment to consider what our beloved family dogs are thankful for this year.
Lola, 4
I’m thankful Aunt Mary and Uncle John didn’t get stuck at the airport this year—so happy to see you both! And thankfully, no one discovered the hidden treats I’ve stashed under the couch, the bed, and the hallway rug.
Max, 8
I am grateful for my loving family gathered here tonight. Even if you all sometimes speak to me as if I’m a toddler or touch me without my permission, I still love you.
Bella, 2
I appreciate that I wasn’t forced to eat off the floor for one night. But I suspect tomorrow I’ll be back to my usual spot under the table. Oh well—Cousin Timmy is crashing with his fitness coach.
Rocky, 10
I’m thankful that no one has yet thought to cover the cat’s litter box. It’s a small victory, but I’ll take it.
Sophie, 5
I’m relieved that I didn’t have to wear that awful wool sweater with the snowflakes. No thank you!
Oliver, 3
I’m grateful that everyone is enjoying themselves so much that they forgot we had four pecan pies. More for me!
Charlie, 6
I’m thankful for Mom, Dad, and my sister Lucy. Plus, that annoying little Schnauzer next door finally moved away—thank goodness! (Did he relocate to Tulsa, or did he just vanish?)
