What Family Dogs Are Grateful For This Year

Ah, Thanksgiving! The season when leaves blanket the ground, the days grow shorter, and we cozy up by the fire with our loved ones to feast on turkey, stuffing, and all the trimmings. True to tradition, we often overindulge, regretting our choices as we gather around the table to share what we’re thankful for. In the spirit of gratitude, here’s a lighthearted look at what dogs across the country are appreciating this year.

Bella, 4

I’m thankful that Aunt Lisa and Uncle Mark didn’t get caught in travel delays this year—great to have you both here! And I’m relieved that my secret stash of leftover steak bones remained undiscovered under the couch, the bed, and the hallway rug.

Max, 8

I’m grateful for my loving family, all gathered together to celebrate this special day. Although, I must say, it’s a bit annoying when you all talk to me like I’m a toddler or pet me without warning.

Chloe, 2

I’m thankful you didn’t make me eat off the floor for a single meal. But I’m sure tomorrow it’ll be back to that again. No worries, Cousin Jake is busy snoozing with his personal trainer.

Rocky, 10

I’m relieved that no one has had the bright idea to cover the cat’s litter box yet.

Molly, 5

I’m grateful I avoided that absurd knitted sweater with snowflakes that everyone seemed so keen on making me wear.

Oscar, 3

I’m thankful that you all seem to have forgotten there were actually four pumpkin pies hidden away in the kitchen.

Lola, 6

I’m grateful that everyone is convinced the source of that terrible smell is just the garbage disposal.

Finn, 7

I’m thankful for my humans and my pal, Charlie. And I’m especially relieved that that pesky poodle next door finally moved away to Florida. (Or did he just drop off the face of the earth?)
