Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.

There are so many things I am thankful for.

I’m thankful for beautiful sunsets sent by angels. For surgeons who know their shit. I’m thankful for Peanut Butter City and a dog who can now run zoomies again. For sushi and salt and vodka. I’m thankful for my family, for friendship and beautiful moments realized.

I’m thankful for rescue, vets. vet techs and tranquilizers. For leashes that hold up, for healthy treat options and for photographs. I’m thankful for Instagram stories, Facebook and blogging. I’m thankful for you. For this community, for constant support and understanding.

I’m really thankful for laughter and love. And random acts of kindness.

I’m thankful for good hair days, handbags, boots and cold-snuggly nights. I’m thankful for the kids in my life.  I’m thankful for all the dogs, and a cat named Bob.

I’m thankful for memories, for giving hearts, and that love lives on.

Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. We’re thankful for all the same. And very thankful that you share the love with us through the honesty, heart-feeling and hilarity of your writing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of yours: past, present and future!

  2. So sweet. It’s cool to see photos of you with your loves as well! Such a wonderful mama you are!!! I look forward to new posts every week. You’re a fabulous and funny writer!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Doug from CT!!

  3. I don’t know how you get such great pictures of all your kids, they always look like they could be doggie models. One of mine ends up looking terrified and the other kinda derpy (or really derpy, depending). I hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
