Thank you, Ace …
I’m glad I was patient enough to wait two months to find you, the “perfect” dog for me. I’m not sure I could do that today, now that I’m involved (obsessed) with rescue dogs. I have about five picked out I would adopt in an instant if I could.
I’m thankful you have the endurance to hike all day, but you are also lazy and will sleep till late morning whenever possible. Rare, but sometimes you get the chance. On a typical morning Josh gets up before us, starts the coffee, feeds the cats, goes about his work. It’s not till an hour later when my feet hit the floor by your dog bed, and you lift your head, yawn, thump your tail.
“Oh, good morning.”
And finally, if I did not own you, the world’s most gentle creature, I don’t know how I’d run the same business, the same lifestyle as I do today. With a dozen or so dogs coming and going in a given month, you are careful with every animal whether it’s 4 pounds or 124 pounds. There is not an aggressive bone in your body.
I have to laugh when Scout (a 9-pound cat) casually claims the kitchen, a doorway or the stairs, and you sit and whimper for me, not daring to sneak by the gatekeeper alone. It gives Scout a bit of pride, I’m sure.
Thank you, Ace! You are a good boy.
No matter what you’re doing today, remember to thank your best friend, whether he’s waiting for you at the pet sitters, lying on the couch or hovering in the kitchen for some turkey. I know my mutt makes me smile every day!
Dogs are the best companions. They know how to make you happy when you are sad.

I’m glad you have found the right dog. Wish more people cared about dogs
Thanks! Cute video!
Cute! Duke won’t go “through” Jynx, my cat, without me either.
Very sweet Lindsay! It’s a good reminder to thank our animals! We tend to show the irritations more than the gratitude I think.
Sarah, Duke reminds me of Ace! That’s cute that he’s a bit scared of Jynx!
Thanks, Tammy!
We never forget what a privilege it is to share a home with animals, but this is a great time to remind everyone how fortunate we are!
Agreed!
What a great post. I am so thankful for our three dogs. They are my family and best friends. We have a Corgi, deaf JRT and ShiPoo. Lost our little Chauncy last Dec. on his second birthday to a hit and run, so we are so thankful for these three who helped us through that sad time. Thanks again.

Aw, it sounds like you have a cute little trio. Sorry to hear about Chauncy.
I am quite thankful for my big, silly dog and my kitties too! Thank you for all of your wonderful information and being a cool online bud.
Thanks! I am thankful for my kitties, too!
My dogs make me so happy I wish I could take them with me every where I go.
I know, me too. Wouldn’t that be nice?
