Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

October 12 /09

.

to all my Canadian friends!

Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada and my family sat down at the diningroom table for a delicious meal.

'Course, I had to sit on the floor.

,.

While they ate turkey ...
.,.

... and sweet potatoe

...and veggies
.

... and Bocconcini salad

.

... and wine

... and fruit.
.

Well, wouldn't you know it? Mama went into the kitchen! My timing was impeccable.

But just as I was about to nosedive into her plate, she came back and caught me. Yeesh. Her timing's better.

So I had to resort to my usual begging routine - chin on arm and pathetic gaze of starving street dog.

c And what did it get me?

Turkey in my bowl !!

Works every time

And did I "gobble" it up ... ha ha!

Actually, I was very thankful.

And I'm also thankful for being a loved dog every day of my life.

In fact, here are five things I'm most thankful for:

For healthy food and clean water

For my loving family

For my warm, safe home

For my good health

For all my good friends

... Oh yeah, for sticks, balls, plushies, my frisbee and all my toys. .

... Oh, and for sunshine and rain on my face, and wide open spaces to run and jump in that make my heart swell with joy.

Oh, I could go on and on ....

,

What are you most thankful for?
