Giving thanks for friends and their pets. Not only do I have heart for furry friends, but most of my friends do as well. Some friends of these friends were born, as I was, with an innate love of the amazing canine and/or feline companions. I not only get to be honored by the presence of my friends, but also their pets who are greatly loved. Although this little guy got in trouble with his mom when I stayed in their home last year. I woke up with him as my blanket. Oops!
All well-loved pets should suck up MORE to company because those are the alternate feeders. Dogs (and particular cats) know that their parents/caregivers will feed them – it’s unconditional. But they also know a good backup plan is invaluable. Just in case something happens to mom and dad, perhaps her friend will take over the multiple meals per day (and many, many snacks).

We give extra thanks for this wee one today. With the power out and my brother staying here adding a nervous dog who paces to the mix, she was very upset. We couldn’t find her today … until this evening. Since the house was near ripped to pieces hunting for her – inside and out – we don’t have a clue where she was hiding. We are celebrating the return of the electricity, but even more so the return of our sweet kitty!

In the office I worked in back in 2008, we had mini-pumpkin decorating contests each Halloween. Thank goodness it wasn’t carving! I would not have done well, and I tend to do unintended damage with knives.
The competition was fierce…

If I remember right, the hamburger won…

But I still think I did okay…
