And the #1 thing that I, your dog, am THANKFUL for is...

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I have seen several posts the last few days about what we, as dog owners, are thankful for and have loved reading them.  We all have so much to be thankful for at this time of year -- our families, our doodles and other pets, our jobs, God  -- the list goes on and on.  Well, last night when I was doing my last-minute shopping for our big turkey dinner, I ran across a card that made me laugh and I thought I'd share it with you today!

 

IN HONOR OF THANKSGIVING,

HERE IS A LIST OF THE TOP TEN THINGS 

  THAT I, YOUR DOG, AM THANKFUL FOR:

 

10.  Tummy rubs

9.  Slow-running mailmen

8.  Open toilet seats

7.  Anything made of rawhide

6.  Houseguests' legs

5.  Trees, fire hydrants, telephone poles

4.  Other dogs' butts

3.  Sleeping cats

2.  Car rides with the windows down

 

AND the #1 thing that I, your dog, am thankful for is....

 

That I belong to YOU!

 

Knox might argue that the list above is a bit out of order -- unfortunately he really likes #8 and would probably substitute SQUIRRELS for MAILMEN-- but I think he would agree that the #1 thing he's thankful for is RIGHT ON!   

 

So...what changes would your dog make to the list, if any? 

 

Oh, and by the way, Happy Thanksgiving and GIG 'EM AGGIES!

Stupid IPhone meant Dog in the world

[Jen, Lachlan, and Declan]

The cat litter box!

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Replace open toilet seats (don't happen in our house) with a face to lick!

replace #5 with PETSMART!!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

My guys would both say "road trips".  Their favorite thing is to go with us....anywhere.  Even if we don't take them some place fun, they just love riding in the car.

[Doris]

Bodi is thankful that his two big brothers are home from college for the weekend!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Knox is thankful for that, too! He has his big brother and big sis home! Yay! 

[Colleen, Jake & Baxter]

Jake is thankful that he is not a "doodle in need" like the one he is helping to foster this Thanksgiving!

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Sophie and Winston: our mom's visa card and doodlekisses.

[Pat and Traveler]

Traveler is such a Dudley Dood Good that several of these wouldn't apply.  He isn't interested in the mailman, unless he can greet him, he doesn't drink out of the toilet, he doesn't hump other dogs or people---but he LOVES it when I point at the ceiling and say 'squirrel.'  Then he goes into a barking frenzy, which is hilarious, and also seems to temporarily scare the squirrels out of the attic.  He loves the vacuum, which he barks at and chases (well, yes....I let him do that because he enjoys it so much), he loves when I come home after being out somewhere without him, he loves garbanzo beans and playing chase-me.  The number 1 is Right On!    

[Ginny Nightingale]

My dogs were just barking like mad at the mailman, who brought a package to the door--so that is definitely on their list.

They would replace rawhide with cow hooves and the rest are perfect--I would add the forsythia bush which they run and play under every day.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Tara would go with number 1, 2, 4 and 10 but the thing she is MOST thankful for is that Mom and Dad both have WFH jobs! And we are thankful for that too!!!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Amen to that Ricki! The next best thing is TTDTWYJ which is what Daisy has, so I will add that to Daisy's list.
