Thankful Thursday

We have a lot to be howling about! Just one week from today is Thanksgiving, and while I was caught up in my nightly Husky Huddle of hugs, wet noses, and chatty woos, I started reflecting upon all the things to be thankful for. There are so many, but these top my list:


  • Being alive.
  • Being part of a wonderful family.
  • Having a beautiful daughter who is my best friend.
  • Having beautiful, loving Huskies.
  • Having an adorable abandoned cat accept and adopt us .
  • Having good friends.
  • Having good health for family, friends, and furbabies.


I've now added to this list some new friends we are thankful for--both furpals and human. Thanks to the wonderful thing called technology that includes Tweeting, blogging, chatting, texting, and communicating via other social networking systems, the FiveSibes and I have "met" some truly nice, inspirational, and supportive folks and their furbabies. It's great to have the capability of talking about our pets and their love, devotion, and crazy antics with others who share the same passion. 


It's great to have a network where we can reach out through happy, fun, difficult, learning, and challenging times to talk about our pets with other Hu-parents who share in the love, care, and compassion for animals. Even with all the love, loyalty, and devotion we receive from our pets, there are also - as with everything in life -  sometimes sad and tragic experiences as well. It is nice to have a place to come to and join others to share in some of those sad trials and glorious tribulations. A network of support. A comfortable haven. 


So added to my list of things to be thankful for are the connections the FiveSibes, Smokie the cat, and I have made through this blog and social networking. We wholeheartedly thank you for your support, your readership, and your conversation.


And...in the same vein, there are some folks the FiveSibes and I need to give a shout (or "woo") out to ...

  1. Thanks for visiting us. I have some cookie recipes that I have tested out on my pals and I would be happy to share one. But since it is after midnight and I'm sleepy, I will have to do it tomorrow after I get some sleep.

  3. What a beautiful post! You are very fortunate to have such a long and great list of things to be thankful for! I, and my human, K, are thankful for having "met" all of you! We love reading your blog and seeing all the beautiful photos of the FiveSibes! I wish I could join you pups in all your fun, but I think I live too far.

    Sorry we missed the blog hop! My human was so busy today that time got away from her and it took a lot of woofing to get her to blog tonight. How very cool that we are both featured on The Teacher's Pets! Couldn't have picked a better bunch of pups to be featured with!
