Happy Thanksgiving week! We want to take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful holiday and to let you all know how grateful we are that you continue to stop by our little acre on the ‘Net. Your caring support over the years underscores just how truly amazing this community is.
We hope your Thursday forecast is filled with abundant blessings. May your day be spent in the company of those most dear to you. In the words of the Roman statesman, Cicero, “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.”
Thanksgiving is more than just about festivities; it gives us time to reflect on lessons we’ve learned and how we can share more joy. At this time of year, as we look back at all the memories, people and their good pets who have come into our lives, we want you to know how much we appreciate you all. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and your loved ones. And because it’s Monday, we offer the following little holiday poem.
We hope your stuffing is tasty, your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, while the desserts take the prize.
And may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs. 🦃
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Haha on the cartoon! 😀 Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for you!
Happy thanksgiving to you and yours!
Happy Thanksgiving week my friend. I hope you all have a beautiful and delicious holiday!
Thanks; it was a lovely family affair. Can’t believe there’s now less than a month until Christmas! Yikes.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I have to work on Thursday…so we’ll celebrate on Friday.
Working a holiday such as this one, is not that awful, I get to meet family members of those I care for, and they get to meet me…one who helps care for their loved one(s). It helps to make nice memories as well. Our sons are adults so they understand what I do is important, they are willing to share me with my residents:)
That cartoon and your little poem made me giggle!
Thanks for the kind wishes and thank you for spending time with your patients. Working in medical care on holidays makes you an angel in our mind. Bless you!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you. Let’s hope that it gets more winter-like around here soon.
We’ve got our paws crossed!
Hope you got some snow with the storm that moved through Wednesday. I have been out of town but it looks like maybe 28 flakes fell in town. Everything is brown and dusty.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Elsa, Norman, and all your loved ones!
Many thanks, Sue. Right back atcha with ear & belly rubs for Ducky and Bogie.
Thanks for the good chuckle and the funny blessing. We hope you and family have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving too.

I’m having pot roast and veggies and maybe some pineapple casserole. I’m so looking forward to spending the day with the dog and cats that I love. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Ooh, sounds yummy!! 😋
Lulu: “Any turkeys who need a place to hide are welcome to come here!”
Got it-I’ll pass along the word. 😉
Great post, it is a good time to be grateful for friends and family…2 legged and 4 legged, real and virtual!
Most definitely. Wishing you and yours our howliday best.

Great poem! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Thanks. I had to chuckle with that Thanksgiving poem. Hope yours is terrific!
And likewise to you as well. We thought that was a funny poem and figured most people could identify with it.
We are going to see how eggplant lasagne pairs with homemade cranberry sause, LOL. The sweet potato pie will in a gluten-free crust will round it off. Hoping you have a great week and Thanksgiving day.
I’m drooling just reading your menu! Love sweet potato pie! Have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, frens! xoxo
Love and licks,
Cupcake and Mom
Thanks, Cupcake. Hope yours is pawsome!
Aww…thanks for the kind thoughts and wishes and we hope your T-Day is totally delightful from start to finish, full of many good things and devoid of stray dog hairs in the Tofurkey. Keep in mind that Cicero also provided sage advice for dealing with the last piece of pie: “Carpe Jugulum” which of course suggest you go for the throat.
Hahaha! Who knew all these years I’d been following Cicero’s sage advice (which probably explains my appearance. 🤣

We do not celebrate Thanksgiving Day in Australia, but I give thanks for all the lovely and wonderful people who have come into my life through being on here – past and present. I treasure those of the present and miss those of the past. I wish everyone a great and wonderful week.
Thanks, John. We’ve enjoyed getting to know you and dear Benji and count you as one of many wonderful folks all over the world. Hugs and tail wags to you, Annabell and our favorite down under pup.
Love the funny and love the poem. I don’t want dinner on my thighs either.
Have a fabulous day, week and Thanksgiving. Scritches to the pups, a smooch to Norman and a big hug to you. ♥
I’m with you on keeping dinner off the thighs. Wishing you a ‘furbulous howliday’.
Too bad it settles on the glutes.
Among other stuff places. Hope you, the AJF and sweet Max has an awesome Thanksgiving!
Yeah, if only. 🤣
The poem will work if we do not partake of dinner … ! Or perhaps just avoid the stuffing and mashed taters …
I need to remind myself to avoid the over-stuffing 😉
a blessed and warm Thanksgiving to all on the ranch – both physically present and those who reside in the heart
Thank you! I love that sentiment.
A lovely post of giving thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Thank you. While the year has had its share of pain and heartache, we are grateful for our blessings, including dear bloggers like you. Mwah!
That it has. And yes, blessings are many to be counted as well. I feel the same, dear Monika. MWAH!
🥰

Have a fun Thanksgiving with the furkids!
Thank you. Hoping your Thanksgiving in the midst of renovations is peaceful and calm with the kitties.
Thank you, Monika. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Norman and Elsa.

how funny that cartoon. At first I thought you were referring to the weather here at the moment. It’s going to be near 70 most of the week. what a change in one year
Yeah, I thought given our warm temps it was funny and fairly accurate. 😉 Happy Thanksgiving week with best wishes to you, Milo and Drew.
wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
And to you, Lenny, Levi and Roary❣️
