Thanksgiving is only 2 days away!
Old Dog, Frankie, would like to share what he’s learned in his 11 years of living in a busy holiday-filled home:
- Be nice; greet your guests with gusto. (Everyone gets an enthusiastic sniff hello!)
- Take naps and stretch before rising. (done with flair!)
- Don’t pretend to be something you’re not. (When he’s had enough of the company and confusion, he simply disappears. No feigned interest here).
- On relatives: avoid biting when a simple growl will do. Come to think of it, he’s never growled. He stays close to those he loves and, when he’s had enough, see # 3 above.
- Take naps and stretch before rising. (also done with flair!)
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for each and every one of you!

May you always be blessed
With walls for the wind.
A roof for the rain.
A warm cup o’ tea by the fire.
Laughter to cheer you.
Those you love near you.
And all that your heart might desire.
