Happy Thanksgiving

Best Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is here, so our minds have turned

To what time has taught us, to what we've learned:

We often focus all our thought

On shiny things we've shopped and bought.

We take our pleasure in material things,

Forgetting the pleasure that friendship brings.

If a lot of our stuff just vanished today,

We'd see the foundation of each happy day

Is special relationships, constant and true,

And that's when our thoughts go directly to you.

We wish you a Thanksgiving you'll never forget,

Full of love and joy - your best one yet!

(Joanna Fuchs)

A dogs Thanksgiving poem (2)

T is for Turkey, I want several slices

H is for Ham, which you cut into dices

A is for A Generous Scoop of mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes, too.

N is for NFL and the games that I'll view

K is for Kibble, mix some with my dinner

S is for Stuffing, with sausage - a winner

G is for Gravy, please pour it on thick

I is for Inhale, 'cause I lick it up quick

V is for Very Full, the condition I'm in

I is for my Interest in eating again

N is for Nap, which I now need

G is for Grateful, that you are my person, which I am, indeed

Under the table - A Thanksgiving poem

For dogs and cats waiting for morsels from Thanksgiving tables everywhere 

Family gathers ‘round the table

Set with turkey, yams and dressing,

Holding hands and bowing heads

Thanking God for every blessing. 

Platters steaming, bowls are brimming,

Dishes circle like a wreath.

Though the tabletop is tempting,

I’m drawn to something underneath. 

At my feet I feel a tapping

A paw that tells me someone’s there.

Perhaps he’s hoping for a morsel.

But instead, I say a prayer. 

A dogs Thanksgiving poem (1)

I give pause to my paws on this day of Thanksgiving,

Whether wide-eyed, or doe-eyed, or with eyes that seem hidden,

They're focused on you,

As I watch for a clue

Just wink or a touch,

Says I'm important to you.

But my words sound like woof

My voice kind of gruff,

So I know that

My thanks may seem never enough,

But this secret I share

With you on a whim

All dogs speak best with what's farthest from them,

Whether fluffy or skinny, full-sized or "a la carte"

Always watch for our tail,

It's attached to our heart.
