Two Of The Numerous
Thankful Souls In Our Home
This Thanksgiving
“If having a soul means being able
To feel love, and loyalty, and gratitude,
Then animals are better off than a lot of humans.”
James Herriot
Both of them are very thankful
In a home, with so many friends
Both of them, had been homeless
And their misery, is now at an end
Little Jack the Dog, had been dumped
He had been starving, out on the street
His canine love and loyalty, are enormous
He is an immensely grateful pup, so sweet
Young Valentina the Cat, had been all alone
Living under a cold loading dock at a factory
She had known only loneliness and hunger
Now, every day, she purrs her thanks, to me
And both of these former homeless waifs
Have been welcomed by our other pets
All of them are still extremely grateful
They haven’t stopped thanking us yet
All of our pets are truly appreciative
Of the loving home, they all now share
But so many today, are not as fortunate
There are far too many homeless ones out there
America’s animal shelters are overflowing
There are far too many, ‘left behind’ pets
Who all now desire, a second chance at life
Who have so much love to give someone yet
Please visit the Home 4 The Holidays website below
Their goal is to find over a million pets a new home
If you can find it in your heart, to take in, just one
I would truly love to read their new adoption poem
“And they will be your friend,
For always, and always, and always.”
Rudyard Kipling

Wonderful poem to give thanks. Rudyard Kipling's words give
praise to all creatures.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family..furries too!
Lady Mary Ann
While watching a woman who runs a remote hunting camp above the Arctic Circle on the TV show, Life below Zero, last night. She reminisced about her dog that she had to leave back in Fairbanks because it had grown too old. Anyway, the dog had no companions at the remote outpost until an Arctic fox that she has named, Slinky, came along and befriended her dog, playing with him outside. Now, with her dog gone, she relies on Slinky as her pet and vermin reducer around the camp. Both enjoying each other's companionship.
