There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American. ~~ O. Henry (born William Sydney Porter), American Writer, 1862 - 1910
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~~ E. P. Powell (born Edward Payson Powell), American Journalist and Author, 1833 - 1915
Happy Thanksgiving!
Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. ~~ Aesop, Greek Writer, 620 - 564 BC
Do I look noble?
Sometimes it is hard to put into woofs all that I am thankful and grateful for; I see it in my mind, and I feel it in my heart, but sometimes it doesn't seem to translate easily into woofs.
Thank you, Porgy! He said sometimes we don't need woofs to convey how thankful we are. He said our actions, such as tail wags and licks, can express our love and gratitude more than woofs every could.

Back to me...
Let me think...I am thankful for so much in my life, where to begin?
I know of one thing thing I am NOT thankful for -- leashes! Grrrr....
I am very thankful that there is so much in my life that I have to be thankful for!
On this Thanksgiving Day I would like to my gratitude to all my wonderful blogging friends. You are all very special to me. And, despite my often infrequent postings and long absences, you still come around to visit me and leave me the best comments any pup could ask for. I am grateful for your friendship and thankful that you are in my life.
A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog. ~~ Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney), American Author, Journalist, and Social Activist, 1876 - 1916
As much as I am thankful for my human, K, sometimes her vegetarianism is annoying. She never has any bones or leftover meat to share with me. So, this Thanksgiving, I am especially thankful that there is a carnivore in the house. Leftover goose, meet my tummy! I'm just sayin'...

Those crossed paws say it all, Suka.
We don't like leashes either, but they are here to stay.
Wishes to you for a great day of thanks and good family time. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us.

Suka,
How wise of Porgy to give you such words of assurance :) Yes, we should be thankful even with the little that we have cause thankfulness will always keep us in check so that we would not be swayed into an endless pursuit for more without purpose and neglect the very simple things, people and furry ones around us that's always there with us through good and bad times.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and K!
Love ya,
Jon Terry
What a lovely Thanksgiving post. We wish we had Thanksgiving here in Scotland. It's just an ordinary dull dark November day here but, in the spirit of my American friends and I going to give thanks anyway for my comfy home and highly carnivorous family, the fact that I have so far not had many visits to the vet and that I'm taken on lots of adventures (often off leash).
Oh and Suka, you most extremely noble looking.
Toodle pip!

Suka, you look super noble and handsome and we are so thankful for your friendship. We are so glad there was leftover goose. Yummy to your tummy. Happy Thanksgiving, dear Friend.:)
Love,
Teddy Bear & Sierra
Woof! Woof! YES you sure look noble ... LOVE your cross paw pose. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Lots to be grateful for. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Hello my friend,

We are also very grateful to have your friendship in our lives...
big hugs and blessings
Hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving. Those crossed paws are perfect for maintaining cuteness.

~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
Oh my gosh, no doubt about it...you are for sure the mostest noble-est in the land!
Right back at cha! We are very grateful for you, too. Can't tell ya how much we sincerely enjoy reading your posts and seeing your handsome face! You're the kinda pal that makes us wanna stop over there and give you a big hug!
We aren't 100% vegetarians; but we are very proud to say we eat extremely healthy....organic this...organic that! Haven't had red meat in years, and don't miss it, either!
Never had goose! I bet it was yummy. Our yummy-est food was the pumpkin pies and the mashed potatoes! Now that's what we're talkin' about.
Have a wonderful week.
Sending lots of xoxoxoxoxo,
Joan & little Janie Poo
You and Porgy are cuties. I love your paws crossed pose. Maybe you are prayin'
Nice to meet you. I was in Minnesota for awhile and my human mom grew up there.
now we live in beautiful Montana!
Porgy is so wise. Sometimes nothing more is needed than to close your eyes and send warm thoughts of gratitude and care to those who will instantly feel you plucking at the ties that connect you. Can you feel our energy?
hope you had a great thanksgiving.
Love the pictures of the paws crossed!
Love those crossed paws!!
Xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ooh crossed legs symbolize hard thinking! I should try it sometime...
but thank YOU, Suka, for being a wonderful paw pal in the blogosphere!
i agree with you on not being grateful for leashes! how would humans feel if we took their cell phones away? or their candy?
thank you for being a wonderful friend and i hope your thanksgiving was pawsome! and if you went to a BF sale, i hope you came back in one piece ;)
Hope your Turkey Day was awesome! :)
We are very thankful to you and all our blogging friends too!
And give the Tofurkey a try--you may just love it!
I am thankful for you and your blog. And your moments of beauty!
You look so very noble. I am so glad that you have so very much to be thankful for. I have to say, I like my leash. It lets me go places with Mommy and Play in the back yard. Leashes aren't so bad when the people use them right.
Doggy Kisses,
Tanner
What a great post! We're thankful we know woo! mom says - "wonderful art!" (she's a big fan of beautifully painted foodstuffs )
I think Jack would get along fine with K, he LOVES veggies! Honestly, he's just as happy with a carrot as a bone!
Miss Moo & Jack a-roo too
Hope your Thanksgiving was the BEST!
