I'm Thankful for My Family!

Last week was a very important holiday-- Thanksgiving. Mama and Papa told me it's a time for family to get together and eat a lot and say nice things to each other. Mama and Papa told me they are thankful for me. I am thankful for them, because they give me treats and blankies and they make sure I don't have to go back to the shelter.

On Thursday morning, we got all our stuff together. Mama put my food and treats in a bag, and she packed my favorite toy! Oh boy! I jumped in the car and Papa strapped me in and we drove off. We went to Greenville to see my grandpa and his wife.

The last time we went there, I had to patrol for cats, but this time, I only looked around for a little bit-- the people were very busy doing stuff and I figured they were ok. I met my Aunt Bonnie! She's papa's sister and she lives in Charleston and she's very nice. She wasn't feeling well, though. She gave me lots of rubs and called me "Budders", which I liked. I had fun with her.

Besides that, I slept a lot. It was very nice. There was a fireplace and it was so warm, and the rug was comfy, then I curled up in a fun chair.





I spent a lot of time on the sofa, too, getting rubbed by Papa and Grandpa. Papa said the men in the family should have special time, and I agree.




Then the family had dinner, then Mama and Papa and I got back in the car to go home. Mama had to sing in a concert on Friday, which is why we couldn't stay over with Grandpa. That's ok, though, because I don't think I would have had fun with those cats. Mama got up early on Friday and had rehearsal, then she sang at night, and Papa and I spent the day together.

Saturday was very relaxing. Mama had another concert but not until the afternoon, so we had a relaxing morning.


The weather was nice, so she let me sit on the porch for a while.


On Sunday, we had a visitor! Her name is Miss Angel and she is a doggy trainer! Her job is to tell mamas and papas how to fix problems with their doggies. Miss Angel liked me a lot-- she said I was a very calm, well-trained doggy. Mama is worried because I am too attached to her and when she leaves me places, I scream, and it makes me very distressed. Mama doesn't want me to be distressed. So we are working on building up my confidence. I am used to bothering Mama whenever I want attention, but since Miss Angel has been here, Mama won't let me bother her. I have decided it's more fun to play with my toys, so that's ok.

On Monday, Papa took me to daycare, which was so weird! But he is ok without me, so I didn't scream when he dropped me off. I cried because I wanted to go in! I had such a fun day.

Yesterday, Mama took me to the vet for a shot. She let me ride in the front seat. I cried a little, but Mama said I was a very good boy. Then she had to go someplace called Trader Joe's, and she left me in the car. I didn't like that too much, but I had my rhinoceros to keep me company so I was ok.


It was a very tiring day! I went to my bed and curled up with my toys and slept a lot. Mama said it is good because we have a very busy weekend ahead. I wonder what we will do! I'm sure I will tell you all about it, whatever it is.
