thankful

ruby is doing better.

we got a 2nd opinion,

which is giving her a 2nd chance.

which she so very much deserves!

she has a very

naughty pancreas, kidney and

some of her intestines are

just not playing nice...

but...

i am thankful for "rescue jennifer" and the new vet.

and the help she is receiving.

and that she is doing better.

and then this one...

other than when he is a total klutz,

that results in a total mess...

i am thankful for him, too.

and i think he is thankful for the poochy, too.

above is an older photo

(because someone else has the camera this weekend),

but when i got home earlier with ruby,

a certain furball made his way to her

and gave a few kitty-kisses to her. 

and then they followed each other around for awhile. 

and then because puddy mcfluffkins IS a cat,

he got bored and wondered off.

i love our furry ones!

so i am not thankful for things.

it is not "what" i am thankful for.

it is who.

 ahhh, big ole sigh!

kernels of thanksgiving...

my 4-yr-old brought this home from school the other day:

the legend of the five kernels
- the first kernel reminds us of the autumn beauty around us
- the second kernel reminds us of our love for each other
- the third kernel reminds us of God's love and care for us
- the fourth kernel reminds us of our friends - especially our native american brothers
- the fifth kernel reminds us that we are a free people

we each have a kernel that is near and dear to who and what we are...be thankful!

and, because, in each day one must have a bit of humor...i now give you vintage adam sandler, from 17 years ago (possibly a bit inappropriate in parts, but...post it i will):

happy thanksgiving to each of you!
