Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers!!  Celebrate big with family, turkey and pie. :)

I opted to stay home this Thanksgiving as I just didn't feel up to travelling my my parents; you know, with going back to work, germs creep back into my life and I feel a tad flu-ish. So, I celebrated quietly with dogs, a roast chicken rather than turkey but certainly with pumpkin pie! I also went out with a friend for coffee, had breakfast yesterday with my brother and his family and managed to get the dogs out for some play times.

There's been LOADS going on around here... dogs have come and gone. Macy and Dory have both moved out- they were the cute little Newf mixes. Paco, the Jack Russell spent one night here then moved on to another foster. Maggie is here, for an undetermined length of time, but I'll get to her. At one point, I had 6 dogs shoved in and learned that is CRAZY!

I've also started to look for a new vehicle. My trusty Buick is no longer quite so trusty so I am moving onto to a mini-van I suspect. I'm not in a rush, but I certainly felt some sticker shock as I visited Honda on Saturday. Sigh.

I've cleaned the house, cleaned kennels, cleaned cages, worked and done yard work. So, there's reasons for the absence, but I do apologize.... But, we're back!!

Everyone here wants to wish you a happy Thanksgiving should you be celebrating this weekend....


Sophie, napping happily on the loveseat. :)


Maggie. She's a lab. She's 8 and her owner is dying of lung cancer. She's the wrong colour, but other than that, I LOVE her. She technically has an application in on her already and she may well move to Edmonton, but in the meantime, I am trying to figure out if I can let her go. She is a sweetheart of a dog!


Spikey. :)


Murphy. Why do I always manage to cut her ears off? LOL


Even Dru and the crew want to say happy thanksgiving. The girls are thankful for a brand new SPECTACULAR cage, with 5 shelves for their amusement.


Zander, peaking out who is grateful to move into the girls old cage- even if I haven't completely redone all the shelf liner.

Anyway, from my crew to yours... happy Thanksgiving!

Happy thanksgiving, Jen. A lot of dogs are thankful for your care - hmmm, maybe that should be a lot of critters, not just dogs!

Sometimes a quiet holiday at home is just the thing. Time to yourself to relax and enjoy what you have.

I gotta stop approving comments on my iphone as I too often hit "delete". Sorry Honey!! Anyway, here is your comment anyway.... :)

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! We don't celebrate Thanksgiving at all Down Under but we do enjoy "joining in" your celebrations! :-)

And I'm not surprised you're struggling to let Maggie go - look at that gorgeous face!! :-)

Well, they ALL have gorgeous faces - including the rats! :-)

Great to have you back!
