I'm thankful for...
My mom says Thanksgiving is next week and all of my friends will be out of school. I like having a few days' break, but just not too many.
When my mom talked to me about the holiday, she said it's a time for us to stop and think of all the wonderful people in our lives. She read me a story called "The First Thanksgiving". It told about the pilgrims who came across the ocean and how they had a huge feast with the Native Americans. The pilgrims were thankful for being in a new land and for their new friends that taught them how to grow crops in order to survive the harsh winter. Then she read me a funny book called "I Know an Old Lady That Swallowed a Pie".
We then talked about all of our wonderful friends and family we have in our lives. I am very thankful for my new home here in Fountain Hills and all the friends I've made at school. I just get so excited knowing I get to see them on Thursdays. They give me hugs and in turn, I make them smile.
I'm also very thankful for the "boys" in my life. My boy Jon lets me sleep in his bed every night and I keep him warm. My other boy Nic comes home sometimes on the weekend from ASU and he gives me belly rubs. Finally, my biggest boy, Ben...but I don't get to see him much since he lives a long way away in North Carolina. I'm excited, though, because he is coming home soon to see me.
I'm thankful for my big brother, Dakota. He shares his big bed during the day and keeps me safe outside when we go "sniffing". He always knows the best place to rest in the sunshine during the day when Mom is away at school. I've even thankful for my little sister, Muffin. She can be real annoying sometimes, always jumping around and wanting to play. She shares her food with me (when Mom isn't watching) and while Mom is watching TV at night, she will finally just snuggle up next to me. She is my sister and yes, I do love her too. (sigh)
I have a lot to be thankful for...Mom reading books to me, making sure I have my "spa day" at the groomer's, frozen peas in my food, and making sure my eye stays healthy. But most of all, she rescued me and gave me the best home, and she loves me a lot. I love her too.
But...I'm still thinking about that old lady who swallowed a pie. Why? I guess it could have been a
carrot pie! If so I would "gobble" up that pie!
Oh yeah...I'm thankful for carrots.
