Thank you

  • for a wonderful home, good food and loving companionship 
  • for adopting me from a shelter and giving me a second chance at life 
  • for my doggie brother and sister to play with and share my life with. Having them with me helps me to not be lonely when you have to leave the house.
  • for taking care of me when I am not feeling well
  • for taking me to the vet (even though I don’t like it that much) for my shots to make sure I have a long and healthy life 
  • for being patient with me when I was just a puppy and wanted to chew up EVERYTHING in sight! 
  • for taking me for nice long walks and letting me meet new people along the way 
  • for making me a member of your family
  • for teaching me manners and giving me leadership 
  • for keeping me indoors when it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter 
  • for letting me snuggle under the covers with you on a cold night 
  • for the belly rubs and scratches behind my ears! 
  • for taking me on "field trips" to the local pet supply stores!  Wow, what fun! 
  • for just letting me be with you. That is paradise for me. 
  • for the countless things you do for me every day of the year!!!!
