Thanksgiving is upon us—a time when the days grow shorter, the air turns crisp, and families come together around tables laden with turkey, stuffing, and a plethora of sides. We often find ourselves indulging to excess, followed by the traditional ritual of expressing gratitude. Here’s a glimpse into what some family dogs across the nation are thankful for this year.
Bella, 4
I’m thankful Aunt Debbie and Uncle Sam made it home from their trip without any airport mishaps—great to see you! And thankfully, nobody discovered the chicken bones I cleverly stashed between the couch cushions, the rug, and under my bed.
Max, 8
I’m grateful for my loving family gathered here this evening. Even if you all have, at some point this year, treated me like a toddler or petted me without my consent.
Lola, 2
I appreciate that tonight, I didn’t have to eat off the floor. Tomorrow, I’ll likely be back to being treated like second-class canine royalty. Oh well—Cousin Benny is snoozing with his fitness coach.
Oliver, 10
I’m thankful that no one has decided to put a lid on the cat’s litter box yet—freedom reigns!
Chloe, 5
I’m relieved I avoided that ridiculous knitted sweater with the snowflakes this year.
Duke, 3
I’m grateful that you’re all a bit tipsy and forgot about the four pecan pies waiting for dessert.
Pumpkin, 6
I’m thankful that everyone believes it’s the garbage disposal that smells like something died.
Rocky, 4
I’m grateful for my humans and my buddy Charlie. And that pesky little Poodle from next door finally moved away. (Did he move or just disappear?)
