Thanksgiving Wishes

Hi Everyone,

Sometimes it's hard to remember to be thankful when so many things for which we are unthankful happen around us. But then we have to remember that it's all part of this amazing but unpredictable thing we call life, for which we are always thankful.

Since I'm not as deep a thinker as our Angel Jake was, that's about as far as I can go with this thought; but I want everyone to know that I'm doing my best to fill Jakey's paws and make mom and dad giggle like they used to. So Happy Thanksgiving to all my pals in the US and thankful wishes to everyone else no matter where they are!

By the way, I learned from Bogie T. Sherman at the Bridge that residents there can eat anything they want... all that yummy Thanksgiving stuff that we dogs are usually deprived of -- so I just want to send a message to those who are there: Dig in!! And Jake, sample a bit of everything for me, won't you please?. Mom won't have to tell you to watch it or you'll turn into a roly poly porky dog! Enjoy! We love you!

Remembering Essex

We never met for real, but Essex, a beautiful collie living in Key West, was my date for one of the fantastic virtual events so many of us attended thanks to the talents of our friends.

Today Essex crossed the bridge suddenly, unexpectedly, leaving behind Joe, her dad, and Sherman, her young great nephew, so we want to tell the Key West Collies http://keywestcollies.blogspot.com how sad we are and how much we will miss her.

Dear Essex, We hope you have already found Deacon, who left for the bridge a while back and have met up with so many of our other pals from the DWB as well as my brother, Jake. 

God speed, lovely lady! We had fun that night, didn't we!!!

Just Harry.
