As Thanksgiving approaches this week, we give thanks for everything we have around us, including our beloved animals. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sneaks a piece of ham or turkey under the table to my dog or cat when I'm eating Thanksgiving dinner. Our fur babies are also giving thanks, not only because they are getting some of the bird or pig on our table but also because they have a home. They are thankful that they have humans to take care of them all year.
I don't have my baby this year. She was taken from me last year, but I am still thankful for the time I had with my dog. I live with my friend and her parents, and they have two horses, a donkey, three dogs and two cats, so I can definitely share my turkey with one of these lovely animals. Thanksgiving doesn't just affect us; it affects our animals too even though they don't exactly know what day it is. They know that it is the day they get something different! Here are some gifs that just say it all.
"Hey, come back here. My master needs to cook you."
"No, cat. It's mine."
"Who do you want me to be? I can be anyone as long as it gets me at the table for the turkey!"
"Let us pray. Thank you Jesus for the food. Amen. Let's eat!"
And I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
