Pawsgiving Wall of Gratitude

  • A gray cat with green eyes sitting on a wicker stool indoors, with houseplants and furniture in the background.

    Emrhys

    He's the sweetest, chatty kitteh. He is comfortable in everyone's arms, so friendly with a touch of mischief😈.

  • Close-up of a black Cocker Spaniel puppy with long, wavy ears sitting outside on a wooden deck, with trees in the background.

    Beckett

    Beckett is thankful for his Mom, his backyard, tennis balls, his friend Jake next door. But most of all, he's thankful for his kitty cats who he loves most of all. And Mom is super thankful how gentle he is with them and how well they all get along!

  • Close-up of a gray tabby cat resting its head on a person's shoulder, with a neutral-colored wall in the background.

    Sadie

    Sadie is thankful for cuddles with Mom and any food she can get into. She especially is thankful for her Nana and Grandpop who sneak her food when Mom isn't looking.

  • A tabby cat with green eyes resting on a plush bed near a window.

    Peanut

    Peanut is thankful this year for her continued good health. Her tummy troubles have gotten so much better, she's now a little chunky monkey! She's thankful her belly has more room for all the yummy treats she cons out of Mom!

  • Cute tan dog with a pink harness sitting on mulch with fallen leaves in front of a brick house with pumpkins on the porch.

    Asami (Salami, Sushi, Wall-Eater, etc.)

    Asami, the Shiba of many names! Though a resitant addition to our family, has filled it with adorable pinchy cheeks and lots of kisses. This larger than average Shiba Inu, has a playful heart that does no harm. Even if she has no concept of personal space. We couldn't be more grateful to have a dog this loving in our family!

  • A dog sitting on a porch next to two pumpkins, one orange and one cream-colored, in front of a brick wall and a dark blue door.

    Luna

    Our Sweet Mountain Cur Mix and clingy elderly lady. My mom knew she was the one for our family since she first saw her, and though skittish, she would brave even the thunderstorms for her hoomanz. Loyalty like that is why we are so grateful to have our beautiful Luna girl.

  • A gray cat sitting on a windowsill looking outside on a clear, sunny day with a visible blue sky, a leafless tree, and a brick building in the background.

    Solveig

    What would I do without this girl? I'd probably sleep better, get more work done, and have fewer scars! But I'd also miss those midnight snuggles, early morning wakeups, walks across my keyboard when I'm typing (she's in my lap right now as I try to type this), and kitty naps on my stomach. She's my bestie, my boss, my comic relief, and my confidante. How lucky are we to have our feline friends?

  • A tabby cat wearing round sunglasses with reflective green lenses, being gently touched on the chin by a person's finger.

    Oliver

    We are so lucky to have Oliver and his play mate Quincy with us this year. Oliver is so excited about his first Thanksgiving with his family. He’s ready for a walk in the fresh air after a big turkey meal. Happy Holidays and peace.

  • A small brown and tan dog with a red polka dot bow sitting in a car seat inside a vehicle.

    Trixie

    Trixie was such a force of nature! She always let you know how she felt (here, she is not amused -- but I was.)

  • A happy dog lying on a couch with colorful pillows, holding a small stuffed toy in its mouth.

    Willow

    Willow is a happy little girl with a great smile who loves to meet new people.

  • Close-up of a black curly-haired dog with a bandana around its neck, indoors near a window.

    Phoebe

    Ummm…. You’re going to give me some turkey, right?!?!

  • A adorable puppy lying on a blanket on a brown leather couch, with a colorful pillow nearby.

    Lola (aka - Lola Bean)

    Lola joined our family a little over a year ago at a time when we thought no more pets... We've had many over the years (Dogs - Kirby, Henry, Izzy, and Cooper and Cats - Boo Boo Kitty, Scraps, Cinder, Max, and Cosmo). But our daughter Amanda started sharing pictures of the 2 dachshunds born to a friend of her mother-in-law from just after born up to time to be adopted. A week before the 2 pups were to be up for adoption we decided to adopt Lola. She is such a loving pup that hasn't met a human she doesn't want to offer her belly up to for belly rubs. And she's very good with other dogs/cats. She simply loves life and we love her so very much. Looking forward to many years of hikes, travels, boating, paddle boarding, golf cart rides and whatever adventure life brings us.

  • Long-haired gray cat with piercing yellow eyes sitting on a surface.

    Setsuko (faithful child in Japanese)

    Setsuko lives with us in memory. She loved Thanksgiving with a seat at the table. She would stuff herself with turkey, sweet potato, and pumpkin pie until she would roll off the chair, belly very full, and then take a nice nap. We miss her and will always be thankful for her being with us.

  • A black and white cat resting on a fluffy padded cushion

    Mouse (aka Tasmanian Devil)

    I am thankful that you let me kiss your widdle forehead for the first time this past week. I love you, you wild fur-child you.

  • A cat wearing an astronaut helmet in outer space with a starry background.

    Joop a Noop

    I am grateful for Joop every day. He’s an amazing astronaut and has done so much for the discovery of aliens in New Mexico. As he often says, the truth is out there. (Though I tell him he got that from a TV show!)
