Zippy Take Over, #9

It’s the time of year when my humans list all the things that they are thankful for. It’s not the time of year I would choose, but humans are always a little crazy. And they always seem to list weird things. And I can’t get them to explain thanks and thankfulness. So, I thought I would see what I could think of that I would be happy for.

• My tail still wags
• I can still run all over this human kennel, and I even have my own room
• I have a warm place to sleep all the time, and I can sometimes nap in the sunshine
• I only have to go outside to pee and poop, and sometimes I can make them let me wait if it’s rainy or cold
• I don’t itch as much as I used to
• My kibble is always fresh and good for me (even if I don’t like the taste)
• My water is always cleans (well, mostly)
• I am learning how to tell my humans what I want
• I get all the attention a dog could want
• I have all my own things
• I can convince my humans to share their things and sometimes their food
• I have lots of dog friends, especially ‘Gins and ‘Zee
• I am loved
