Thankful for my pets today. Especially Crockett, who is officially as old as the hills. 16 in human years, 87 in dog years, according to this chart I found. Wowzers. He has brought me a lot of joy and a lot more laughs than I can count. He’s not been hearing so well for a few years & you can walk right up on him if he’s asleep. I always hold my breath & watch his sides to see if he’s still drawing air when I catch him sprawled out somewhere unusual. And who would have thought Wally, the little blue beta would be so much fun? He starts swimming frantically if he sees us pick up the little canister of fish food & centers his body under his dinner (bloodworms) & then attacks like a shark. Lastly the pits, Sugar & Lightning (Booger & Bug as I call them affectionately), are so goofy I can’t help but love them. And we have EIGHT of their offspring ready just in time for Christmas if anybody is interested 😉 Thankful for this menagerie…
