ThanksChristmas

We spent Thanksgiving in NY with my parents. Celebrating both Thanksgiving and Christmas with the cousins.






One of the benefits of ThanksChristmas is getting to open presents as an American-Indian

He was a good dog.

He freely gave his kisses
He protected his girls with fervour
He centered around his family
He greeted guests with offerings of nasty chew toys
He gently nuzzled the babies
He patiently tolerated the destructive toddler
He snuggled the child
He joyously ran along side those who ran and
he slept in with them when they stopped
He loved his family... and we loved him.
