A Thankful Pup

When I woke up this morning I asked Dash what he was thankful for and this was his response:

1. That you just gave me permission to come up on the bed and snuggle with you. I am always thankful when I'm on your bed or the couch. I guess I'm thankful you're a pushover who spoils me!

2. For kibble, duh. I love breakfast the most. No, dinner. Dinner is my favorite. Or wait, breakfast. I can't decide. I just love meal times!

3. That your family and friends love me almost as much as you do. They're always happy when they get to pet me or play with me or take me on a walk or run when it's too cold for you. You have some great friends and family, Emily!

4. Toys. Squeaky toys. Tennis balls. Chewy toys. I especially love them once I've really saturated them in slobber. Who wouldn't be thankful when I drop a soggy ball in their lap?! 

5. I'm very thankful that the trainers at Canine Companions for Independence knew that I would be most happy being your service dog, Emily. I'm thankful every time you drop something because then I get to pick it up. I'm thankful when the sun goes down because I get to turn the lights on for you. I'm thankful when your parents don't hear you because I get to bark so loud for you! I'm thankful when you go out because I get to help you open the door. I'm thankful for you, Emily!

Well, well, well. That Dash is a smooth-talker! But I have to say that I am most thankful for him as well. 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
