Hi all- Jerimiah here. This is a day Mom says we all need to be thanks ful! Well, I AM! I am thanks full of cheerio's cause we all got some extra today. Why, well Mom said she was Thanks full that we was all doing so well and was healthy, she was thanks full that we have a warm house and shelter to play in, she was thanks full for the new volunteers who come & play with us and help on shelter night to do chores - hey I will miss them today! ( but I still want some pizza) and she is thanks full that everyone has finished their operations and is doing fine. She is thanks full for the family who will take the white boy home tomorrow-- and the family who will be taking little Mouseketeer home soon. And is thankful that many of the shelter kids are young and healthy and should have their own home in time. Mom said she is thanks full that hospice Mom Marilyn is helping on the Holiday Open house Dec. 9th, and that Hospice Mom Judy is making special wreaths for the event, and that shelter dad is helping bake goodies too! It takes a lot of extra stuff to have a fun day with eats so she is very thankful they all is helping out! I hope that I will get a smidgeon of the turkey she keeps talking about. It is the first turkey they have had in a few years at Thanksgiving time. Last year there was an emergency surgery for Puff who ate her stitches out! Boy oh boy, sometimes these little gals do anything for attention!! She is thanks full for all the folks who make it easier to take care of us kids and get supplies. Mom is also thanks full that she will get visited this weekend by another shelter Mom Jan. They stops in sometimes and Mom said it is very special when another shelter person can stop by! Dad is making a special cake to share while they is here! We all is sharing our thanks full tummies with you all. Sterling is thanks full too as he now has 2 foster moms- Auntie Linda and Jean S who help each month and maybe they can do more for him than the one shot he gets every week. He is slowly growing some grey hair on his bald belly-- he better hurry it sure is cold here now! ( He is thanks full that shelter mom keeps treating him with seedless grapes!) Bear is thanks full as his bad eye infection is getting much better! Daniel is thanks full cause he gets to play more now-- that the 5 boys all room together! Casper is thanks full that the infection he had from chewing on the cage is finally all cleared up-- and he is thanks full of flavored pop corn cake today! I guess that is what the thanks giving day is all about. I am really looking forward to the open house day-- and hopes everyone will come by! It should be such fun. There will be a Christmas tree set up in the other part of the building where mom has the store-- she won't have it in here as last time some of th4e kids climbed up and got into the new sacks & such-- she sure gets ruffled over nuthin ya know! But you can come play here too@! The party starts here-- ends there-- and meanwhile we will all have such fun. We is all thanks full in the shelter of our big shelter friends & family! So thanks for letting me give you my thanks full wishes!
