November 23, 2017

White Dog and Steve went for a walk down the way armed with "leftover goodies" to share with those in need who often frequent the alley and huddle behind the dumpsters along the glamorous Route 66.

It had been a wonderful day of sanctuary, noshing, music and memories...creating LOTS of thankful comments and thoughts. We savored very moment and every bite but now it is night and we shifted to prepare for the end of the day. So we put together little bags of cheese and crackers, squares of spanakopita, roasted veggies, and a cookie...then Steve took the Little White Dog of My Heart out to become an outlaw in our city which has made feeding the homeless a crime. On the way out of the door, they stopped and circled back to the kitchen to fill several additional baggies with dog kibble...as WD put it, "Just in case."

Everyone wanted to go but understood the presence of the entire White Dog Army might be a bit intimidating to some.

So we rested our VERY full tummies.

We were grateful for comfy places to rest and for family.

We waited for WD and Steve to return with happy stories.

We were happy to be so blessed.

Tonight we ask that Universe grant you, your families and all Earth's creatures, whether they celebrate this holiday or not, at least ONE thing for which you can be grateful. ONE thing that fills your hearts with hope and joy. ONE thing that makes the bad times bearable. And we send our love so you know you are never alone.

You give us pause to be thankful this day for your friendship and support. Happy Thanksgiving.
