Friday, November 23, 2007 Giving Thanks.. I know I am a day late with this post, but if you know me, being late isn't anything new:) I'm always trying to catch up. Life has been so busy lately that I even had to order Thanksgiving Dinner this year. Our friend "Charlie" who is also an avid animal lover has a fabulous little gourmet restraunt and he made our dinner. Couldn't have done better myself!! I just want to say "Thank You" again to everyone who reads this blog.. I have a lot to be thankful for and do count my blessings daily. This blog has had over 85,000 hits since the begining of the year from all over the world. Pretty cool!! I have an invisible stat counter which tracks the blog activity. The power of the internet is amazing!!! If I don't know you personally I am glad you found me.. My reflections yesterday were of my family, those who have passed and left their mark on my life. My grandpa "Clyde" is a huge part of who I grew up to be and my love of the animals. The words he left me, that stay in my heart every day, is that "Hope leads you" and "Faith gets you there". I live my life by these words. I've gotta run but will post more soon. I just received a wonderful donation from a group of teenagers from Minnesota and will tell that story with pictures in the next post. Amazing young people who make me hopeful for the future. I hope you all had a Fabulous Holiday with your family and your furry friends.. A little note in case you haven't learned this already.. Turkey is fine to share with the pets, but stay away from giving them gravy:) I learned the hard way many years ago... Light and Love to you all!!! :: posted @ 2:00 AM by Bernie Berlin:: COMMENTS: I love, LOVE, LOVE the picture of you and all of the dogs. So sweet. I see Cissy on the right - just checking out the whole situation. Who's that dark dog with the long tail on the left? You can just see his face & he has some white on his paws. # posted by  Laura Stewart : November 23, 2007 10:57 AM   Hi Bernie - I sent you a donation a few weeks ago, and you haven't aknowledged it.
