Thanksgiving

I’m not a huge holiday person, but I do love thanksgiving. Reflecting on the year of God’s goodness and resting is quite wonderful. Yummy food, lots of laughs and cozy weather I love. Thank you, Lord, for letting me be an aunt, and for the care you have provided through many people this year, and for all the people I dearly love in prison….and of course, my little, brown pup- my constant companion and helper 🙂

Shih tzu

Since my boss and I both have shih tzus, he has declared tomorrow as “bring your shih tzu to work day.” I have a feeling it will be a funny day:) Gordon better behave.

Day 8: Gordon

It goes without saying I LOVE MY DOG!!!!!!!!! Gordon Winrod Koppin is the sweetest little ewok-looking creature in the world. I am very thankful for him because thru him, God has shown me what unconditional love looks like. Gordon is ALWAYS happy to see me no matter what I have done, how I feel, if I play with him, or ignore him. I got him 3.5 yrs ago as a replacement when my sister got married. Sorry, Claire! The day after her wedding I got to pick up my little furball and got to hear his squeaks all the way home. He is a stubborn rascal who has never liked to be confined in any way. He is a Mama’s boy who must know where I am at all times. He drank the beer my mom put in the garden to attract slugs, but I couldn’t tell if he was drunk cause he already walks zig zagged while sober. He got a shoe stuck to his face while I was home with a stomach flu and I couldn’t get it off so my mom had to come home from a work meeting and take him to the vet. I of course was sobbing. The vet people were probably telling that story for weeks. He knows when I am sad or not feeling well and comes and sits on my lap and is my therapy dog. He loves everyone and thinks the world revolves around him. He shakes uncontrollably during thunderstorms so he has to be right in my arms held tight. He is my secret service body guard and saved me when someone tried to break into my house. I am thankful for my dog and he is truly a gift from the Shepherd!!!
