I am thankful for our pets, Oreo and Socks. Kind of 🙂 Oreo hisses at me less often these days. Socks seems to appreciate the extra pets I’ve given her. Both of our cats are so shy, but they love Giana. She is the one who gives them treats!

I am also thankful for the fact that we had the fish and Hawk for so much of the year. I am also thankful we had such a smooth transition with both of them. The fish, to their new home and doting owner.  Hawk, well, we got to say goodbye to him on our bed, his favorite napping place, as the vet helped him go peacefully.
