Three years ago this week I was at a Hurricane Katrina rescue center in Tylertown, Mississipi, covering the holiday for
Best Friends Animal Society. Writing about rescued animals. Working with them. Writing about volunteers. Getting to know them. What a difference three years make. Animal consultant
Sherry Woodard took time out to play with a dozen pups (pictured above) -- all post-Katrina victims, born on the streets. They were lucky.
Last year I was in
Pahrump, Nevada, spending an outdoor Thanksgiving (photo above) covering an
unTurkey dinner (delicious) with volunteers who spent their holiday caring for
800 cats confiscated from a hoarding situation.
Lots to be thankful for this year. Wonderful job with
Best Friends as a staff writer. Nice gig in my spare time writing books. Great old friends. Great new friends. Great family. GREAT companion dogs.
Speaking of, I'm taking my three critters hiking in
Red Rock Canyon Thanksgiving morning -- just my dogs and me -- then to a friend's house for dinner with my good friend and fellow writer
Chip. Good company with my dogs in the morning in a beautiful, quiet natural setting, then good company later with friends in a festive environment.
Peace and a happy, safe Thanksgiving to one and all!
