Developing an Attitude of Gratitude: A Dog's Perspective

I'm grateful for every day with my humans, but some days are easier than others. When I have a stomachache because I've eaten something I wasn't supposed to, or my plans to go to the beach get scrapped because my humans have to work, I need to take a few seconds to think about all the other things that I am grateful for.

Fortunately, I don't have to think very long. Here's my starter list of things to be grateful for:

My four-legged pals at dog day care

A brand-spanking-new tennis ball

A dog collar that doesn't itch

A fluffy dog pillow in every room of the house

Crumbs on the floor

Getting a clean bill of health from the vet

A water bowl that's always full

Sun puddles

Dad letting me jump on the furniture

Mom not catching me jump on the furniture

What are YOU grateful for today?
