I am a lucky man
I have a lot to be thankful for.
My mom (in her young 70’s came up to spend the holiday with us.)
She loves running the hounds and is a shoe in for any walk we go on.
She doesn’t care if it is raining, or snowing, or dark, or 102*. She suits up and shows up. We always make a point of going for a long walk with the hounds.
I am thankful for her.
Recently I picked up a young dog named Kaden.
He seems to appreciate our time together, and is responding well to our time afield.
I am thankful for him.

He has a great gift.
He is able to fly just above the grasses, and across the water.
He seems to enjoy Ginger as a companion,
He likes to try to find the Bufflehead I have stashed in my pocket.
He is a boisterous ruddy lad.
It is a lot of work to run his batteries low
and it is a great pleasure to be with him and my clan under the alders along the creek.
I am thankful for a chance at a moment with all of them in my favorite place.
I’ll pitch the fetch across the water and under the Maples on the opposite shore.
Kaden’s afterburners lit up.
It seems as though no amount of ice cold creek water can cool the fire he has,
And I am thankful for it.
He is a good dog, and is just getting started.
“come on boy”
“Good boy”
My best friend Anya (also my wife) encouraged me to take on a new dog.
I am thankful for her.
I am thankful for Ice instead of mud.
And a dog that is willing to sink his junk in the frigid waters just to see what is on the other side
Even if it just the shine off of the ice.
I am thankful for the reminder that it is cold out, but the shake off from the soaking dog was enough to tell me so.
I am thankful for enough food to let the tree drop a few for the deer
And tonight I am thankful for a pair of “ragdolled” pups
right here.
