Attitude of Gratitude- Day 10

I have these two critters that hang around my house..you've read about them: Seoul-Roy and Seoul-Rat.

Seoul-Roy is old and is quite attached to me. We bonded in a PetSmart parking lot about 11 years ago and have had quite a friendship ever since then. He had a tumultuous first two years with us and then mellowed out. His favorite past time is lounging and he's really good at it. Seoul-Rat was also found in a parking lot- a mall lot- after almost getting run over by the car in front of me. She was only 6 weeks old, too young to be away from her mother. That lucky duck found a home with us, too although she's been a little more feisty and challenging. Still, we love her and she definitely has put a little spring in Seoul-Roy's steps.

We're dog people. I heard an expression once- never trust anyone who doesn't love a dog. I like that. (although, yes, I know some of you DON'T like animals at all..you really should give a dog a try..) We especially like spotted dogs and that's why these two fit in so well with us. They're pretty loyal and being sick, like I have been, it's pretty great to snuggle up with the both of them. I think they innately know when one of their 'peeps' isn't 100%. They are extra sweet and cuddly.

So today on Day 10, I'm thankful for my dogs. They've cost me a ga-jillion dollars over the years, make me vacuum almost daily, and try to sneak up on the bed when I'm not around but I think we'll keep them. After all, loyal friends are worth keeping around..
