A dear friend gave me this gratitude journal for my birthday, which we celebrated late this year.

Every morning, I start the day with a few words about what I’m thankful for.

This little bundle of joy appears on those pages often.

So, as I prepare to welcome Puddin, Little He, Tinker, Gigi, Rufus and my wonderful husband to our little Tampa house, I am grateful for the two years Riley and I have had alone together. He is a wonderful little companion, a real character, and a joyful reminder of the importance of love in my life.

As I told him this morning, from here on out, once he gets used to other dogs and cats in his space, every day will be a Play Day. And I will always love him the way I do now.

Gratitude. For Riley and for all creatures great and small.
