Post-Thanksgiving...

Months are flying by so quickly. We had a quiet Thanksgiving here, and every floor of this house is all decorated for Christmas except for the big tree in the dining room. My husband still insists on a fresh tree for the ‘main’ tree. Fresh? More like dead. With zillions of needles falling to the floor as soon as you start adding ornaments. 

The virus circus continues.... although the mask mandate has been lifted in our small town. Which is a blessing in itself. I have had it with the virus and all its implications and restrictions. 

Ditto for the presidential election. The only news programs we watch now are on NewsMax, which is totally unbiased, as a news network should be. This election was a farce. All the ‘winning’ votes for the democrats appeared in the middle of the night... in some states more votes came in than the number of qualified and registered voters. All praise for Rudy Giuliani for trying his best now to get this election over-turned for President Trump. After all the work that Trump has done these past four years, with unrelenting aggression towards him from the democrats, it would be a shame for this country to have his efforts undone by a corrupt political establishment.

On the brighter side... I found a little dog on the road last week. Scruffy, filthy, matted, horrible condition. A neighbor was able to catch him for me and we took him to the vet. He is approximately 4-5 years old, 25 pounds, and as sweet as can be. We had him bathed and shaved... he is a mix of Lhasa Apso and Schnauzer, and when his hair grows back, he will be a beautiful dog. We named him Benjamin, Benji for short... and we are keeping him. As long as we give Savannah extra treats and attention, she is okay with the new arrangement. Benji has to get used to the cats, and vice versa, so for now the cats are sequestered in the TV room, with minimal contact with ‘the new guy.’ 

We do not have children... we have four cats... and now two dogs instead of one. All were rescues. Everyone has a purpose in this world.... saving unwanted pets must be mine. I feel very blessed, and I hope our furry kids feel the same way.
