Thankful

   This is a weekend to be thankful. We should always be thankful, but more than any other time, this weekend is a time for us to think and reflect on the things we should be thankful for.

For me, I feel like I have a lot to be thankful for. I'm thankful for having three great dogs that bring joy to my life -- they also prevent me from sleeping in and sleeping my life away, and encourage me to go for walks.

I'm thankful for the many people out there who do rescue and help animals.  You all do great things.

I'm thankful for the many people out there who are getting involved politically for animals and getting animal-unfriendly politicians and shelter employees out of office.

I'm thankful the thousands of people out there who are advocates for the dogs that have no voice -- both in their verbally educating people and in having their dogs be well-behaved advocates for their breeds.

I'm also thankful for the readers and commentors on this blog -- I've learned a lot from you.

And most of all, I'm thankful for my awesome wife who not only tolerates the time I put in on this blog, but is also one of the smartest people I know on the topics I write about. Most of my best stuff on this blog originated from her.  She is a great partner in our advocacy.

We always enjoy your blog, I adore Michelle and her passion. I'm proud to say I know both of you and I'm proud to represent KCDA in my city.

We have a lot to be thankful for, let's hope the next year is one of more cities realizing that BSL is not the way to go.

Brent your readers are thankful for GREAT bloggers like you, that provide us so much factual information and dedicate their lives to these wonderful dogs and cats that would otherwise not have a voice.

Your readers are extremely thankful for your darling wife's(Michelle)passion in fighting for the vision of a true no kill metro and nation and sharing you with us.

I'd like to say how thankful I am that my husband has not divorced me for dragging him into this mess. Who knew the simple act of adopting a blocky headed dog would be the most life changing event of our lives together.
