[Twilight Sparkle]

Congratulations to PollyannaMom and the TEAM for turning Pleasant Purple, and to MikeNamez and Twilight Sparkle for turning Positive Pink!

With the cats having had their turn, the dogs now demand some attention. Here's a sweet article about service-dogs-in-training visiting California Adventure. And though not Disney connected, here's a list of 20 heroic dogs who saved their people's lives.

Oh, and for Twilight Sparkle, here's a cute clip involving a pony. Hope your DD never pulled something like this!

What great stories! Love the dogs in their mouse ears. The rescue stories - just wow! No, thankfully, I've never had a pony in my bathroom, but we do have a pony at the barn that looks just like that one. I'd like to hire that three year old to wash our horses. It looked like she was doing a good job!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve here in the U.S.

If you need a smile, cute Disney-themed kid pictures might work. Here's an article about Utah's Beckham Bohman, whose father (aka Toy Story Dad) is really into Disney and dressing Beckham up (super-cute Woody outfit!). And here's a link to Toy Story Dad's Instagram account. Beckham seems remarkably chill with all the costumes and the pictures!

And Happy Thanksgiving (or Happy Random Thursday or Friday elsewhere in the world).

Here are 15 heartwarming acts of kindness in 2018, courtesy of Reader's Digest. One even involves Disney!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Such a wonderful day to make us focus on our blessings. No matter what else is happening, it’s so important to step back and see just how lucky we are.
If it warms up tomorrow I hope to get out and walk off at least some of the stuffing! Lol!

Congratulations to Elizabeth Smith for turning Positive Pink!

In honor of Black Friday, here's a nice Disney-related story from last year's Christmas shopping season. And here are thirteen stories of remarkable customer service. I think my favorite has to be #6.

While I (sophy1996) was inching into Positive Pink, Twilight Sparkle jumped right into Great Green! Way to go!

Here's a nice update on a Thanksgiving story from a couple of years ago -- a grandma texted her grandson about Thanksgiving plans, but she had the wrong number. The not-grandson came over anyway, and this year makes three years running!

And here are more heartwarming stories about kindness.
