Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[WDWEPCOT]

Dogs
Bears
Horses
I should mention my pesky deer friends - it’s so cute every night on our final nightly potty run my dog stops and does a full search looking for the deer and doesn’t stop until I tell him they are not out tonight or tell him where the deer are hiding ! This also includes our resident rabbit family too !
He’s always looking for them !!!

Special request today - if you have a minute, please stop over on the birthday wishes board

here

and wish Snowwite (who you might know from Slo's polls) a very happy birthday! - We need to take care of our Christmas week babies, because their birthdays so often get overshadowed by the holiday

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'm going with 3 whole animal categories I'm grateful for -

All my pet cats (2 currently and 3 more over the years) and the love and cuddles they've shared with me.

All the internet animals I follow on Instagram, who make me smile and laugh.

The animals in zoos and aquariums that I've been lucky enough to see and learn about up close.

 

[bobbiwoz]

The dogs and cats who have been in my life and those who have belonged to my family and friends. Especially T&T who have made my friend Joyce’s life bearable since Jack has passed.



Manatees, I hope these gentle animals always are around.

Giraffes, my favorite animals to watch at AKV, Jambo and Kidani.

Happy Wednesday

Quickie Answers today….

#1 - The different birds in my yard - especially Cardinals

#2 - Our Dogs (RIP) - I have a feeling we may get a puppy more sooner than later

#3 - Deer - I love watching them next to my house

Giraffe- my favorite animal. I'll do the safari at AK multiple times, just to see the giraffe again!

Cats- especially Potter and Weasley, the littermates we got from my MIL one Thanksgiving. We had them until they were 17 (Potter) and 20 (Weasley) and they filled DD's childhood (an only child) with companionship and love. They were funny boys and we still miss them a LOT.

Raccoons- except when they are getting into our trash bins! Such funny little guys, almost human with those "hands" of theirs.

In many places, today is know as Boxing Day, inspiring...

Todays Topic (Tues, 12/26) - 3 things you're grateful for that come in boxes

I called it Unboxing day as I unpacked quite a few boxes from our move.

Anyway, things I am grateful for that come in boxes:

1. Anything Amazon
2. Chocolate, I got a box of See's for Christmas, YUM!
3. Frozen Pizza! It has saved many a night when I didn't feel like cooking!

 

[DawnM]

Inspired by all those Chewy answers, and also View attachment 820635 -

Today's Topic (Wed (12/27) - 3 animals you're grateful for

(Individual ones, whole species, whatever...)

1. Dogs (companions)
2. Elephants (majestic and powerful)
3. Horses (transportation and companionship)

This is a hard one because I do love animals, and so many more than I listed.

Today's Topic (Thu, 12/28) - 3 artists/entertainers you're grateful for

STING
Robin Williams
John Cusack

[flyingdumbo127]

John Dye especially, Roma Downey, and Della Reese, who I was blessed to know for a while. Touched by an Angel actors.

I am thankful for many of Chris Tomlin's quieter worship songs.

Lighter note, Bob Barker made a kind difference to animals and brought fun and comfort to so many including dad and I for so very many years.

Animals:
1. Nala—our dog, named after Simba’s partner in The Lion King.
2. Childhood dogs—Daisy, Casey and Mickey.
3. My dad’s dog Olive—given him a purpose after my mom’s passing.

Entertainers:
1. Dolly Parton—not really a big fan of country music but I liked her big donation to fund vaccine research during the pandemic. I think she is often generous with her money.
2. Garth Brooks—still not a country fan (but my DH is) and we went to a concert of his and it is probably the best show I have ever seen.
3. Taylor Swift—she was a first concert for my girls many years ago and her most recent show was a great day in 2023 for our family.

Another vote for Queen Dolly!

Also seconding John Williams - his music is part of so many iconic movies!

And it's only fair if I come up with at least one of my own - I'll say Steve Irwin (king of animal education shows on TV).

Hi All - Happy Thursday Afternoon

I’m taking a quick lunch break.

#1 - Mark Wahlberg - I love how open he is with his faith and I love how he always says, “Stay Prayed Up!”

#2 - Michael J. Fox - I love how open and positive he is with his Parkinson’s. If you haven’t watched his movie/documentary on Apple TV it’s amazing and so well done. It’s worth it to pay for one month of Apple TV just to watch this.

#3 - Johnny Depp - the best character actor ever (IMO). He can transform himself into anything, and I’m a big Captain Jack fan - even my car is themed to PotC thanks to my DH.
