THANKSgivng

Happy Thanksgiving all, only one day late!!! I have so many things to be thankful for. So I shall just state thank you existence, and Swamiji!

There is one thing I would like to talk about, and thank in particular though. An event that changed my life. What? I got a dog. Well actually my family got a dog, but you know, same thing. I have had dogs my whole life, I was born at home with a dog (Carmen) in the next room, My first word? Dog leash. I swear I'm not kidding. When we moved to Ohio Ashram in 2008 we gave all our pets including our two dogs, Rosie and Bojangles, away. That has always been the sore point about our move, friends? I could deal with, new house? It's a house, but the dogs....
When we moved into our own house in 2009 we could conceivably get dogs again, but my parents where done with that part of our life. The long walks twice a day, fenced in yards, hair everywhere. I wasn't though, I was just waiting for the day I could get a dog again. Then on Tuesday we got a call. "would you like Bojangles back?" No reason just that call. The funny thing is my want for the dogs had seriously increased when my friends talked about their dogs I would get teary eyed, and I spent long minutes at those friends houses fondling over their dogs. Long story short we have Bo back. A medium sized Golden Retriever/ Irish setter mix. He is getting quite old 13, in fact (91 in dog years) but is exactly the same, albeit slower and with a more pronounced limp. Here is a picture of him, and I. So thank you countless times Swamiji you have made this the most thankful thanksgiving ever.

Here's a picture Bo and me, taken today by my mum.
