I Am Thankful For . . .

WHEN I GOT MY DOG . . . 

- Author Unknown

I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly; 

I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats. 

I asked for good health that I might rest easy; 

I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing. 

I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud; 

I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble. 

I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful; 

I was given a clown that I might laugh. 

I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely; 

I was given a best friend that I would feel loved. 

I got nothing I asked for, 

But everything I need.
