Let the Shopping Begin
As we clear the Thanksgiving Dinner table, eat pie, clean the dishes and say good-bye
to our guest - what's on your mind? Mine is getting my PJs on, cuddling
up on the couch until the 9:00 hour strikes, and go to bed. For many
people though, it is quite different.
Many families have a great tradition of saying good-bye to family and
start drafting out their strategic plans of what stores they will hit first and
what discounts are most important.
Black
Friday has been a part of Thanksgiving Family Traditions since the 1960s. According to BlackFriday.com (yes there is
such a siteJ) the term “Black Friday” was coined in the 1960s
to mark the kickoff of the Christmas shopping season. The word “Black” refers to stores going from
“red” to “black” when accounting records referred to red as being in the
positive. Visit the site for all the Black Friday History and ads.
So, what
is it about Black Friday that has families taking off right after the
Thanksgiving Dinner is over? Maybe the
amazing discounts and deals that stores only offer on this day? Maybe it’s the thrill getting the door
busters before anyone else? Or, maybe
it’s something even bigger than that?
Maybe it the tradition of family working together, making the plan,
executing the plan and having the bond and togetherness that starts the holiday
season together having fun and being teammates to accomplish snagging the big deals of the season.
I admit I
have gone out a few years with my sister and it was a blast. We made a plan of action and met up at the
stores around 2:00 am. We got great
deals, but honestly, today I couldn’t tell you what we bought, I can tell you
however, the stories of how much fun we had.
I have since moved away, so I don’t get to share in the tradition with
her, except for those years when I am home for the holidays. Now I have triplet boys that are 19 years old
and they have made this family tradition with their friends. For the past few years they and 3 to 4 other
friends head out after the turkey and pie are put away and start shopping. For them it is all about the fun – not
necessarily getting the best deals.
So, if
this is part of your family tradition, get your sneakers on, grab your list,
and go get those deals. Here is a great
link that I found with all the Black Friday deals…ENJOY.
If you would rather stay home in the comfort of your home - wait for Cyber Monday Sales on December 1st. Here a list of great items that will be available http://www.cybermonday2014.com/

A home for the holidays:
No adoption fee for senior pets.
November is adopt a senior pet month, so most, if not all, animal services are waiving the adoption fees for all “senior” dogs and cats. Senior animals range from 6 years to 8 years and older, depending on where you live or what agency you are planning to adopt from.
Many
people automatically think “puppy” or “”kitten” when they are ready to add a
new dog or kitten to their family.
Puppies and kittens are cute and cuddly, so who can blame anyone for
wanting to adopt one. However, puppies
and kittens demand lots of attention, patience, and training to help them
become a wonderful member of the family.
Honestly, I am one of those people then can not resist a cute little
puppy or kitty, but the older I get the more I realize the need for families to
adopt senior animals, as well as how wonderful it would be to have that older
pet come into my home and not have all that additional potty trainingJ I have come to realize the older dogs and
cats can be just as cute and lovable as puppies or kittens and they often come
with wonderful qualities that take years for puppies and kittens to grow into.
If
you are anything like me, you may be reluctant to adopt an older dog or cat
because you fear the time that you may have with your new furry friend may be
limited. I have come to realize that
every day, every moment that we can love and share a special bond with an older
pet makes that time even more special.
Knowing that we can give an older dog or cat a second chance at life
will give us comfort when the time comes that we can no longer help them.
Adopting
a senior dog or cat can be wonderful experience for you and your new pet, so
here
puppy or kitten.
Senior
pets have an unwavering devotion to their new family.
Senior
pets are instant companions.
Senior
pets are typically housetrained or box trained.
Senior
pets won’t chew like puppies.
Senior
pets are calmer.
Many
senior pets from rescue groups are already trained, medical exams, shots,
spayed or neutered.
Senior
pets make perfect companions for Senior People.
Adopting
a senior dog or cat saves a life!
I
want to share a few resources with you about adopting senior pets and the great
non-profits that continually do amazing work to help dogs and cats find their
forever homes.
AdoptaPet.com
has many resources available to help you find the perfect pet. Visit this link for great information about
adopting pets nationwide: http://www.adoptapet.com/adopt-a-senior-pet If you
are like me, you don’t like to hear statistics, but according to AdoptaPet, 25%
of pets in shelters are purebreds and approximately 4 million pets are put to
sleep each year due to overpopulation.
This non-profit Senior Pet adoption service is sponsored by the pet
lovers at Purina and Advantage II.

Giving Thanks For the Pets in Our Lives...
As the weather begins to
change and leaves turn to yellow, orange and red I begin to think of
Thanksgiving. It’s a time we stop and
think about all the blessings in our lives and give thanks for all that we
have.
I am blessed in many ways,
I have a wonderful husband, three amazing boys, my Mom and sisters and tons of
extended family. It’s been a tough year with many losses including losing
I am truly blessed and
thankful for everyone in my life including all the pets. With the heartache I have felt in the past
year, it seems I always turn to my pets to make me smile. Of course my family is always there for me
and their love gets me through the tough times, but there is something about a
wet nose and furry coat to hug on when I’m feeling down. My pets always give me unwavering love and
devotion. Pets have no idea what bad or good is going on in our life, but when
we cry they are sad, when we laugh they play, when we mess up they do not judge
us.
We recently brought a new
chocolate lab into our home. Her name is
Callie and she fits right in with two other labs and bassette hound, Jett, Bear
and Bailey. From the time our
For the past 9 years my
boys and I have had a wonderful tradition during the Thanksgiving season. During the holiday season we get the list of items needed from our local animal shelter, Dumb Friends League in Denver Colorado. The list consists
of many pet supplies including paper towels, dog food, cat food, kitty litter,
cat and dog toys and many other items necessary to keep the shelter
running. My boys and I make a day of
going to the stores and buying up as much as our budget can handle. Each of us takes a copy of the list and
decides individually what we want for the pets in need. It’s so much fun to see what we each of us
picks. We then take the bags of goodies
and deliver it straight to the shelter.
I love the idea that we make it a family day and we know that every
penny that we are spending goes directly to the animals in need.
There is so much to be
thankful for throughout the year, so as Thanksgiving Day approaches and we
begin to plan the dinner menu, make those reservations, decorate the house –
take a break, and give thanks for the pets in your life and give back to those
pets in need.
What better time than
Thanksgiving to give gratitude for the pets in our home and help
