Hi folks! We don't know about y'all but we are still in a food coma…several days later. When Thanksgiving comes it hits us like the school bus hits Regina George and leaves us out for the count. To celebrate this year, we asked our users to tell us a reason or two why they are thankful for their pets. And as usual, our users did not disappoint.

People poured in from left from right and from every corner of the social media world to share with us why they are thankful for their beloved pets. It made us realize that we have so very much to be thankful for this holiday season, and our pets are right up amongst the top reasons. They support us when we are down, give us love when we feel alone, and add so much cheer and joy to our lives every single day. We'd like to take this moment to appreciate all of the wonderful pets of the world and say thank you, for being so faithful and loving to your human counterparts. We surely appreciate it.

    Rectangle - Eva Roethlisberger Lepelley I'm so thankful for my cat, Bitsy. This past year l've had to deal with a divorce and depression. My cat has been there for me. She knew when I was upset. Anytime I was feeling out of whack, Bitsy was there with a cuddle and a purr. Pets are too good for us. Like Reply · Hide · Message · 2d

    Life ain't easy, that's no secret. Though there are some things that make it a little easier. Pets, for example, support us in tough times and show us unconditional love no matter how tough things get, with pets by our side things have a way of working out just fine.

    We certainly appreciate a good sense of humor, much like Michelle here! Pumpkin pancakes?? Are there any leftovers? Sighs, the answer to that question is likely no, we find that in households with pets there tend to be minimal leftovers. Oh well, we hope Poppy and Stella enjoyed their breakfast!

    Output device - Cherrie C. Chiu Pix from 2016. Thankful for my cats. One is a goofball who makes me laugh every single day (not pictured). The other is sweet and soothing. She also happens to take after me, and is an absolute chow hound. Watch your fingers when you slip her a piece of turkey. Like · Reply · Hide · Message · 2d · Edited

I told her if she could calm down my anxiety attack, I would get up and go feed her, an hour early. She loved me right out of it. She got breakfast early this morning.
