This Thanksgiving, I am really appreciating what I have! It helps a lot when you write down all the things you are thankful for. I am thankful for my family, my friends, my clean room, my toys, my clothes, my house, all of our cars, sports, God(and His love), and everything else!!!! Also think about what your pets are thankful for! A home, a bed, toys, their humans, etc, etc! 

So our friends got a new dog: it's a Brussels Griffon!!(his name is Buster)!!!!!! Those dogs are sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His face is slightly puggish, and his beard and mustache. I mean, COME ON!!!!!!! Who wouldn't want to have a little bearded, pug-like creature running around your house!!! Anyway, Brussels are small dogs, probably about 8-13 lbs. But they are not fragile! They are very sturdy, but small children should not handle these dogs unsupervised, due to there small size. Their body is somewhat square, and they have(like I mentioned earlier) a very bushy, expressive face, almost human-like! Brussels Griffons are generally healthy, and can thrive in apartments, as long as they get daily walks/exercise. They can have smooth or rough coats, and come in 4 colors: red, belge(black and reddish brown), black, and black and tan. You should brush the smooth coats weekly, but rough coats should be professionally hand stripped. Also, start training this dog early! Overall, ...

So there was a dog show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, and I dragged my family there, as always. It was so cool to see all the different dog breeds!!!! The dogs were so poised and just, well, perfect! There was a boy, probably about 9 or 10, and he was showing a German Shepherd! I was so amazed at how much practice, time, and work he put into that dog! Most of the people were adults, all the way from 20 year olds, to like 1,000,000 year old people! A lot of them are stiff-necked, though! Especially the 40+ people! My dad is a photographer, and he was taking pictures of the dogs, and some of the owners are looking at us like their dogs are more human than we are! So, I like and don't like going to dog shows! Love the breeds, don't like most owners!

So the other day my family and I had pancakes, and of course, Daisy Doodle(my dog) wanted some, too. So my dad whipped up some little pancakes for her. We call them DoodleKakes! Instructions for making a DoodleKake: You will need: one egg 1/2 cup of cornmeal spoon bowl griddle spatula Mix one egg and 1/2  cup of cornmeal in the bowl, and stir it with the spoon. Pour batter on to a hot griddle(you can put the griddle between 350 and 400 degrees). Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until edges are dull. Flip over with a spatula. Cook until done. Flip off of griddle onto a plate. They should be pretty hot, so let them cool down before giving them to your dog. A quicker way to cool them down is to put the m on an anti-griddle or in the freezer. I hope your dog enjoys these DoodleKakes!
