Paws for a Moment to give Thanks

You like my paws! Right? Right?

Nod you head with me OK:

 

Now that I have your attention, here in USA today is Thanksgiving Day..  We paws for a moment to give thanks for all the blessings we have.

Mama says this whole Thanksgiving Dinner thing started in November of 1621 when the Plymouth colonist and the local Native Americans, Wampanoag, got together to share their harvest.

That year the colonists were dying from contagious disease and scurvy and suffering and dying. 

When they left the ships and went on shore, they had a visit from a native American from Abenaki tribe who could speak English.

 Several days later, he returned with another Native American, Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold into slavery before escaping to London and returning to his homeland on an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the settlers forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a local tribe, which would endure for more than 50 years and tragically remains one of the sole examples of harmony between European colonists and Native Americans.

Mama is thankful she found the article and learned new things. We are both thankful we are friends with you in many countries all over the world. 

Here we are, 2021 on Thanksgiving Day which is also Brians Thankful Thursday.

I think all this means We need to pay attention and think about we have more than we need and most of what we want.
