Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2002. Mattie was 7 months old. This is a favorite fall photo of mine. Behind us is an oak tree. This tree has great significance to me because when Mattie entered preschool, he started to collect tent moth caterpillars in the spring. He would bring them home from school, we would put them in jars, and feed them until they spun a cocoon and transformed into moths. We then released them on our deck. But what we quickly learned was that these caterpillars only ate oak leaves. This is the only oak around our home. So this tree became very special part of our spring caterpillar tradition.

Since we got Sunny two years ago, I am very tuned into other dogs around me and their behavior. Not sure why I wasn't prior to Sunny coming into our lives, but I think dogs are very special creatures. They are emotional, bright, appreciative, and loving.
At the moment, I am cooking our own Thanksgiving dinner at home. Since we were away for Thanksgiving, we missed having our own turkey and left overs. As soon as Sunny came back home from his walk, he was very interested in the smells coming from the kitchen. Sunny is an important part of our family and of course he will be getting some turkey tonight.
